Silly, though not terribly funny, book of ways to get the dog owners let you pet their dog.

It starts off the normal way, by asking if you can pet your dog, to getting more and more silly, as the book progresses, from making friends with pet owners, to pretending you own a dog at the dog part, to using a poll vault stick to jump across a crowded street to pet a dog.

I smiled, but did not laugh. It was that sort of quick read. Good illustrations.

<em>Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review. </em>

This is a sweet little cartoon book. I thought it was funny with beautiful drawings that I want to hang up on my walls. I think like many people one of my favorite hobbies is petting other people's dogs (after asking!) and this book encapsulates that need and love.
Adorable all the way 10/10

Adorable story about dogs. Dogs are man’s best friend- in my opinion. ☺️ They can always bring a smile to one’s face. The illustrations made me laugh. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. Fast read but definitely a good one!

This book was everything!! I knew I would adore this since i too can't resist the urge to pet dogs. The art was absolutely adorable and the ending had me beaming. I can not recommend this book enough for dog lovers or those who want a dog, or get get enough of dogs. Basically if you are obsessed with dogs like me this is the book for you!

This is a cute gift book for dog lovers. There's not much else a reason to buy it. The artwork is clear with lovely colors and the muted blue gray of the background really highlights the other colors, I liked the imaginative illustrations to go with mundane suggestions. Very funny and cute.

Silly with cute illustrations. A very quick read for dog lovers. I haven’t had a dog in years and yet no matter where I go my eyes always find four legged friends. Thank you NetGalley and Chronicle Books for a temporary ARC in exchange for a review.

Funny and cute! A good, quick read for any dog lover in a need of a smile! This little book made my day.

Not me messaging the author on FB to GUSH over this cute book, no way, no how.
JUST KIDDING..... I DID! (& got extra ADORBS pictures of Jeremy's favorite doggo- sweet Lava the Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles and Poodle Mix)

HILARIOUS AND LAUGH OUT LOUD, I really loved this! THANK YOU to Jeremy for letting me fan-girl and share pictures of my sweet Griff babies (Worm & Cheeze), the publisher and Netgalley for the DRC!

I'm an animal lover through and through and if I had a penny for every time I literally STOPPED what I was doing (no matter what it was) to pet a dog- I'd buy ALL THE DOGS TO PET THEM!
I probably have done 90% of the things in this book JUST TO PET A DOG- and the other 10% I will keep in my brain for those tricky instances where I need to be stealthy and sleuth.

Ok, on a more serious note- there have been studies conducted by Universities and Researchers to link interactions with dogs/cats to stress reduction- it's real, ya'll!
(Unless you get a puppy that's out of its little mind...the stress will be high initially- #speakingfromexperience)

I thought this was a SUUUUPER fun, playful, ingenious romp of a book for all dog lovers big and small- PERFECT for a coffee table or really any office or classroom setting (towards the more mature age range, although kiddos will love the gorgeous art and illustrations and could be a fun 'I-SPY' game!!)

(I already told the author I'd love a signed copy- and I only purchase signed copies for books I'm OBSESSED with)

**On another serious note, THANK YOU TO THE AUTHOR for explaining the proper 'dog-petting' etiquette- ALWAYS, I MEAN ALWAYS ask the owner if you can pet the dog...not all dogs are ok with strangers, strangers coming up in their personal space, being pet, and can have many interesting quirks. Some dogs ARE working and are service dogs- they are with their owner to do their job and any distraction (even being pet) can be dangerous if 100% of their attention is not focused. This is TRULY important to remember- especially with how light and fun the book is- it's SO important to remember that all doggos are different and unique.

Thank you for the EArc NetGalley.

If this book hadn’t taken all of 3 minutes to read I would have DNF’d it. There were a couple of clever illustrations and captions but the majority were just really really odd and fairly off putting. Not my cup of tea even though I do want to pet every dog I see.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange of an honest review.
As someone who once ran across the sand of crissy field beach to pet a tiny fluff dog, this book was made for me.

A cute humorous guide to how to pet every dog! Illustrated with tons of cute dogs (and I guess humans are there too), this is a great, funny book.

As someone who goes on walks only in the hopes of getting to see cute dogs, I loved this book! I will literally stare at every dog I pass longingly, I have social anxiety so sometimes I get too scared to ask if I can pet the dog. This book was really funny and gave a lot of great solutions to that while still being very information and respectful! The drawings were also super cute! I recommend to any dog lovers

Can I Pet Your Dog? is a funny book about being a little *too* eager to pet dogs. I can relate! I loved all the wacky scenarios you can take to pet a dog, it was a fun little book. Would be a great gift for any dog lover.
