How to make peace when the pets in your marriage create tension.  For I Want To Kill The Dog.

Richard Cohen has a love-hate relationship with Jasper in his humorous new book, 'I Want to Kill the Dog.' — Corbis

Richard Cohen does not like his wife Meredith Vieira's dog, Jasper — and he's pretty sure Jasper's not a fan of him either. Don't take the title of his new book, I Want to Kill the Dog, too seriously, though: Cohen tells us he's not actually going to facilitate Jasper's demise. His tempestuous relationship with Jasper the Aussiepoo is the basis for a funny look at modern family life and the strong kinship dog owners develop with their four-legged companions.
