Dogfight at the Pentagon: Sergeant Dogs, Grumpy Cats, Wallflower Wingmen, and Other Lunacy from the Wall Street Journal’s A-Hed Column
Wall Street Journal
Discover the story behind these and more in this delightful collection of the wild, the weird, and the wonderful, culled from The Wall Street Journal’s popular and long-standing A-Hed column.
One of the The Wall Street Journal’s most popular features for more than seventy years, the daily A-Hed column-named for a headline that looked like a letter A-has diverted readers from the more glum news of war, economic woe, natural disasters, and man-made malfeasance. Covering a wide range of lunacy and the unusual from across the nation and the world, the A-Hed continues to enchant longtime readers.
Now, the best A-Hed stories from recent years have been bundled into this entertaining volume. There are romantic tales, including the Japanese infidelity phone (it keeps trysts secret) and the story of wingmen and wingwomen who escort wallflowers to nightspots and maneuver them into the arms of prospective catches. Lovers of dogs, cats, and fish will learn how a Marine Corps bulldog got promoted to sergeant, how a grumpy cat acquired a Hollywood agent, and will be left wondering if a sixty-three-pound carp named Benson died of natural causes in England-or was the victim of foul play. Funny, moving, and charming, these stories will make you laugh and keep you entertained.
