Joy Behar, like many celebrities, has written books. Her first, “Joy Shtick,” came out in 1999, followed by “When You Need a Lift” in 2007. A decade later, she returned to the world of publishing with her 2017 tome “The Great Gasbag,” subtitled, “An A-to-Z Study Guide to Surviving Trump World.”
While those books were clearly aimed at viewers of “The View,” in 2006 she went after a whole other demographic with the publication of her children’s book, “SheetzuCacaPoopoo: My Kind of Dog.” According to ABC News, the story was inspired by her late dog, Max, whose unique breeding — Shih Tzu, cocker spaniel, and poodle — inspired the title. She wrote a sequel in 2009, “SheetzuCacaPoopoo: Max Goes to the Dogs.”

Interviewed by Celebrity Parents Magazine, Behar revealed the inspiration behind the second book in the “SheetzuCacaPoopoo” series. “This book is an homage to Barack Obama,” she declared, explaining that the plot involved Max becoming a community organizer — much like Obama did before becoming a senator and then America’s 44th president. “Now, that’s a stretch, honey!” Behar jokingly admitted. However, she added, her children’s books are, more than anything, her loving and comedic way of paying tribute to her beloved pet. “My Max was a handful,” Behar recalled. “He humped everyone’s leg. The book is more like a ‘The Way We Were,’ remembering him in all his glory!”
