Not a Lapdog
“Not a lapdog” is a picture book that combines storytelling and factual information. It follows a Husky named Pikku as he travels to a new home and encounters an unfamiliar environment. The book explains how dogs perceive the world and highlights that different breeds have different needs. Its main message is that understanding and respect are more important than closeness.
- encourages children to respect boundaries and to understand dogs
