How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is officially released tomorrow, because Tuesdays are New Book Days, but Amazon has been shipping them for a few days now, so it's very likely they are already appering "in the wild," as it were. So it seems like a good time to announce a new feature at dogphysics.com: The DogPhysics.com Pet Gallery, featuring photos of, well, pets with an interest in physics. And, more importantly, a copy of How to Teach Physics to Your Dog.
The Gallery currently contains just two pictures of dogs-- John Scalzi's Kodi, and the official dog of the Digital Cuttlefish, shown with the galley proof his owner won in the poetry contest:
No matter what Emmy may think, though, creatures other than dogs are capable of learning physics. So whatever sort of pets you favor-- fish, birds, hedgehogs, ferrets, even cats-- if you'd like your pet in the gallery, send an image file (preferably one scaled to 500 pixels wide) to queen_emmy@steelypips.org, and we'll add your pet to the Gallery. Even cats.

You should contact the owner of this dog--he's a promising student of physics, since it has already been experimentally established that he "knows" calculus.
