Is your child begging for a dog?

Adopting a puppy or rescue is a beautiful thing. Dogs can be cute, friendly, and full of love.

They can protect your home and loved ones and inspire a sense of happiness and well-being.

But is your family prepared to meet all of a dog's needs?

Dogs need grooming, exercise, feeding, love, and tons of cuddles.

When it comes to raising a dog, it is not only a parental job - kids also need to understand and accept the necessary responsibilities.

Sharing this book will help prepare your kids for all the love and work required to raise a happy, healthy dog.

This beautifully illustrated, rhyming picture book gently teaches kids about the joys and commitment of dog ownership.

BONUS content: Download your free Dog Care Chart and a Dog Care Contract from the Author's website.
