Porch Dogs: The Unmuzzled Truth About Men and Our Relationships with Them (Paperback)

Porch Dogs: The Unmuzzled Truth About Men and Our Relationships with Them

Product Description

Move over Dr. Phil! In her remarkably funny new book, Relationship Strategist, Georgia Sullivan, guides women through a step-by-step plan to improve their relationships by comparing men to breeds of dogs. In the process, she helps men by giving them a way to defend themselves from the women in their lives who are trying so hard to change them.

To find out whether he?s a Lab or a Lapdog, and whether she?d be better off with a Boxer or a Beagle, readers first take the PORCH DOGS Quiz, a personality test available in the book. According to their quiz results, Georgia Sullivan offers sage relationship advice to guide both men and women toward happiness and contentment. Written with tongue-in-cheek candor, Sullivan deftly lays out the traits for each man/dog type and follows up with sections dedicated to the head, heart, family and work qualities for each.
