A boy from Iowa, aged eleven, has started keeping track of all the dogs he has met, and petted if possible, and now this account has become a book. PET THAT DOG! A Handbook for Making Four-Legged Friends is a cheerful, brightly coloured guide to enjoying the company of dogs and getting your own dog. As we’d expect, the lad Gideon Kidd took to social media along the way, on his mother Rachel Braunigan’s account, so he may become the next pet-lovers’ influencer.
If you want to pet a dog you should always ask permission first of the dog’s carer. Sometimes getting close to a dog is not a good idea because the dog is nervous, or it may be working. Some dogs, we learn, are service dogs taking care of their human or carrying out other work like mountain rescue. We find out about the start of Guide Dogs for the blind, and about dogs that served in the Army.
A section at the back names many dog breeds so you can fill out when you pet that dog, what its name is and more details. Along with the lively drawings of different dogs, and fascinating facts, the little book carries a lot of personality. PET THAT DOG! Will be fun for young dog-lovers everywhere, and it will certainly encourage them to go out walking, because that is when you meet the dogs. I can’t wait to see what Gideon and Rachel get up to next.
From 11-year-old dog-loving Gideon Kidd of the viral Twitter account I've Pet That Dog comes a guide for young readers to befriend and care for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities!
Pet That Dog! A Handbook for Making Four-Legged Friends is an illustrated guide to meeting, petting, and caring for dogs by Gideon and his mom, Rachel Braunigan. Learn how dogs communicate through body language, helpful tips for safely interacting with dogs, and fun facts about dogs to share with friends. (Did you know that all-white dogs are more likely to be deaf? Or that dogs poop in alignment with the north-south axis of the Earth’s magnetic field?) You can even keep track of the pups you meet with your very own Dog Tracker.
With an interactive format and joyful illustrations of lovable dogs, Pet That Dog! makes a perfect gift for dog lovers and dog-curious kids.
