Puppy’s Autobiography Receives Mixed Reviews

The long-awaited memoir from noted bad girl and professional puppy Bella has finally hit bookstores. Aptly titled Bad Dog, the autobiography is receiving mixed reviews, but is expected to sell well.

“Bad Dog lacks any sense of place,” wrote the New York Times Review of Books in a tepid review. “Bella has managed to craft an utterly flat narrative that it as turns both reserved and too detailed, but always narcissistic.”

Other critics found much to like in the book, however.

“Bad Dog grabs you from page one and doesn’t let you go,” exclaimed a glowing review from USA Today. “It is a tour de force that offers readers a rare glimpse into the often turbulent life of one of our generation’s most watched dogs.”

Puppy Lays Claim to Vast American Wilderness

When a beagle named Copper set out on a mapping expedition last fall, he never dreamed he’d find such pristine, untapped wilds. The puppy has sent reports back to base camp with tales of vast, uninhabited forests in the Great Smoky Mountains of the Southeastern U.S.

According to his bank rollers, Copper has claimed the land for himself, and set up a make-shift municipality called Copperton. Early reports indicate that he has begun settling the wilds.

“It’s hard to mark 187,000 acres of Appalachia with your pee, but Copper’s working on it,” says park ranger Dan Fillion, who is keeping tabs on the puppy from a distance. “He can make claims all he wants. This place has been federal parkland since 1934.”

It’s likely Copper is unaware of the legal challenges to his claim, but friends of the beagle expect him to fight for it in court when the issue arises.
