Alien Professor Xargle teaches his class of extraterrestrials about the quirky behavior of a favorite earth animal "Good morning, class. Today we are going to learn about Earth Hounds.

Review
"Ross complements the professor's disquisition with his usual coterie of gleeful, popeyed children and harassed adults, struggling doggedly to cope with their pets' exuberance. Madcap fun." School Library Journal

Dr. Xargle is instructing his class of small fellow aliens on the nature and habits of the earth creatures known to us as dogs. This allows a certain zany perspective on them that will strike a chord with anyone in close relationship with these furry individuals.
