Absolutely adorable! With the holidays coming up, I think this would be the perfect gift for the dog lover in your life. I absolutely love dogs, and this book made me smile many times. I quite enjoyed all the illustrations and the brief explanations. It made it easier to read through and I was still able to learn things I didn’t know before. I think this type of formatting really worked for the information being relayed. This book outlines facts about the life of a dog in general as well as taking deeper dives into a variety of breed types. I quite enjoyed this book for a lighter read!

As a multiple dog owner I have enjoyed this book so much. Learning about my dogs behavior and what it means.
Oh and the photos are phenomenal. This is a book I will be happy to purchase and look at time and again.

Thank you so much, NetGalley, for allowing me to read and review this great book!

This is a great book to understand your dog. The pictures and text are easy to look at and read. I may buy a personal copy.

What a sweet fun book to buy a kid who has been asking/begging for a dog. A fun book that goes through the basics of what a dog needs, but also does some fun info on different breeds. I love that it had great graphics for things to look for if you think your dog may be acting strange what symptoms to look for and how to have a dog on leash.

I ordered a copy and will be gifting it to my niece because I know that she has been wanting a dog for a long time!
