Awkward Family Pet Photos

Even the most " humor challenged" people I know can't keep from laughing as they look through this one. We keep a copy on our coffee table and somehow it manages to "migrate" to the night stands in guests' bedrooms or other areas of the house....even if they aren't animal lovers. The book is proof that people CAN be just as smitten with their pets as with any person they know. And the crazy photos attest to that.This is the kind of book that can liven up somber family gatherings or break the ice at parties. The kind of book where you can look at just one page at random - but I dare you to stop after looking at any one page. Impossible. To. Do.Some of the photos (an armful of chihuahuas) are almost too cute for words while others are just too...well...strange.....to seem believable...and also laugh out loud funny. Pity the poor guy whose cat went ballistic during a photo shoot and the picture that documented the whole thing. Or just laugh at him. Maybe he even submitted the photo himself...if the cat didn't.The photos show both people and their pets at their craziest...and often it is the people who appear totally nutty while their beloved pets (finally) get their just dues. There are some "behind the photo" explanations here and there,adding to the hilarity. From cats to pot-bellied pigs, there are all sorts of pets here, even a fair smattering of lizards, birds, and snakes. All steal the show. If you liked Awkward Family Photos you should add this to your collection.

...The title and cover photo pretty much sums this follow-up book perfectly....The original book was Awkward Family Photos, and it also describes the contents quite well. In that book, we were presented with lots of photos taken by amateurs and professional photographers of folks posing for holiday card photos, weddings, births, etc. It was thoroughly enjoyable and gave many chuckles at others expense....Awkward Family Pet Photos goes on to the next step, showing us what allegedly 'normal' people will do to their pets under the pretenses of photography.This book contains another collection of hilarious, sad, and bizarre photos of our 'best-friends' undergoing numerous humiliations by their human owners as they are dressed-up and posed in a variety of ways by amateurs and professional photographers. These long-suffering pets can at least use these photos for their lawsuits?...This book will make you laugh, make you go..."AW!"...and make you, hopefully, feel quite good about yourself by comparison to these pet owners. Leave this out on the coffee-table, and it will quarantee to start spirited conversations!

Doesn't take long to go through all the photos, but it'll definitely induce a few giggles here and there. Makes for a fun white elephant gift, and a quirky coffee table read. If you want to get a sense of its contents, just visit the blog this book was based on (awkwardfamilypetphotos.com).BE WARNED: some of the content is a little PG-13 (animals humping, a couple low-blow jokes), if you're concerned about exposing that stuff to your impressionable children. Though, a lot of it would probably go over their heads (like that sleeping puppy that looks like a...)

I bought this for a friend who suffered a great loss in her life and I thought she could get a giggle when she needed one. I have the original Awkward Family Photos book that makes my stomach and face hurt because I laugh so much. This one did not inspire that amount of joy...it is good but not as good as the original. I would stick with the original. She appreciated the gift and it is still funny...just not the kind of funny that makes you feel embarrassed about how hard you are laughing in front of other people.

Sent Awkward Family Photo series to all the funloving people on my list. Let's face it, if you aren't the Brady Bunch or The Nelsons, your family photos might qualify for this series. Any mixed group of people dressed the same are funny to start with. Add a pet and .....hilarious. But the love of these people also shines through, which elevates this series from just poking fun to a good holiday book.

Cute pictures of kids and entire families with their pets - not just their dog or cat either. Many are actually taken in studios! Captions are entertaining and not snarky. There is a section where pets were captured inadvertently, in the background, doing what comes naturally - so this part may not be for the kiddies. This was just a nice little book to enjoy while relaxing (for me). I look forward to going to their website in the future to see photos that didn't make "the cut" or maybe just not "the cut-off."

This book was funny but very old pics, could use some updating

The book cover was actually the only really funny and awkward photo in the whole book. Perhaps because of all the dogs and cats we've rescued over the past 43 years; I've become a bit jaded. Our house has been the site of some of the most comic antics by both dogs and cats. The photos in the book were very appealing and nice; but not hilarious or awkward.

I love [...] and this kind of book will always be hit and miss so you buy it knowing that there will be bits you don't find amusing. But I counted fewer than ten "hits" here. There's just not enough content in terms of awkward or amusing photos. The majority appear to be simply photos of people with their pets. That may be awkward in itself but it doesn't make a book. And of course, the front cover is by far the best photo.

Just for giggles. 3 of us have read it now at home. Will take it to work so everyone there can have a read too.

Bought for a friend's birthday present. Nicely presented, but to be honest most of the pictures weren't really that funny.

A gift for my daughter...and she was delightedHad many giggles over it. Arrived promptly and was well packaged .

This was just a little opener for my son, age 12 for Christmas, but it turned out to be the most used and fun present. he couldn't put it down and the whole family read it and we had a real laugh. great price for a lot of fun.
