Children and dogs

Research has shown that for a child, pet ownership can bring many educational, emotional and therapeutic benefits and encourages them to become more responsible and sociable. Sadly these days, all too often we hear horror stories in the news that imply that children and dogs don’t mix, however, if both dog and child are prepared for living in harmony, there is no reason why they cannot become best buddies and enjoy years of fun and companionship.
