My name is Gideon, and I love dogs! When I was 8 years old, I decided to keep track of every dog I met. I asked my mom if I could take a picture with each dog I petted so I could show everyone. Then I started the website IvePetThatDog.com, and I posted a picture of myself with each dog I’ve met. When I joined Twitter, I decided to share the dogs’ stories along with the pictures. So far, I have petted more than 1,000 different dogs, and each dog I meet teaches me something new. Some are playful. Some are fearful. Some are big, while some are tiny. Some dogs have jobs. Some dogs have homes and families, and some dogs are looking for a home. Each dog is different, and each dog has a their own story. A dog is the best friend you will ever have, and they help you live your life to the fullest. They want to go where you go, play what you play, and eat what you eat. They will love you unconditionally and will always be happy to see you. I have learned a lot about dogs over the years, and I hope this book helps you learn about them, too. There are so many dogs waiting to meet you! Zusammenfassung A guide for young readers to befriend and care for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities from eleven-year-old dog-loving Gideon Kidd of the viral Twitter account I ve Pet That Dog!...
