Immerse yourself in a humorous adventure tale about a dog's life on a lush green farm with Louise DeVito and Arthur Dogson Todd's Canine Complaints. Arthur -- a Dachshund and Jack Russell mix -- was brought from the Cumberland Plateau to the twenty-two-acre Misty Meadows Farm in Tennessee. From the very beginning, Arthur was a quick learner and displayed an observant personality. He took his duties of searching for intruders and patrolling the farm's perimeters seriously. After an entire fox family invaded the grounds and attacked the chickens, Arthur started his Prior Protection Program (PPP). But Arthur also has other complaints. The cats on the farm show little respect, while Mr. C and O'mamma primarily rely on the snake, X.Terminator, to get rid of rats. Will Arthur be able to make it onto Mr. C's list?

Louise DeVito and Arthur Dogson Todd tell a fascinating tale narrated through the POV of an adorable dog featuring some enthralling artwork by illustrator Eva Vagreti. DeVito masterfully captures the psyche of a farm dog, offering readers a glimpse into the mind of an animal with an inherent instinct to protect and play. Arthur has a lively personality, and as a reader, you can't help but love him. This story beautifully showcases how animals are capable of love, care, kindness, and empathy. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly recommend it to children and adults alike.

Canine Complaints by Arthur Dogson Todd and Louise DeVito is a collection of amusing stories narrated in the voice of the book’s lovable protagonist, Arthur. A dog's perspective adds uniqueness to how one views regular events. Arthur’s deep thoughts on the happenings around him and his serious take on apparently silly matters make the stories humorous, but from the assessment of his actions and emotions as well as those of others, one can, at times, learn important lessons. Another enjoyable aspect of the book is the indirect, sarcastic remarks on social and political issues. I also love how the authors portray Arthur’s bittersweet relationship with his humans, Mr. Cliff and O’Mamma. His interactions and experiences with other animals are equally fascinating. I would recommend this book to animal lovers of all ages.
