Bow Wow Yoga: 10,000 Years of Posturing - Rilegato

Gerry Olin Greengrass is a writer and illustrator.

An essential-and essentially hilarious!-guide to the ancient practice of canine yoga. One afternoon in her backyard, Gerry Olin Greengrass sat gazing at her dog, Cocoa, as he stretched his forepaws out in front of him and leisurely raised his hindquarters to the sky. It was a position she had seen him assume hundreds of times before, but it was only in this moment that it finally dawned upon her: her dog was practicing yoga! Thus began Greengrass's journey to discover the what, why, and how of this heretofore undocumented canine spiritual discipline (in a human language, anyway). The glorious result of all of these patient hours spent observing dogs in deepest communion with their inner beings? "Bow Wow Yoga"-a complete guide to canine yoga for dog and loving master alike. With detailed instructions on how to assume (and, more im-portant, hold) each of the fundamental canine asanas, accom-panied by illustrations of the poses themselves, "Bow Wow Yoga" shows dogs how to develop a practice that will fully benefit their doggy minds, bodies, and spirits. First there was "French for Cats," then there was "Why Cats Paint . . ." now it's time to find out what our dogs are up to!
