Summary: The Pekinese who Commands Respect
Comment: Have you ever wondered what your dog might really be thinking about? Well Sir Addison Silber Howell, Esq. in "The Pekinese Who Saved Civilization," is about to tell you! Now he might not be able to write per se, but his words, thoughts and philosophy have been captured by his head servant/slave, Trisha Adelena Howell, so that all of us mere humans may benefit from his wise words.

You see, the self-knighted Sir Addison is a "thinking dog," and therefore naturally superior to mortals and other animal species alike. From poet and sculptor to literary genius, philosopher and psychoanalyst, Sir Addison shares his view of the world and tells us, precisely, why we should be eternally grateful not only to him, but also to GOD - the "Great Omniscient Dog (spirit).

Apparently, despite claims by many that we humans are on a path to self-destruction, Sir Addison very kindly takes us by the hand (paw?) and reveals the true history of the world. With his canine knowledge, we can solve many of our problems and thus save civilization.

Sir Addison is a proud Pekinese indeed, but his logic and quirky nature binds us to him instantly. Prepare to eat a great deal of humble pie as he points out our faults, but he points them out so eloquently that dog-lovers everywhere will do the very thing that Addison wishes - listen!

In a world where society in general seeks to find answers, to the point where we question the questions, Sir Addison's theories are simple and often motivating. Urging us to understanding, his theories are wonderfully displayed and modeled with accompanying black and white photographs that display his talents to the fullest.

Sir Addison commands reverence and respect at all times as we progress through the book, but seeing as he's sharing such knowledge and wisdom with us, we are compelled to bow at every stage, and as we nod our heads in agreement with the wise words displayed before us, we will lament loudly and ask ourselves, "Now why didn't I think of that?" Addison's words themselves will tell us why:

"...Because you are so cut off from your own bodily rhythms and true feelings. It's amazing to me how many of you humans are out of touch with your true needs, desires, goals and genital odors."

Hail Sir Addision...where have you been all of our lives? Funny, inspirational and delightful Sir! Dog-owners everywhere will applaud you!

Summary: Excellent book!
Comment: THE PEKINESE WHO SAVED CIVILIZATION is described as telling the true history of the world, but from a canine's point of view. The dog's name is Addison. First, he opens the book with inspiring words of wisdom. His comments are surreal. He knows his stuff. Addison could successfully organize a support group. Addison could run for Mayor of his town! Heck, Addison could be our next President!

After wonderful words from such an adorable speaker, he then continues by taking on many roles as he saves civilization.

Addison the Impersonator gives a comical impersonation of Albert Einstein and the Sphinx, while Addison the Snowshoer shows style and sophistication while climbing a dangerous mountain. Addison has it all.

Get a copy of THE PEKINESE WHO SAVED CIVILIZATION, due out September 15, 2003, and join Addison on his global adventures. You will enjoy learning of how he would solve planetary dilemmas such as love troubles, drugs and alcohol addictions, food shortages, religion controversies, and much more.

Summary: A clever refreshing approach to a commentary on every issue
Comment: The Pekinese Who Saved Civilization is a clever refreshing approach to a commentary on every issue thinkable. Sir Addison Silber Howell Esquire is an aging toothless Pekinese who believes "a whole race who can't even get the basics of food, rest and shelter right is in big trouble and desperately in need of my help". Addison, while referring to his owner as his personal slave, enthusiastically froths with joy while telling his perspective on solving personal and global problems. He candidly shares his ideology, assessments and philosophy about careers, money, sports, military, taxes, sex, drugs and more.

Sir Addison describes exercise as "Baloney". He states "Exercise is a completely useless activity that needlessly takes me away from eating". Addison describes his relationships with witty charm flanked by lampoonery. This perspective, told from the Pekinese's point of view, tackles serious issues head on while keeping the humor in tow.

There are numerous pictures of Addison displaying different behaviors and actions. Addison does possess a face that reaches out and tugs on the heartstrings. The book offers an energetic pace reminding us to rise above the details of the day. If you are a Pekinese lover, a political satire admirer or enjoy an entertaining unconventional bold kind of read you must have this book. Hilariously potent.
