Made with love

Written and designed with Emilia — and her dog Samantha.

Cartoon of Emilia
Hi! I’m Emilia, and I’m 9.

I have a dog named Samantha, and I’ve taken care of fish, shrimp, and snails too. I made this workbook so YOU can be ready for your first pet — because pets deserve humans who are ready to make them as happy as can be.
