HOUNDED: Life Lessons from Three Dachshunds is a funny, bittersweet memoir of a flawed human being who's lucky to live with three adorable pets who teach him about snacking, sleeping and love.
Matt Ziselman grew up in Long Island, New York. By the time he was twenty-five, he had worked as a stock boy, cab driver, landscaper, movie theatre manager, nightclub promoter, garbage man, stagehand and other assorted, deeply unfulfilling occupations. In other words, Matt was destined for advertising. First as a copywriter, and later as a Creative Director, Matt has been involved in marketing some of the world's leading brands, where his work has won numerous industry awards. When he's not placed in the awkward position of having to refer to himself in the third person, Matt lives in New Jersey where he tries to keep three Dachshunds, a 12-year old daughter and one wife blissfully happy, but not necessarily in that order.
A lovely, lyrical reminder that dogs aren't simply our best friends, they're also our best teachers, if we're only wise enough to pay attention. Ziselman is equal parts John Grogan and Andy Rooney: Funny, cranky, wise and heartbreakingly human. I can't tell you how much I love this book! - Wade Rouse, Author of It's All Relative and I'm Not the Biggest Bitch in This RelationshipA delightful and fun romp. - The BarkSelf-described 'cranky' author Ziselman has learned a number of things from owning three dachshunds, which he imparts in this charming and funny memoir.... What...makes [Hounded] hard to put down is Ziselman's wonderfully sharp, witty voice. - BooklistUnlike most of the books in the crowded genre that explore how dogs show us how to recalibrate our overwrought and over-stimulated lives, Hounded veers off the well-trod main road to find the intersection where humor, poignancy, and insight meet. - AKC Family Dog Magazine
