"Don't Lick The Dog" by Wendy Wahman

Meeting a new dog is exciting, but it can also be scary. This humorous how-to manual shows kids the best ways to interact with unfamiliar dogs, providing helpful tips about all sorts of dog behavior. Children often don’t understand what dogs’ actions mean and can misinterpret a threatening signal for a friendly one and vice versa. Kids and parents will return to Wendy Wahman’s playful illustrations again and again for useful reminders: Slow Down. Stay very still. And remember, don’t lick the dog!

@lacigrl I so understand. Thanks, so much for writing

Thank you sooo much for writing this. I can't tell you how many kids run up to my little nervous (and admittedly very cute) dog without asking, get all up in her face, and end up getting bitten because they scare her. It's so important for kids' and dog safety to respect them by being calm and asking permission!
