Can I Pet That Dog?: What It Means to Be a Real Hero Dog

By Shannon Linthicum

Bruce has a job.
It's not chasing squirrels or chewing shoes (though he's fully qualified for both).
He's a real-life service dog-trained to help his human through the tough stuff. And no, you can't pet him. Well... not while he's working.

In Can I Pet That Dog?, Bruce tells it like it is-with snark, heart, and a whole lot of dog hair.
Kids will laugh, learn, and walk away knowing:

What service dogs really do

Why you shouldn't distract them (even if they're ridiculously cute)

And what it really means to be a hero dog

This book is for every kid who's ever reached out to pet a vest-wearing pup-and every adult who needed to read this, too.

BONUS: Includes a downloadable coloring page of Bruce, because even working dogs deserve to be fabulous in crayon.
