Told through hilariously serious instructions and paired with illustrations that reveal a very different story, this laugh-out-loud picture book celebrates the messy reality of welcoming an enormous, chaotic, smelly and uncontrollable new family member. Perfect for dog lovers, rule-breakers and anyone who knows that the best companions rarely come in perfect packages.
