Introduction

(A charming and hilarious New York Times bestseller about the enduring wisdom of dogs, from the host of the enormously popular National Dog Show

It�'s Okay to Miss the Bed on the First Jump is more than a mere celebration of man�'s best friend. In this lighthearted exploration of how and why dogs serve as some of our most valuable and enlightened teachers, well-known and well-loved actor/show host John O�'Hurley shares lessons learned from his life with canine companions, including:
�•Every 15 Minutes Is a New Day
�•Never Miss a Nap
�•When One Person Stops Petting You, Move On
�•A Cold Can of Meat Is Still a Feast
�•You�'re Only as Big as You Think You Are

�“Dogs, after all, have pure hearts, trusting natures, a zest for living, noble characters, and an ability to take things in stride,�” writes O�'Hurley in the book�'s introduction. �“They can be counted on, and are pleasant companions. They know what's important, always. How many humans do you know about which you could say the same?�”

At once poignantly moving and laugh-out-loud funny, It�'s Okay to Miss the Bed on the First Jump is a must read for dog lovers everywhere.
