''How To Teach Physics To Your Dog'' is a pop-science book by blogger [[http://scienceblogs.com/principles/ Chad Orzel]], which explains quantum physics through a series of dialogues between the author and his dog Emmy. Yes, it's as funny as it sounds.

!!This work contains examples of:
* AdaptationExpansion: The book started out as a [[http://crisper.livejournal.com/26562.html Rabbit Hole Day]] blog post.
* AuthorAvatar: The author is one of the two major characters in the dialogues.
* TheDitz: Emmy, who goes looking for steak from alternate universes, waits for bunnies made of cheese to spontaneously appear in her backyard, and can be distracted from anything with a simple, "Look! A squirrel!"
* HonestJohnsDealership: The evil squirrels selling zero-point energy generators and "enhanced water".
* InstructionalDialogue: Between the author and Emmy.
* MrExposition: The AuthorAvatar naturally assumes this role.
* ShoutOut
** To ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': The phrase "because of Quantum" pops up occasionally, as does the idea that Schrodinger's cat has three possible states: Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
** To ''Franchise/StarTrek'': The evil alternate-universe squirrels feel the need to wear fake goatees; also, the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' transporter gets constantly name-checked in the quantum teleportation chapter.
** To ''GodelEscherBach'', or possibly to Zen Buddhism in general: Emmy [[RunningGag constantly]] insists that [[IceCreamKoan she has Buddha-nature]].
* TalkingAnimal: Emmy.
* TheWatson: Emmy again.
