Has anybody read "May I Pet Your Dog?"  by Stephanie Calmenson?

I heard an interview with her on public radio. It sounded like a good book or kids, or actually old people too.  The star of the book is Harry, a long haired dachshund.  He tells kids how to meet dogs.  He was adopted by the author and her husband after spending 3 months in a cage.

Anyway, it sounded pretty cool.

I haven't heard of it. Is it a picture book? Sounds like it could be. But it does sound like a great tool to use with children to teach them how to interact with other dogs.

here's a review:
"Harry the dachshund narrates this explanation of safe kid-dog interaction, covering important aspects such as permission…safe approaches…and general philosophy…There’s a clear message that dogs and situations vary…This is a subject usually relegated to a page or two, at best, of dog books, and it’s useful to see it thoroughly explored as its own topic, since dog encounters are a big part of kids’ sidewalk travel…the book is clear and helpful…This will not only be a helpful lesson for heedlessly enthusiastic youngsters, it will provide more timid kids with useful tools that might make them feel more in control of inter-species encounters.” – The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

That is a cute little handy book. I googled it. If you scroll down and find it you can click on the book and it gives you a few pages to flip through.
