Be A Dog’s Best Friend: A Safety Guide for Kids

Be A Dog’s Best Friend is written in the voice of Ema, a ten-year-old with a wealth of information about how to safely interact with dogs. Ema takes her readers on a tour of all of the dogs in her life, offering tips along the way of how to best approach new dogs, play with familiar dogs, and steer clear of dogs unknown to her. Be A Dog’s Best Friend features clear illustrations of dogs demonstrating inviting and uninviting body language, as well as demonstrations of do’s and don'ts. The language used is geared toward children ages six to ten years of age. For children younger than six, adults can use the text and pictures to begin a dialogue.
