After more than 82 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, Walter is as flatulent as ever.

Which is good news for Glenn Murray, co-author of "Walter the Farting Dog" and an ever-expanding line of "cutting-edge" picture-book sequels that have captivated little boys and proper grandmas alike.

"There seems to be no limit," Murray says, "to what you can do with an imaginary farting dog."

I hate bathroom humor. Please take it elsewhere. Thanks.

If farting is bathroom humor, why is it that everyone laughs when it's done OUTSIDE of the bathroom?

I gave this book to my daughter last Christmas. Pretty funny, actually. He's kind of like our dog.

"Walter the Farting Dog". "Captain Underpants". You don't need a good story just a good title and pre-teen boys will snap it up.

Fart is a very respectable word.

I’m lucky. My little dog – a Pomeranian – does not fart in the apartment. Shortly after we took him in he was on the bed with us playing and having a good time.
He cut one that would have made a Good Ole Boy Redneck proud.
Sheryl was trapped near the wall and couldn’t escape. I made it out into the hall.
When Sheryl got to where she could talk again she cussed that little dog like a sailor. She threatened. She promised. She ranted and raved.
The Boogie Dog took it to heart. If he does fart inside, he leaves the room for a far corner away from people.

The only good thing about a farting dog is you can blame him for it when it wasn't his. My father always blamed the dog when he died his lost his scape goat.

We frequently ask our dog to take it elsewhere.

This is actually a two-month old story that was originally published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
