Content
Dogs are often called "man’s best friend." Waiting faithfully at the door, they greet their owners when they come home every day, tails wagging. They defend their family and home by barking at strangers. A large dog can sometimes frighten children, so it is a good idea to know the best way to approach big dogs. Situations children will recognize show young readers all the things one can experience with a dog and deepen their understanding of the species.In this book, children learn that dogs live in extended family groups called packs. A dog's human family quickly becomes a puppy's new pack. There are all kinds of things a puppy must learn, such as housetraining, coming when called or walking on a leash. My Dog also provides information about the things dogs do best, like following a scent, and describes what dogs like and don't like. Why do dogs wag their tails, and why do they get so excited about going on walks?
The book ends with a survey of the amazing variety of dogs in the world: the big and the small, plump and slender, the long- and short-haired breeds, the short-nosed and long-nosed breeds, and more.
