I love the essay "The Last Will and Testament of a Very Distinguished Dog," and I wish I could say that's what this book contains, but it doesn't. It doesn't say ANYWHERE on the book that the piece was heavily edited and I am sorry I spent money on it, thinking I was getting the unabridged version. If you wish to read the full, and much better, version, you can find it here: http://www.petloss.com/poems/maingrp/lastwill.htm
I didn't care for the illustrations either.
