Dogs, dogs, dogs!

Today we had a visit from from Mrs MacDonald. She is from the City Council and she works for Dog Control.

We learned about how to be safe around dogs.

She bought her dog called Switch. She was cool and she had two different coloured eyes! She was a kind and careful dog. She let us pat her.

This is what you should do if you want to pat a dog.

1 Ask the owner first.

2 Let the dog sniff your hand. Your hand should be in a fist not flat. Flat hands are easy to bite!

3 Pat the dog under his chin and on his chest.

These are some of the things we learned.

If a dog is running at you, you should stay still and fold your arms.

When a dog sniffs you it is saying hello!

Some dogs have to wear a muzzle.

We really liked hearing about how to be safe and we really liked Mrs MacDonald and her dog Switch!
