Written by Dr. Tiffany Ruiz, a veterinarian and mother of two, Speaking Dog is My Superpower is not just a book - it's a guide to becoming a true superhero for dogs, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for our four-legged friends. Dr. Tiffany Ruiz believes dogs should not have to be tolerant of children, and instead, children and their pets can live in harmony when body language is understood and boundaries are respected. During her years in practice, she has witnessed numerous preventable instances of children being bitten by dogs due to a lack of supervision and misunderstanding canine signals. These incidents not only pose physical risks, but also strain the human-animal bond, both of which can lead to heartbreaking decisions such as rehoming or euthanasia. Dr. Ruiz aims to change this narrative through this children's book, which provides engaging and accessible lessons on respecting dogs and interpreting dog behavior. By empowering kids with this knowledge, she hopes to ensure safer, happier interactions that strengthen the bond between pets and their families.
