The Word of Dog The Universe: What It Is and What to Do about It

Please note: you probably need an IQ of at least 120 and a casual interest in science to enjoy this book!
Sometimes it's not always easy being a dog, especially when you've written a book that balances humour with the most avant-garde aspects of quantum theory to reconcile science and religion, shed additional light on what happens when pets and people die, and confine conflict and war to the realms of ancient history. Alas, due to the infallibilities of human nature, it may nevertheless be a few years before the whole world learns to live in perfect harmony. By all means make up your own mind though!

Full blurb (as written by Max Merrybear)

Using an informal conversational style and illustrated with very simple examples that the reader can model on their own kitchen table with everyday items if they wish, The Word of Dog juxtaposes humour with the most avent garde aspects of quantum theory to reconcile science and religion. Conflict and war therefore become otiose. Alas, due to the infallibilities of human nature, I suspect that it may nevertheless be a few years before the whole world learns to live in perfect harmony. Possibly even a whole decade. For some of us that's a lifetime.

Conceptually the work sits alongside A Brief History of Time (Stephen Hawking) and The Bible (various writers, prophets and translators, one attested copyright holder), as despite the somewhat imprecise and sometimes conflicting nature of each, The Word of Dog will now allow them to occupy the same virtual shelf space in perfect harmony.

The Word of Dog is actually a serious work of philosophical canine quantum theology that proves once and for all, beyond any shadow of a doubt, exactly what the universe (omniverse) is, how and why it got here, and what we (mainly humans and dogs but to a lesser extent other species as well) should do about it.

For those able to fully understand, great comfort may be derived from the discussions on Guardian Angel Bears (and other Guardian Angels) - essentially a grown-up scientific version of the concept of Rainbow Bridge.

Additionally, in what scholars might well infer is a corrupted homage to the somewhat less literary yet nevertheless splendid work The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the second half of The Word of Dog goes on to include detailed answers to the forty-two most important questions ever asked, the corruption being of course that 'forty-two' wasn't actually the answer being sought but rather in this case the number of questions that needed answering, questions such as 'Am I Going to Live Forever?', 'What happens after death?', 'Satan: is he all bad?' and 'I've built myself a flying saucer out of wattle and daub, yet I am unable to fly it as I have no engine. Can you help?' (I can and I do, as well as incorporating some radical yet undisputable new thinking to prove the existence of Father Christmas and explain his modus operandi.)

I would like to stress that this is a carefully considered and reasoned yet accessible intellectual work, rather than a trite excuse to joke about burying bones and humping vicars' legs. OK, technically there is one small reference to a bone burial. Maybe two. And there's a bishop. Well, two bishops and a rector. And it's the rector's bone that gets buried. But none of them get their legs violated. Although now that I mention it, it is the rector's fibula (calf bone) that gets buried, and it is violated a little bit, but not coitally. That much, I promise.
