Dogs are intelligent animals, and when they’re in a home well-suited to them, they make great pets. Dogs can be trained to do tricks and help their owners get around. They often become another member of the family. However, having a dog requires more than just feeding and walking your pet. This book uses engaging text and full-color photographs to examine what it takes to keep a dog happy and healthy. It also prepares children for the many roles and responsibilities of a pet owner.
