Walter the Farting Dog
''Walter the Farting Dog'' is the titular character and a series of children's books written by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray, and illustrated by Audrey Colman. The first book was published in 2001. By 2011, the first book had reported sales of more than 1.4 million hardcover copies, and the series had grown to five titles.〔Rocco Staino, ("'Walter the Farting Dog' Turns 10" ). ''School Library Journal'', September 1, 2011.〕
==Publishing history==
Kotzwinkle and Murray conceived the idea for the first book in 1990, inspired by a real-life dog named Walter, whose owner fed him doughnuts and beer and who was prone to foul-smelling flatulence. With assistance from Kotzwinkle's wife, Elizabeth Gundy, they devised a story about a dog who overcomes two burglars with his smelly farts. Eleven years passed before they found a willing publisher, North Atlantic Books, and the right illustrator, Audrey Colman. The book was a success and reached the top of ''The New York Times'' children's best seller list. Beginning with the second book, the series has been published by Penguin Books, and Gundy began receiving credit with the third book.〔Cecelia Goodnow, ("Co-author of popular 'Walter the Farting Dog' comes to town" ), ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer'', May 20, 2005.〕〔Mike Thomas, "(The not-so-sweet smell of success 'Walter' authors gas on about flatulent canine with new sequel, and readers can't get enough. )" ''Chicago Sun-Times'', May 16, 2004. 〕
In 2008 it was reported that plans were underway to develop the series as a movie project for the Jonas Brothers.〔Michael Fleming, ("Jonas Bros. whiff Fox's 'Farting Dog': Disney rockers to make feature starring debut." ) ''Variety'', October 27, 2008.〕〔John Scott Lewinski, ("Farting Dog Blasts Way to Big Screen" ), ''Wired'', October 28, 2008.〕 As of summer 2011, the Jonas Brothers were no longer attached, and Tim Hill was in discussions to direct the film for producers Mary Parent and the Farrelly Brothers.〔Jay A. Fernandez, ("'Hop' Director Tim Hill in Talks to Direct 'Walter the Farting Dog'" ). ''Hollywood Reporter'', August 5, 2011.〕
