 So did the cover catch your eye? What were you thinking Dog on the Roof was about? Here's the subtitle for another clue - On the Road with Mitt and the Mutt.....yes, political satire never goes out of style!
From the publisher Touchstone:
"They were the typical American family on a typical American road trip—Dad  behind the wheel, Mom in the passenger seat, their five adorable kids piled in  the back. And, of course, their beloved dog strapped to the roof.  
Wait . . . what?  
Now for the first time, here is the completely true—and only mildly  embellished— shaggy-dog story of Seamus Romney, the famously fetching Irish  setter whose master, future presidential candidate Mitt Romney, plopped him atop  the family station wagon for that infamous 1983 car trip. From the majesty of  Mount Rushmore to the fabulousness of San Francisco, from the sacred temple of  Salt Lake City to the hallowed halls of Washington, D.C., here at last is  Seamus’s rooftop account of that headline-grabbing journey . . .  unleashed.  
Doggedly chronicled by satirists Bruce Kluger and David Slavin (NPR’s  All Things Considered), and cleverly illustrated by Colleen Clapp (The  Chris Matthews Show, NBC News), this American tale is more than just the  story of a dog on a hot tin roof. It is the inside (well . . . overhead) look at  the Man Who Would Be President and the wild ride that’s sweeping—and  bewildering—the nation."
