Author: Dave Jaffe

Humorist, writer, former Chicago reporter, multiple award-winning columnist Dave Jaffe has written for online media, print, television, and radio. Creative, clever, witty – these are traits that kept Dave in detention for most of the eighth grade. But as an adult these skills have led to award-winning books, columns and commentary. Dave’s work has appeared in a wide range of outlets, from HuffPost and HumorOutcasts to National Public Radio and The National Lampoon. He even wrote sketches for Bozo the Clown. (Who can forget the “Bozo Juggles Invisible Chainsaws” bit?) Dave’s books, Sleeping Between Giants, Book 1: Life, if you could call it that, with a Terrier and Sleeping between Giants, Book 2: Ask a Terrier—Professional Advice from a Licensed Dog, have been honored with the 2023 Best Indie Book Award for Humor, the 17th Annual National Indie Excellence® Awards for Animals & Pets, the 2021 International Book Awards for Humor, and Indies Today 2019 Best Humor Book Award.

In full-throated summer, colorful, chaotic farmers markets offer a hot weather oasis where you can shop for locally produced, organically grown corn while your dog is torn apart by vicious, unsupervised hellhounds. While such incidents […]

Ask a Terrier: Budleigh Reminds Vacationers, “Hey, Ya’ Got this Dog Here!”

July 5, 2018July 5, 2018 Dave Jaffe

A Quiet, Retiring Dog

May 10, 2018 Dave Jaffe
Retirement gifts for dogs, while heartfelt, can be impractical and even lead to neck strain.

How heart-warming when a professional dog can retire before she’s blown up. So many of us just settle for Medicare. After an eight-year career as a bomb-detecting dog at Chicago’s O’Hare and Midway airports, Lacy, […]

Dogs of a Feather

February 19, 2018 Dave Jaffe
Conflicting service animal guidelines and fluctuating baggage fees leave many dogs confused about their status.

On a commercial flight, the benefit of sitting next to a peacock outweighs the drawbacks. During a midair emergency I plan to grab anything with wings that might provides extra lift. PILOT: “Passengers, assume brace […]
