wow. Never thought it will come to a day when I would encounter a book on dog poop! I think kids would definitely find the concept funny with dogs smelling poops and finding it enticing. I liked the little titbit about dogs ability to smell better than humans . Very detailed review, I could smell good fun a mile away. Lol. congrats on BOTD.

I used to walk a neighbors Beagle and from the blurb about this book it is spot on. His walks took forever because of exactly the behavior described. I was forever trying to rush him, never worked. The book sounds so cute! My grandsons would love it!

Going on a sniffari with three beagles and the butler sounds fun, in a learning way. The review is done well and clarifies some who might be squeamish that this book is clean and informative. The title makes the book sound a lot worse! Laughter will reign until the reader learns the winner of the sniffari!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting children's book about how dogs have a greater sense of smell and follows three beagles and see the world through the eyes of the beagles. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Today's BOTD is an educational and entertaining children's book about dogs.
It's a great book for dog lovers, as people who don't love dogs might not find it interesting.
What interested me more, was getting to learn about dogs' unique sense of smell.
Congratulations on BOTD

It sounds like a very entertaining book for kids, although the more adult words you mentioned may need additional explaining. Not a book for me, but ideal for reading aloud to young ones.

Today I know that even though dogs vitality, is just our protection they have something special a human never had. They can smell 10000 to 100000 times more than us. This means God gave human and his animals that special thing we have.

What a title! I would have skipped this book just by the title but this review is giving me a rethink. I might read it on a long day.

Mr Jackson seems to love these three clever beagles so much. I really like the fun facts about dogs listed in this book. Every dog lover will enjoy reading this book!

This book sounds incredibly preposterous. The title itself entices you with the allure of venturing into the realms of obscurity. I appreciate the mention of the gross factor; it's an aspect I would prefer to avoid even when reading to kids. Loved the review!
