Thoughts of Dog by Matt Nelson

Thoughts of Dog and WeRateDogs are probably the reason I actually stayed on Twitter during the election coverage.  Matt Nelson is behind both accounts.  Thoughts of Dog is inspired by Golden Retrievers, and my Shandy fits the stereotypes perfectly.  If you aren't a follower, check out Dog, Human, stuffed elephant Sebastian, and the Small Neighbor Human.  You will smile.

So, this.  This is really a picture book with captions in Doggo--a language that goodest bois might use if they could text (and had opposable thumbs, something Dog laments frequently).  It's quick--like if you really worked hard it would take five minutes tops.  But it is also heartwarming, in a time we really need heartwarming.  There's also a new set in the book not on the Twitter feed that made me cry, especially remembering my sweet Sienna and Savannah, who were also Goldens.

If you like Thoughts of Dog, look up Pixie and Brutus, the stories of a Military War Dog Shepherd and an innocent kitten.  I hope they put out a book soon too!
