Hallelujah, Hallelujah! The canon has been extended. The Wonder Dog's sage advice is out in a second volume. Rumors of a Herr Gutenberg preparing a German edition of Der Wunderhund are greatly exaggerated, but you never know.

So if you are a regular reader of The Panama News fun section, have you seen all of this before?

Not really. You may have read a lot of the advice columns, but you haven't seen any of the beautiful illustrations.

Edited by a retired schoolteacher, this book is pure entertainment for readers of all ages, but a particularly good Christmas present for the kid who is just a bit beyond the beginning reader stage whom you want to both challenge and convince of that most important notion that READING IS FUN.

And like Condorito played an important role at a certain point in my studies of Spanish as a second language, In Dog We Trust can be similarly useful for those of you who are still perfecting English as a second language.

This, however, is neither a children's book nor a text. It's a SACRED SCRIPTURE. You'd better believe!

Down on your knees, now --- your personal Wonder Dog needs to get those ears scritched!
