What to Know Before You Get Your Dog

"PLEASE can we get a puppy?!" Sound familiar? If your child has started leaving dog photos on your pillow, promising to give up screen time forever, and perfecting their own puppy-dog eyes in the mirror—this book is for your family. What to Know Before You Get Your Dog transforms that exciting (and slightly overwhelming) moment into something beautiful: your family's first real conversation about what it means to love and care for a pet-together. Through gentle rhymes and stunning watercolor illustrations, children discover the daily adventures of dog ownership-from walks and play to feeding, grooming, and yes, even scooping poop. But more than a checklist, this book captures the joy, the bond, and the love that makes it all worthwhile.
