New Book Gives Man's Devotion to Dog An Official Name: "Dogtology"

IRVINE, Calif., June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dog-lovers unite!

You finally have a name to make you proud. You can say you're a believer in "Dogtology."

That's the name author Jeff Lazarus once gave to a blind date when asked about his particular religion. Lazarus' new book, DOGTOLOGY (Greenleaf Press) is a tongue-in-cheek "bible" that celebrates "the belief in Dog" and encourages the faithful to "Live. Bark. Believe.". 

Here are some of the signs you just might be a "Dogtologist":

• You happily purchase expensive "gourmet" treats such as "pupcakes" and "tail mix bars" for your hound while you're livin' on ramen noodles
• You give holiday gifts to and from your dog -- and spend more time getting them exactly right than you do on your gifts for humans.
• You relentlessly e-mail, Facebook post, and "pin" dog photos, dog-toons, dog videos and send dog PowerPoint slideshows to everyone on your contacts list regardless of the thundering silence and lack of "likes" you receive in response.
• Your dog groomer knows that the concept of "drop the dog off' does not apply to you, and you are allowed to wait in the staff lounge where you are given status reports every 15 minutes.
• You understand the sole purpose for which cell-phone cameras were invented: to capture cunning and hilarious shots of dogs behind the steering wheels of cars ... wearing sunglasses ... and outfitted in their finest Scottish beanies.

Lazarus will say that being a Dogtologist is perfectly OK as he provides lots of great stuff to "chew on" about the man-dog relationship.

The idea for Dogtology was inspired by Lazarus' dog Roamy, a stray he adopted who became his confidant, refuge, sanity and partner in crime. Dogtology: Live. Bark. Believe is a humorous exploration of the Man/Canine relationship, and understanding who the Master really is.
