Matthew Inman dishes another helping of hilarity from his online comic The Oatmeal in My Dog: The Paradox. After years of carefully observing his own dog, Rambo, Inman follows his #1 New York Times best-selling How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You, with this ode to the furry, four-footed, tail-wagging bundle of love and unbridled energy frequently dubbed man’s best friend.

This eponymous comic became an instant hit when it went live on The Oatmeal.com and was liked on Facebook by 700,000 fans. Now fans will have a keepsake book of this comic to give and to keep.

In My Dog: The Paradox, Inman discusses the canine penchant for rolling in horse droppings, chasing large animals four times their size, and acting recklessly enthusiastic through the entirety of their impulsive, lovable lives. Hilarious and heartfelt, My Dog: The Paradox eloquently illustrates the complicated relationship between man and dog.

We will never know why dogs fear hair dryers, or being baited into staring contests with cats, but as Inman explains, perhaps we love dogs so much “because their lives aren’t lengthy, logical, or deliberate, but an explosive paradox composed of fur, teeth, and enthusiasm.”
《别相信任何猫》畅销作者，仔细观察自己的狗Rambo整整一年之后，决定为这种四只脚、毛绒绒、活力四射、总是开心地摇着尾巴，被称为“人类最好的朋友”的动物写书。这本《In My Dog: The Paradox》延续前作的爆笑幽默感，描写了许多狗儿不可思议的行为，例如非常喜爱滚在马的便便上、追逐体型比自己大许多倍的动物、总是用全副的精神与体力去做喜欢的事……

我们也许难以解释为什么狗狗会怕吹风机，或是对猫类莫名畏惧，但当你读完这本教人忍俊不住，甚至是心有戚戚焉的小书后，或许就能体会狗与人之间一言无法蔽之的复杂关系。如作者所言，它们的生命短暂、行为举止毫无逻辑，但是，它们对世界上所有人事物都抱持着无限的热情、随时充满好奇，或许正因为如此，才让人那么爱它啊！
