'Is that my dinner?' is a [scratch and sniff book for dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scratch-and-sniff-billboard) that provides a holiday story for humans while giving pets interesting scents to smell. The ad agency RTO + P came up with the branded book for The Honest Kitchen -- a company that sells human-grade whole pet food.

The story sets a dog at a holiday party, experiencing all the scents of the delicious human food above him on the tables. The cute illustrations show the pup in a Christmas costume of antlers and a festive sweater.

More of a novelty item than anything else, this book for dogs is great for pet owners who love to get their dog a gift on their birthday or Christmas. If well received, The Honest Kitchen will make more dog books for other holidays like Easter and Independence day.
