I, too, would put the book(s) in a case or drawer, away from danger.

This advice is coming from a person who is taking her Electrolux vacuum to the repair shop to have the cord replaced, as one furry friend named Prue, chewed the end off the cord, yesterday. My fault for leaving the vacuum out in full sight.

How old is the dog? Still a puppy? Prue is only 10 months old.

Good luck!
