	Emily Yoffe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emily Yoffe is a journalist, a regular contributor to Slate magazine and the NPR radio show Day to Day.
		In June 2005 Bloomsbury published Yoffe's "What the Dog Did: Tales from a Formerly Reluctant Dog Owner," a comic memoir of life with her neurotic beagle, and an offbeat exploration of the dog world.
		In February 2006, Yoffe took over Slate's Dear Prudence advice column, after Margo Howard departed to be a columnist at Yahoo!

		Emily Yoffe never thought she'd find herself extracting her bra strap from a dog's rear end; in fact, she never thought she'd have a dog at all.
		This cat devotee was in for some unexpected surprises when she took in a neurotic rescued beagle named Sasha to satisfy her daughter's desire for a dog.
		The transformation begins with consternation and culminates with real affection: she becomes a foster mother to a series of homeless beagles; she studies (without success) to be a pet psychic; she visits the Department of Homeland Security to watch sausage- and incendiary device-sniffing canines in action.

	The dog daze of a real wag -- Newsday.com
		Emily Yoffe finds herself in a place suffused with anarchy, stomach-clutching fear and the smell of sewage everywhere she turns.
		Yoffe seeks a remedy in expensive canine psychiatric care, figuring that "we'd be spending a lot more than that if our home was declared a Superfund site by the EPA." Alas, she discovers that Prozac has a rare side effect: explosive diarrhea.
		Yoffe has long been one of the little-known treasures of American journalism - a comic virtuoso who is willing to endure any indignity if it will leave the reader weeping with laughter.

		Slate has a recurring feature in which Emily Yoffe does some outlandish, embarrassing, difficult, or unusual thing and reports back on her experiences.
		Yoffe (who is one of my favorites, by the way) doing something so outlandishly strange that I’m sure very few of Slate’s solidly blue readers have tried it: target shooting.
		Yoffe, and most likely for the majority of her readers, guns are utterly alien, something out of movies.

	What the Dog Did : Tales from a Formerly Reluctant Dog Owner by Emily Yoffe - Direct Textbook Details and Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Yoffe manages to be both nose-drippingly funny and unflinchingly straight at the same time--even while laughing so hard I had to blow my nose at the parade of animals who would NOT be housebroken in her house, internally I was processing that I'm NOT willing to have an unhousebreakble dog--not matter how pretty she is!
		Each of the challenges that she faced with Sasha was presented in the same side-splittingly funny, yet undeniably real voice that forced me, as a potential dog-mom, to honestly consider whether the problem I was laughing at was in fact something I was willing to live with.
		I'm a fan the writing Yoffe does for Slate, but she needs to either do some serious reading about animals (or, heck, just become a regular Animal Planet viewer) or give up writing about them.

	CityDog Magazine Book Reviews
		Emily Yoffe’s “What The Dog Did” is the entertaining tale of the author’s evolution from dog-owner-only-under-duress to bona fide “dogist.” Giving in to her six-year-old’s pleas for a pup, Yoffe adopts Sasha, a stray beagle with enough quirks and behavior issues to make even the most devoted dog fanatic consider a Fido-free life.
		Yoffe is an admitted dog novice, so of course Sasha delivers on every beagle bad habit known to man: using the living room as her toilet, resisting all efforts at obedience training, and taking every opportunity to escape the confines of house, yard and leash.
		Yoffe digs in with admirable determination to help Sasha learn the ropes of canine comportment.

		Yielding to immense pressure from her husband and young daughter, Yoffe finds herself the main caretaker of a rather high-maintenance, rescued beagle, Sasha.
		Yoffe relates amusing tales of bodily functions gone awry and house-training incidents (beagles are notorious for having difficulty in this area), as well as vivid recollections of Sasha's behavioral training.

		What's more, after adjusting to their own beagle, Yoffe and her family agreed to take in foster dogs.
		Those funny stories, mixed with interesting side trips into canine history and lore, make her book a good read for all dog lovers, not just beagle people.

		Best of all is Sasha's miraculous metamorphosis from a hopelessly phobic rescue case to a happily adjusted member of the Yoffe household.
