Are you ready to pet some good dogs? Play by yourself or with others, with a real dog or an imaginary one, and pet! that! dog! Who has the best technique? Who gets to give that Good Dog a treat?

This is a mini-zine folded and cut from one letter-sized sheet of paper and requires assembly with printer and scissors.  Plaintext files of rules and assembly instructions also included.

Good Dog was created by Brian Griffith in a group chat. Title calligraphy, zine design, and word tweaks by June Owatari. Public domain artwork from Pablo Stanley.

The zine is available for free, although donations are appreciated. Donations will be sent to Second Chance Dog Rescue in San Diego, CA.
