When Hack heard that a pug named Vito had won the 2024 National Dog Show, he penned this novel to rub it in the face of his cover artist Jonny M. and his pug Boris. When presented the manuscript, Jonny just told him that every dog owner knew that their dog was the best dog (and they were all right about it) and Boris just peed on Hack’s shoes, sending him on s drunken bender that ended with him in county lockup for ninety days. It was all business as usual.
