Quietly changing the world, one book at a time.
The Second–Smartest Dog That Ever Lived is a novel about intelligence, escape, and the absurdity of human society—told by a dog who might be smarter than us all, and a Pug who definitely isn’t.
It’s sharp, strange, and unexpectedly moving.
“Pass masterfully blends humor, heart, and peril in this anthropomorphic tale, making it an unforgettable read.”
— Southwest Books of the Year, 2025
