The art work is splendid and full of wonderful detail. So much so you need lots of time to go over each painting several times. The verses which accompany each dog and tells its story are priceless and often "laugh out loud" funny.As silly as it can be, it also brought tears to my eyes and certainly makes a person think about the plight of the unwanted, homeless animals around the world. I'd suggest getting a copy of this book ASAP and then going to your local shelter and adopting a "flawed" dog for yourself.

Not a dog fan by nature, I was skeptical as I picked it up. Pretty soon however, I was laughing to tears. It's worth the purchase...hilarious!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: hilarious Review: This will be a great Christmas present for my 26 year old daughter who has a "flawed dog" of her own. I think this book would appeal more to a 12 years and up category. The variety of bizarre looking dogs coupled with the very funny rhymes made this a laugh out loud book for me.

Pictures of these wacky canines are accompanied with descriptions in rhyme penned by members of the Piddleton Poetry Club. This hilarious catalog includes Buttercup, a shar pei with one too many face lifts, iBoo, the robot dog whose faulty programming neglected housebreaking, and Spanks, the cat in dog's clothing. These pups are whimsical and endearing, and the only way in which they are truly flawed is in their lack of love. This story makes an earnest plea to adopt one of the millions of animals currently in shelters. A funny book for animal lovers of all ages.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Great illustrations Review: With a name like Berkeley Breathed you'd better be a Pulitzer-Prize winning illustrator with the talent to boot; otherwise, you yourself might end up in the Piddleton Last-Chance Dog Pound as just another flawed, unloved, and rejected mammal, whether canine or human. This funny book brings together a gaggle of aesthetically challenged canines for whom Lady Luck seems to have happily passed them by. Some of their owners are almost as unprepossessing, but you know what they say about dog owners resembling their dogs. Some of them are so homely they're almost cute, but I guess that wasn't enough to save them from the pound. This is another funny and beautifully illustrated children's book from Breathed.
