Sleeping between Giants

2021 International Book Award Humor Winner and multiple recipient of National Society of Newspaper Columnists Awards for Best Humor Blog, humorist Dave Jaffe and his wife rescued a terrier, although why anyone would is beyond them.Cunning, intelligent, and fleetingly thoughtful, this young, very social, black-and-white, cow-eyed terrier, Budleigh, was proof of those old adages, 'Smart as a terrier' and 'Did he break the skin?'Indies Today 2019 Best Humor Book Award Winner, Sleeping between Giants: Life, If You Could Call It That, With A Terrier explores the highly successful, though often confusing relationship between Canines and Giantsthrough essays and cartoons created by the author.Newly adopted Budleigh bonds quickly with his Giants 1 & 2 and as their first shelter dog, proves no more a challenge than if they’d both pursued medical degrees. He is more a challenge to, say, half a loaf of cornbread left on the table in a dark kitchen. But who could blame Budleigh? The streets taught him that talk is cheap, life is tough, and you don’t get much cornbread.Five-Star review, Indies Today: 'Dave Jaffe’s obvious love for animals is matched by his talent for writing. Sleeping with Giants will make you laugh out loud with the author’s Seinfeldian observations on life with a terrier.'Best-selling author Lori B. Duff review excerpt: 'I started to read it in the lobby of the auditorium while I was waiting for my son’s concert to start. I had to stop reading it in public because I was making a spectacle of myself, laughing, snorting, and insisting that my husband quit doing what he was doing so that he could read the passage I was laughing at.'Sleeping between Giants offers great wisdom from Budleigh, his older co-dog Brisby, Nature’s Perfect Schnoodle, and a host...well, pack of dog park locals.They’ve much to teach us. Besides the best spots to poop! 3
