A 10-year-old in Dubai published a dog's story and gave the earnings away

A 10-year-old in Dubai has published a book told from a dog's point of view and is giving the earnings to animal welfare. Gulf News reported on October 31, 2026, that Aryahi Tiwari, a Year 6 student who has lived in the city for more than four years, released "Paw-sitively Royal." She is a certified dog trainer and told the paper that the training taught her dogs have personalities and ways of communicating that do not use words.

She pledged all earnings from the book to animal welfare, including cow shelters, and said Dh5,000 has already been donated. She attends Nord Anglia International School Dubai and is the school's student ambassador for The Alliance for Sustainable Schools. Her father's family is from Bareilly and her mother's from Jaipur. She lived in Singapore and Indonesia before Dubai. She also told Gulf News she has built more than 10 apps and is a certified coder.

The article is a profile of one student and the book she finished. It does not report how many copies have sold, or name the shelter that received the Dh5,000. The checked facts are the book, the pledge, and the amount she says has already gone out.
