How To Love Your Dog
Reviewed October 2, 1999 by Beth J., a parent from San Diego, California who is not affiliated with the site. How to Love Your Dog is a great site for kids. My two girls love looking at the photos and cute dog graphics. There are lots of interesting and educational topics and there’s always more for my kids to do the next time they get on the site. The site contains plenty of material that teaches children responsibility and compassion related to dogs, including the nitty gritty about pet ownership (costs, time requirements, etc). My girls love reading the stories that kids send in from all parts of the world. Every month they look forward to answering the Question of the Month. I think How To Love Your Dog is a fun, safe, educational site that teaches kids the fundamentals of pet ownership. If you have dogs, there isn’t another site that prepares kids better for taking care of them.
