Best Buddies: A Kids Guide to Understanding, Living With, and Caring for Your Dog
By Sasha Finch
This isn't just a book about dogs, it's a guide to building a real, respectful friendship.
Best Buddies teaches kids how to understand and care for dogs in a thoughtful, science-based way. Through simple explanations and real-life examples, young readers (ages 7+) will learn how dogs think, feel, play, rest, and communicate, and how to become a trustworthy companion in return.
Kids will discover:
How to read dog body language with confidence
How to use the Consent Test to ask before petting or playing
Why dogs need routines, rest, and safe spaces
What to feed dogs (and what to never give them)
How to train kindly using rewards and patience
How to help when dogs are scared or overwhelmed
Written with empathy, clarity, and respect for both dogs and kids, this book helps families raise emotionally intelligent, dog-smart children, and gives young readers a sense of real responsibility, not just fun.
Whether your family just adopted a puppy or you've lived with dogs for years, Best Buddies will help your child build a stronger bond, avoid common mistakes, and grow into the kind of human every dog deserves.
