Takes the reader through a series of interactions and scenarios to help children understand elements of dog behaviour and body language, and the best ways to interact with unfamiliar dogs. Aiming to be both educational and entertaining, this digitally illustrated picture book takes the form of a social story, so it is also helpful for children with autism or developmental delay. A great book for everyone who loves dogs and those who don't. yet.

Shaw, Alice: - I am a Melbourne based freelance graphic designer and illustrator. I am most inspired when working on projects that make an impact and improve our environments. In this case; advocating for dogs and educating kids on how to behave around our furry companions. Dogs really are the best. Thankfully, I am never very far away from a hound these days. Red and Ollie are our resident kelpies and they certainly keep us on our toes - between naps. And if two active working dogs weren't enough, we also foster dogs through Dogs4Jobs. Fostering has given me the opportunity to meet and interact with so many different dog personalities over the past three years. And, contrary to popular belief, not all dogs are the same. Not all dogs like pats and not all dogs like play. Some are friendly and some aren't. They tell us all this very clearly, but we don't always know how to listen. I wanted to give dogs a bigger voice. That is when Can I pat that dog? was born. I hope it helps human and doggo alike in ensuring safe and happy future interactions.
