Keystone Prairie Dogs, They're a Lot Like People

Nope, keystone prairie dogs can’t run for president, but this compilation of anthropomorphic (giving human characteristics to animals and inanimate objects) commentary, with pictures from Jean Williams’ fifteen year collection as a prairie dog rescue steward does give us a satirical hint of their suspected political insights.

This is the second in the three-part eBook series of jokes and parodies, but it will also include the “serious” message about the imperiled species, informative excerpts from scientists, how you can help, news and a list of important resources, which can be used as a prairie dog conservation guide. This series advocates for protection and conservation of all remaining prairie dog species in the wild and does not support having them sold or promoted as pets. Each booklet in the series has a “Keystones Don’t Always Make Good House Guests”, which highlights some of the challenges of prairie dogs in captivity.

Jean Williams is an environmental journalist and published author. She lives in a rural Seattle suburb and has had various environmental Op/Ed articles published online and in print newspaper publications across the country. Jean has advocated for the protection of black-tailed prairie dogs for a decade and has been a rescue home and foster parent to over 20 prairie dogs in the past 15 years. The pictures used in her series of humorous eBooks were compiled from her own collection,
