My Dog: A Kids' Guide to Keeping a Happy & Healthy Pet

Written by Michael J Rosen, author of Kids’ Best Dog Book, and dubbed a “fidosopher” by The Washington Post, My Dog! covers everything from the basics of handling, feeding, and grooming to history, lore, and the kinds of fun facts kids will always remember (dogs have a sense of smell a million times better than ours; the oldest dog on record, Bluey, lived to be 29). It tells kids how to train their dogs, with illustrations—including action commands like Sit, Stay, Come, and Go to Your Place, and behavioral commands like Speak and Thank-You.

Admission price includes a presentation by the author, "Woody's dogtail" (one per child) and a gourmet dog treat from the Dining Dog.  Make sure to bring a photo of your dog if you would like Michael to do a quick sketch for you!
