Beschreibung

People often chose a dog that resembles themselves, consciously or unconsciously.  Even scientific experiments have proved it. For example, you rarely find a Hell's Angel with a bichon frisé, or a sweet little old lady with a bulldog. A gentle quiet academic wouldn't normally chose a boisterous border collie, nor would an energetic teenager chose a basset hound.

Our beloved dogs are rather like our choice of car or the clothes we wear. The science writer David Robson says, 'The canine mini-me reveals a narcissistic tendency in us all.'

In these humorous, colourful illustrations of doppelgänger dogs, artist John Holder has depicted a superb, visually entertaining collection of dogs and their owners in all their lookalike glory. A treat for dog owners everywhere.

    ☠️ How to master the dead-eyed customer service smile while thinking about absolutely nothing 
    ☠️ The science of responding to any crisis with “Damn, that sucks” and moving on immediately 
    ☠️ Why “It is what it is” should be your life motto 
    ☠️ How to fake emotional depth by saying, “I just don’t open up easily” 
    ☠️ Strategic bathroom breaks: The only legally acceptable way to escape responsibility 
    ☠️ How to nod convincingly while mentally escaping to Ancient Rome 
    ☠️ The trick to falling asleep in three minutes by accepting your own mortality 
    ☠️ How to function just enough at work so no one notices you’re doing absolutely nothing 
    This is not a motivational book. It won’t inspire you. It won’t fix you. It will simply help you navigate life in the most effortless way possible, while maintaining just enough interaction to avoid being declared legally missing.
