Walter the Farting Dog

Spoiler alert, the following article refers to a certain bodily function that when discussed publicly OFFENDS many people. Read at your own risk! 

The real disclaimer!!! My wife counseled me about writing this as she feels this subject should be discussed privately. She is mortified. 

I come from a family of farters. Both my mom and my dad had a lifelong issue with gas. I must admit that my father could have been an Olympic competitor, my mom not so much. I follow my father’s example. 

The Walter books were brought to my attention by a close friend, Camy whose name has been changed to protect her identity. What really hooked me personally is that Walter the Farting Dog books had achieved cult status and were listed on the New York Times best sellers list.  

In the first book, Walter, who has been rescued by kids comes home with them. He arrives with a large bag of low fart dog treats. The treats do not work, and the parents decide to return Walter in the morning.

During his first night at home two robbers break into the house. Yup, Walter’s gas overcomes them, and he saves the day. He becomes a permanent member of the family and the protagonist in four additional books. 

There are five books in the series and a cute plush animal to represent Walter.

If you have not had enough information on farting, read about some other famous farters.
