Have you ever wanted a dog? Maybe you would just like to pet one! Gideon Kidd and Rachel Braunigan can tell you almost everything you need to know. When meeting a new dog that you want to pet, be sure to ask the caregiver - and the dog! Follow their list of Dos and Don'ts so that you and the dog will feel safe. Learn about dog's body language, some fun facts about dog communication, and places to go to meet dogs. Every dog has a story - ask the caregiver about theirs - includes some helpful questions you can ask to get the caregiver talking about their dog. Additionally, there's a section of stories about dogs from history like Balto, Stubby, and Buddy - the first US seeing eye dog; adopting and taking care of your own dog, a quiz to see what kind of dog best matches your personality and a place to record the name, date and breed of all the dogs you meet.
I loved this! Perfectly paced with just the right amount of information. Susann Hoffmann's cartoon illustrations are multicultural with lots of different breeds - great for imagining yourself with your own dog. This would be a great gift for a young dog lover, especially someone waiting to get their own dog.
