The offending canines themselves share their stories of destruction, along with black and white photos. Meet Rita, the Airedale Terrier who ate through $1,000 worth of car upholstery; Cody, a Rottweiler with a dangerous fascination with Christmas lights; and Gracie, a dachshund with an appetite for jewelry. Every dog owner can relate to the writers' well-earned pride in their accomplishments and the damages incurred by their owners. These laugh-out-loud anecdotes showcase the antics of some truly mischievous dogs and the people who love them anyway.
