"Hollywood Barks!" supports dogs in need through Happy Tails Books

"Hollywood Barks!" gives readers a unique opportunity to peek behind the camera into the real life of Hollywood dogs. This humorous account tells of revered studio wrangler Kathryn Segura’s experience training dogs for television, print, and movies, such as "Indecent Proposal" and "There’s Something About Mary." From a brief history of dogs in Hollywood to the do’s and don’ts of set etiquette, readers are taken on a journey so vivid they will feel as if they were working on the set themselves. Each chapter is accompanied by a lesson for a trick or behavior readers can try with their dogs.
