John O'Hurley has always had a dog by his side - as a boy growing up in New England, and now as a husband, father, actor, television show host, and author in Los Angeles. To him, dogs are more than our best friends. They are also some of our most valuable and enlightened teachers.Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homeworkis written as a series of letters from O'Hurley's wise old Maltese, Scoshi, to his new baby son, William. In each letter, Scoshi shares observations on what it takes to be a man. O'Hurley then responds, including humorous remarks on what Scoshi meant to say, and offers more tales to illustrate each point.
At once poignantly moving and laugh-out-loud funny,Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework will delight dog lovers of all ages.
Actor John O'Hurley (J. Peterman on "Seinfeld") shares observations and advice from his dog, Scoshi--written on slips of paper for O'Hurley and his newborn son. The collection is a cohesive group of thoughts, more touching than corny, that contain insights one wouldn't expect from a book that uses such a silly literary device. What makes the audio so satisfying is the seamless connection between O'Hurley's wisdom and the outsized speaking talent he brings to the recording studio. Yet as writer and actor, he takes a backseat to the depth of this wisdom, rather than using it as a vehicle to show off his writing or dramatic skills. A moving audio for anyone enjoying the miracle of a new child in the family. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
