Death by Pet: A Hilarious History of Misguided Pets

by Cider Mill Press Author and Rebecca Pry Illustrator

In this book, the reader will discover the most amusing (and unfortunate) pet selections that resulted in unfortunate outcomes. They’ll learn about people that met their demise in peculiar ways, such as being killed by a cassowary, run through by a red deer, and hacked down by a once-cuddly hippo named Humphrey. While we adore animals, some choices are better left in their natural habitats. Explore these regrettable pet choices and their hilarious endings through playful illustrations that transform these unfortunate pets into amusing anecdotes, perfect for fans of dark humor. Humorous language and witty asides ensure that each profile remains lighthearted. From wolves to wildebeests, camels to cats, discover why it’s sometimes wiser to choose a pet rock over a furry companion.
