A beautiful picture book that illustrates the relationship between a young girl and her canine best friend, written and illustrated by publishing legend Joanna Cotler. If I were a dog . . . I'd be silly or patient, or happy or shy. Sometimes I'd be grumpy. Sometimes I'd be playful. Just like me. In a celebration of both what it means to be a dog and what it means to be human, If I Were a Dog shows us how much we all have in common--with each other, and with our animal friends.
