Walter the Farting Dog: A Triumphant Toot and Timeless Tale That's Touched Hearts for Decades--A laugh- out-loud funny picture book

Product Information

The books have been criticized by some as an example of "poop fiction" for children (in the same vein as titles such as Captain Underpants and Zombie Bums from Uranus); they have been subjected to occasional complaints and attempts to have the books withdrawn from libraries, and some librarians and bookstores have refused to carry the series. On the other hand, librarians (and others) have credited the books with effectively attracting young readers who might otherwise be hard to reach. [1] [7] [8] [9] [10] In addition, many copies have been sold to adults. [11] White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten reportedly kept the book in his office as a "conversation-starter". [12] From bloody poop to diarrhea — all your dog’s poop problems explained. Switch to a special diet for poor digestion. Thomas, Mike (May 16, 2004).

Macy, Beth (April 23, 2004). "Sweet Smell of Success". The Roanoke Times. Archived from the original on January 25, 2013. I admit it's a bit much at time. A dog that passes gas--often-- is the focus of an entire series of picture books. But I couldn't help but feature this one. I think Walter needs some more love. My boys love these books. (Walter is a close second to Llama Llama for my youngest.) This odd humor really appeals to them, which appeals to me. Anything to make them readers!

As much as we might hate to admit it (and smell it), dog farts are a normal biological function in dogs — and humans, let’s be honest. Farts are the natural result of the surprising amount of air that is swallowed just with the simple act of eating. We explore why dogs fart so much and whether there’s anything you can do to reduce the stink. Why does my dog fart so much? I must say that, unlike most reviewers, I did not find the story of this flatulent canine either endearing or evil. What fascinates me is that it has managed to become such a popular book as I personally found it rather bland and forgettable. The storytelling was not nearly as witty or humorous as it could have been, and the big climax was a bit far-fetched. I also didn't appreciate the message of feeding the dog anything (from cat food to junk food) to make it stop tooting. (Also, I did not like the illustrations one iota. Just not my style at all.) If there isn’t a severe medical issue causing your dog’s gas, your veterinarian might determine that your dog’s diet is the problem. When altering your dog’s diet, make changes to their food slowly. Some easy home remedies for gassy dogs to help reduce excessive dog farting include:

Is it normal for your dog to be farting so much? and what’s too much? Dog farts are a normal part of everyday life, but chronic flatulence and a house filled with stink aren’t the norm. If you notice a sudden increase in dog farts, or if your dog seems in pain, or they exhibit other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, or weight loss, consult with your veterinarian. What causes gas in dogs? The clown ends up being a bank robber who lies to Walter saying he is blowing up balloons for a good cause - children - but is really planning a bank heist. Walter is fed beans and his farts fill up the balloons with a gas that is unleashed during the heist on the unsuspecting bank customers.
