USA: Where Dogs Have More Rights Than You Do
Robert Okine
USA Where Dogs Have More Rights Than You Do
A hilarious and eye-opening tour of America’s states—one barking mad, bone-laced, paw-approved policy at a time.
In a country where dogs wear designer raincoats, attend therapy sessions, and sometimes enjoy better healthcare than humans, one outsider embarks on a state-by-state journey through America’s canine obsession.
From Alabama’s truck-riding hounds to Washington D.C.’s politically connected pups, this satirical travelogue explores a nation where dogs aren’t just pets—they’re privileged citizens with Instagram accounts, artisanal diets, and bedrooms in houses they didn’t help pay for.
With sharp wit and genuine affection, the author uncovers how America’s treatment of dogs reveals deeper truths about our values, regional quirks, and national identity. Whether it’s California’s canine movie stars, Colorado’s mountain-summiting mutts, or New York’s pampered pups with better real estate than most Millennials, these four-legged Americans live lives that would make most humans jealous.
Part cultural commentary, part loving mockery—and entirely entertaining—this cross-country romp proves that understanding America might be as simple as seeing who gets shotgun on the road trip.
Perfect for dog lovers, wanderlusters, and anyone curious why we treat our pets like royalty while barely managing our own lives.
“I didn’t grow up where dogs wore sweaters or had birthday cakes. Then I moved to America—and discovered fifty ways to treat a dog better than a person.”
Book 2 in the “USA The Land with At Least 50 Options” series.
