Hi. I'm Bella. I'm a Shih Tzu. This book is all about my first year from the day I was born to my first birthday. I wrote it with Dad. Well, he did the writing but I supervised. I'm not good at holding pens, I'm better at eating them. This book is all about my adventures in my first year - the good and the bad. The best thing that happened to me was meeting my new Mum and Dad. They are kind, provide a good home and give me lots of love. A little dog couldn't wish for more. In return, I shred their mail, dig up the flowers and bark at everything, especially cats, pigeons and ghosts. I'm Head of Security for the house, so it's my job to keep the place safe, so I have to keep my eyes and ears open at all times (unless I'm upside down asleep, which is a lot). I don't trust our postman. He keeps pushing random bits of paper through our letterbox, none of which I've asked for. It takes me ages to open everything to make sure it's safe for Mum and Dad. I bet he wouldn't like it if I pushed things through his letterbox. You can read the first three chapters of my book, for free, at www.diaryofalittledog.com and you can contact Dad at www.martinharris10.com. Thanks for reading. @bellalittledog

Tobe Hooper''s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre premiered in October 1974, mere weeks after the resignation and pardon of Richard Nixon. The film had been conceived, written, shot, edited, and produced precisely as Watergate was playing out, and those responsible for Chain Saw unhesitatingly spoke of the horrors of contemporary politics as having directly inspired the ones they created for the film. Leatherface vs. Tricky Dick presents a fascinating minute-by-minute exploration of the many uncanny connections between The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Watergate, as well as other ways the film comments on contemporary politics via satire and dark humour.
