HOW TO RAISE A JEWISH DOG by Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman
January 21, 2008
This book was way too funny! HOW TO RAISE A JEWISH DOG is a manual that teaches us all how to raise our dogs Jewish. In Chapter 1, the age-old question is brought up:
"Why is a Jewish Dog different from all other dogs? A Jewish dog has three important traits that an ordinary dog doesn't have: an exaggerated sense of his own wonderfulness, an exaggerated sense of his own shortcomings, and an extremely close relationship with his master."
This is a good indication of what the book is like, and for those who can't see the humor in this, then maybe this isn't the book for you. Filled with photographs and charts, it's a how-to for those who want to raise their dogs Jewish. I also discovered after reading this book that I'm definitely a Jewish woman -wanna be. Very scary, how much my behavior matched those depicted in the book. (My own conversations with Alice our cat, as I go on and on asking her, "Why you do this to me? Why? What did I do to you to make you behave this way?" is a clear-cut example of my Jewishness).
I'm definitely recommending this book to those who can appreciate the humor. It certainly made my day.

My daughter, who has dogs (her husband trains dogs) was feeling depressed because they had just moved to another state and her responsibilities were piling up. I wanted to raise her spirits, and somehow, things always sound funnier in Yiddish. The book did the trick. Thanks Amazon!
How to Raise a Jewish Dog December 13, 2007

I laughed and laughed as I read this. My wonderful husband is a lovely Jewish man and we have fabulous Jewish friends who all have dogs. They also share amusing stories of being brought up in their Jewish families that bear a striking resemblance to the training techniques of how to go about raising a Jewish dog. One of our Jewish friends sent us this book. I had my doubts when I saw the title - figured it would be cute for a page or two and then get old. That was certainly not the case. I was unable to put it down until I finished it, and just ordered four copies to share with our friends. A delightful book!!!!!

This book made me laugh on almost every page. And it reminded me of several of my friends and the way they raise their dogs. Unlike the way I raise my dogs, who are the most brilliant, obedient, well-behaved companions you would ever want to sit next to in a Paris cafe -- although, to be honest, they could often use a breath mint.
