Summary: Great gift for the canine person!
Complete with technical illustrations, graphs, and formulas, this book shows dogs how to:
* Bring down the mailman with the correct ratio of stealth and brute force
* Open any cupboard with Newton's First Law
* Play fetch by calculating velocity and maximum range
* Catch squirrels by accounting for friction, weight, and air resistance
* Save Timmy from the Well as follows:
Calculate your mechanical advantage (MA) where MA = N + direction of pull = 5 - 1 = 4.
With this hilariously prescriptive how-to, pooches of every size and temperament will learn to chase squirrels --and catch them! Old dogs may have trouble with new tricks, but now canine brainiacs can use the laws of physics to master their corner of the universe.

Expanded Description:
Today's canine faces many challenges. Their humans foil the best-laid plans to steal food, catch squirrels and drop the vacuum in its tracks. Now physics for Dogs helps them combine the science of mechanics with their well-bred instincts to achieve efficient and reliable results in every endeavor. (Also a sneaky way to teach physics to humans.)
