I LOVE YOUR DOG!

How to Yell at Strangers in a Socially Acceptable Way

Dogs are great!

This book is actually a manifesto—but not the kind that can get you thrown into jail, ideally, for our sake. The main premise is: Dogs are great! Reminding each other of that on a daily basis spreads cheeriness. And cheeriness is needed. 

Especially after ... waves hand ... everything.

Please go spread cheer by yelling I LOVE YOUR DOG today!

And look within for instructions how to yell it well.

A picture book for grownups who forgot how to be silly in public.

Premium? Standard? Standard looks good, but Premium gives more ink coverage letting the art be closer to the actual painting.
