From the delightfully skewed mind behind Bitch Unleashed!

Treat yourself to this year’s wildest read for domestic animal lovers. From Utah’s Best Friends Sanctuary (Nat Geo’s ‘Dogtown’) to the temples of Northern Thailand, Kelsey’s knack for recounting uproarious yet bizarrely educational tales offers readers an outrageously fresh perspective on the world of animal rescue and a life spent among man’s best friends.

Caution! This is not your grandmother’s collection of warm, fuzzy, shelter dog tales for the soul. Kelsey’s satirical wit delivers a wildly irreverent bite to your funny-bone and won’t let go!

Kudos for Dogs: Funny Side Up!

“Delightful! Worldly insightful! . . . Nola Lee Kelsey, a consummate writer who knows her stuff, has a quick mind and sharp wit, and it's not all about dogs.”

—Kaye Trout Book Reviews

“Nola Kelsey has dog-gone done it again! ‘Dogs: Funny Side Up!’ offers the plight of animal rescue organizations throughout the world delivered by the author’s trademark infectious wit and explosive candor. Kelsey’s personal stories of her adopted dogs and her work as a rescuer blend funny with fury, heart-warming and humorous yet also eye-opening for readers as they discover the emotional and difficult work of rescue organizations. Kelsey proves that her bark is just as potent as her bite.”

—Joseph O. Patton, Publisher, Capital City Free Press

Zoologist Nola Lee Kelsey has written a myriad of books. From '700 Places to Volunteer Before You Die' and the 'Animal Addict's Guide to Global Volunteer Travel' to the children’s photo book 'Let's Go Visit Best Friends Animal Sanctuary' animals and/or travel are always the prevailing theme.

Over the past two decades Kelsey has worked as a Dog Caregiver for Best Friends Animal Society (Nat Geo’s Dogtown), a Reptile Keeper, a Marine Park Trainer, and a Wildlife Rehabilitator. She’s also a self-confessed serial volunteer for global animal rescue organizations. As she’s meandered the planet, her humor articles have appeared in publications from Reptiles Magazine to The Bangkok Post.
