In April we had a visit from Jennifer the local veterinarian and her two dogs. We invited Jennifer to talk with the children about pets and how to care for them as they were showing a growing interest in animals.

The children were all very excited to ask questions and watch Buksie and Cruiser do tricks, dance and follow commands. After learning about pet care the children one by one went up and patted the dogs.

When children interact with animals, they build the all-important senses of connection, empathy and caring. Caring for a pet instills respect for life and an awareness of the needs of others as well as giving children an understanding of how their behavior can affect others too.
