Brad Gosse My Racist Dog: Only Trusts Whites

My Racist Dog Only Trusts Whites... A Veterinary Problem That Is Also A Dinner Party Problem Doctor, please help. My little dog Jack only likes whites, and that is a fact that has created a range of social complications that no trainer has successfully addressed. Jack is not being aggressive. Jack is being specific. The specificity has been documented, tested, and confirmed across enough social situations to constitute a pattern that can no longer be attributed to coincidence. Jack has preferences. Jack's preferences have preferences. This book documents Jack's behavior with illustrated cartoon art and the exhausted sincerity of a pet owner who has tried everything and the dog is still making things weird. This adult parody book uses a dog with racial bias as a vehicle for the specific comedy of things that are both ridiculous and recognizable... the specific discomfort of a family pet whose personality creates situations that require explanation. The book is satire. The dog is a cartoon. The situations are familiar in the way that all genuinely awkward social situations are familiar once you've been in them. Jack means well, probably. Jack's track record suggests otherwise. This Book IS For:Pet owners who have had to apologize for their dog's behavior in ways that required more explanation than dog behavior normally requiresFans of comedy that uses animal characters to make social observations that land differently through the animal filterAnyone who has navigated the "my dog just does this" conversation with insufficient successGift-givers who want to give a dog book that is about a very specific kind of dog problemThis Book Is NOT For:People who feel that using a pet as a vehicle for racial commentary trivializes the commentaryDog trainers who believe all behavioral issues can be addressed with patience and positive reinforcement and have not met JackReaders who need their dog characters to be unambiguously good boys who are working on themselvesAnyone planning to show this to their actual dog to see if it helps, which it will notAppropriate For:Gag gifts for dog owners whose dogs have expressed strong opinions about specific guests in ways that required explanationWhite elephant exchanges where the room is diverse enough and close enough that this lands as the satire it's designed to beAnyone who has ever owned a pet that seemed to have preferences they didn't choose to haveOccasions where you want a book that uses a dog to say something that requires the dog filter to be said at allWhy Buy This Dogs are our best friends. They are also, occasionally, our most honest and least socially calibrated companions. Jack does not know that his preferences are creating a problem. Jack just has the preferences and expresses them without the social awareness that would soften the impact. In this sense, Jack is more honest than most humans, which is either charming or a problem depending on who's at the dinner party. The vet cannot help with this particular issue. The trainer has tried. The social situation continues to develop. For the cost of one training session that will not address the core issue, you get a book that documents the situation with illustrated accuracy and finds the comedy inside the frustration. Jack trusts whites. The book is honest about that. The dinner party was awkward. The book is honest about that too.
