Wonderful teaching tool to read as a family."" —NetGalley-Educator ""A wonderful introductory guide to dog ownership that is educational and heartwarming.

Every kid who has wanted a dog will connect with this story and that is how it begins. End pages include funny detailed illustrations on canine communication that are sure to be read over and over."" —Julie Durmis, L.G. Nourse Elementary School, Youth Services Book Review ""Are you wanting to own a dog? For kids, its a great way to learn responsibility, but it often comes with a time commitment that many are not willing to put in. Here, in this book, you can get a look at the ups and downs of dog ownership and what to expect. Different breeds have various needs, so depending on what you are looking for, you might want to research what type of breed best fits your lifestyle. Fun read, and full of great information."" —Rebecca Hill, Blogger ""Ah. File these two little books into the Why Didn’t I Think of That? category. These books are all about what taking care of a pet entails. The various responsibilities are the name of the game, covering the bad, sure, but also the good. The message they’re drilling into young readers? Taking care of a pet isn’t always easy. Nonfiction like this is such a good idea. I tip my hat to the creators."" —A fuse 8 production"
