Synopsis: Have you ever wondered what your dog is really thinking? Read this book to find out!
An older, wiser dog offers hilarious advice to puppies about how to be a pet, including quickly grabbing any snacks left laying around before your owner changes their mind, helping out by 'sorting' the rubbish and always leading the way on walks.
All dog-lovers will laugh with recognition at this very funny story from a talented husband-and-wife duo.
Review: 5 out of 5 stars
The Complete Guide to a Dog's Best Friend by Felicity Gardner is a wonderfully illustrated and humorous story about how to choose your new best friend - your pet dog.
My daughter was able to read this book easily and with understanding, with large text and some wonderful humour, it was written from the point of view of an older, wiser dog, you get a glimpse into what they're thinking which the kids found to be quite funny, we could relate to their antics.
The Complete Guide to a Dog's Best Friend is a delightful, easy read that I highly recommend, especially for dog lovers. The pictures by David West are detailed and vibrant.
Thank you to Hachette Australia for the opportunity to read and review The Complete Guide to a Dog's Best Friend.
