THE PREMISE
Dogs are great! Reminding each other of that on a daily basis spreads cheeriness. And cheeriness is needed.
Especially after... waves hand ...everything.
This book is actually a manifesto—but not the kind that can get you thrown into jail, ideally, for our sake. Inside you'll find instructions on how to yell I LOVE YOUR DOG! well, complete with gorgeous illustrations of real dogs who deserve to be yelled at (affectionately).
It's time to bring back public silliness.
PERFECT FOR
✓ Dog lovers who need permission to be weird in public
✓ People who miss random human connection
✓ Anyone who needs more joy after... gestures broadly
✓ Coffee table books that actually make people smile
✓ Gifts for friends who compliment every dog they see
✓ Humans who forgot how to have fun
THE MISSION
In a world that sometimes feels disconnected and too serious, I LOVE YOUR DOG! is a reminder that:
Small moments of joy matter
Dogs are universally delightful
It's okay to be silly in public
Random acts of cheerfulness spread
We could all use more reasons to smile at strangers
Go spread some cheer today. The dogs (and their humans) will appreciate it.
