I remember reading A Dog Year and The Dogs of Bedlam Farm. I enjoyed both of these books, and thought that Devon the dog in A Dog Year was quite a handful, although I did find all of his dog antics quite funny.
In The Dogs of Bedlam Farm the story continues with Devon, renamed Orson and Jon moving to a farm and now they must adjust from city living to farm animals and all the work required to keep this farm running. Training Orson was a demanding project, but a quote from the dog trainer just says it all. “If you want to have a better dog, you will just have to be a better god-damned human.” These books are enjoyable, laugh out loud funny, but sweet and innocent. The dogs really work to keep the author on his toes.
