In honor of re-elected President Obama’s Inauguration Day, we are featuring a book by Chuck Sambuchino Red Dog Blue Dog (When Pooches Get Political).
This book is Golden Special as I am one of the dogs featured in the book.
Yes, I’m drooling … Golden Excited to check out the book and
Golden Curious which of my photo was featured.
I took a peak … but first Golden Thanks to Dakota‘s mom for providing us a copy.
(Our original copy is waiting for us in my hometown, Chitown).
You may wonder how my photo was selected to be in the book. Well, we received an email asking if we are interested in submitting a photo of ME doing a trick. That’s not hard cause I got several photos that involves a fun trick. However, there’s one fun trick photo that we posted and drew many readers in our blog. We got numerous permission requests to use the photo, as we are very selective we only allowed 2 sites to use the photo. Also early last year, we were informed by Mr. Sambuchino that my photo made the final publication of his book. If you’ve been following my blog, for sure you have some idea. Another clue, the photo involves some TREATS.
Of course there will be “No Trick If There’s No Treats.”
Before I show my photo in the book, I would like to tell you more about
Chuck Sambuchino’s Red Dog Blue Dog.
From the cover of the book it is obviously something to do with dogs. Yes, it involves 140 colored photos of dogs, taken mostly by their owners (no photoshop photos simply natural just like what we post on our blog posts). Photographs in the book are paired and Mr. Sambuchino adds a witty political caption on each photo. One dog represents Red and the other Blue. The captions are funny and it will make you laugh and smile. For example,
I was paired with a Pug with a caption of ” Red Dog is focused on balancing the budget.”
Me, Golden Retriever with a caption of ” Blue Dog is focused on balancing the biscuits.”
As a dog owner and political junkie, Mr. Sambuchino had a brilliant idea using dogs(pooches) in creating this book. It is a small book and a perfect gift for any dog-lover (who enjoys politics too). Also, a portion of the proceeds from Red Dog Blue Dog will be donated to no-kill shelters and rescue groups around the country. You can check it out at Mr. Sambuchino’s website. Politics is such a stressful topic, Red Dog Blue Dog will certain provide humorous relief.
That’s ME, page 125 Blue Dog, balancing TREATS.

Golden Thanks to Mr. Sambuchino.
I’m Golden Happy and Honored to be part of your Red Dog Blue Dog book.
Congratulations to our re-elected President Obama for his second term of office.
Looking forward to what he recently said “the best is yet to come.”
If I can concentrate and be serious in balancing a book on my head,
I believe Mr. Obama can balance the budget too.
I wish President Obama all the best of luck.
Just for FUN! and it’s merely a coincidence …
when I was playing last Saturday with my Air Dog Bone it sort of landed on my head.
If you are friends with me in FB, you might have seen a fuzzy photo.
My mom was able to take a photo from her iPhone.
Well, it made her think if I can actually balance my Air Dog bone toy on my head.
What do you you think?
Lots of Golden L♥VE n Woofs
SUGAR
