"Rick Perry's blue jeans are so tight he needs a boyfriend." —Mr. Darby"Sorry, Dada. I just did a poo on your million-dollar Persian rug." —Mr. Darby"Get off your big butt and let's go for a longer walk." —Mr. Darby"Two-leggeds are selfish, greedy and a bunch of big ole crybabies." —Mr. Darby"Rick Santorum is a dictator who thinks he's the Pope." —Mr. Darby
Mr. Darby, a 3-year-old Wire Fox Terrier and intuitive healer from Sedona, Arizona, told his Daddy he wanted to write a book about how a four-legged animal sees the two-legged world. From politics to religion to some of the culture's silly characters—like Charlie Sheen—and the nominees running to be the Republican candidate for President, Mr. Darby has a definite spin on who we are as a people who say and do a lot of stupid things.
When his published Daddy and Mr. Darby began to read one another's mind, the dog barked a solid condition for writing: "Dada, you will write what I tell you to write or there will be no book!"
Not only do humans get a rough ride from this terrier from a long line of champions, he roughs up his owner, whom he calls Il mio papa, Il principe, Dada and Daddy and a few less flattering names.
