These are not the dogs that are typically celebrated in dog booksthose focus on the most popular purebreds: Labrador retrievers, Jack Russells, German shepherds Dalmatians. But where are the other breeds? And where are the non-breeds that make up more than half of the U.S. dog population, the mutts? Where is their book? If Americans love anything, its the underdogevery kind of underdog, whether its a dog or not. We recognize that beauty is more than skin deepor fur deep. We appreciate dogs of indeterminate lineage, with mottled fur, too-large ears, or strange little bodies; we love dogs who look like impish little children or grumpy old men.

Underdogs is a charming, touching, and occasionally hilarious look at what we really love about dogsthe true companionship that comes from great character.
