“Over-the-top and hilarious.” —Barkpost

Based on the Twitter and Instagram sensation, #WeRateDogs features the most heroic, over-the-top adorable, wildly successful, all-around entertaining dogs the world has ever seen! It combines extraordinary photos with ridiculous captions to expand the knowledge and overall lives of its readers. It is not only an exceptionally reliable source for dog greatness, it is also a one stop shop for happiness.

This book takes readers on a journey through the strict science of dog rating and the unwavering rules associated with it. Questioning the accuracy of these ratings is ill-advised. They are certainly not arbitrary and this book is absolutely not just about how cute dogs are. It truly is all about precision and ethics in dog rating.

The #WeRateDogs book will produce an audible reaction with every flip of the page—whether a groan from a terrible pupper pun or an “aww” of seeing a super floofer. If #WeRateDogs takes you away from reality and pushes you into this conglomerate of absurdity for even a second, then it has fulfilled its purpose.

Matt Nelson was called "the Internet's most famous dog rater" by the Washington Post. His success with WeRateDogs™ has been documented in Esquire, NY Mag, Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Daily Mail, People magazine, Study Breaks, and many more. The Washington Post called him “the Internet’s most famous dog rater.” Nelson accumulated millions of followers across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat in less than a year by showcasing user-submitted dog media attached to his trademark caption style, and has since grown to over four million combined followers. He resides in Charleston, West Virginia.
