Dogs and Children by Wallace Clay
Wallace Clay, an experienced parent, grandparent, Chessie
owner and long-time participant in the Chessie-L, has written an
article on Dogs and Children for CBRRR. It is written from a
personal perspective and relates what has worked for his family. Wally
makes the important point that you must view the kids and dog
as members of your family to make this "kids ‘n dogs" integration
work. Any less of a commitment is setting yourself...and your
family.... up for failure.

Paw Island
Paw Island is a magical island world
inhabited by cats and dogs who have
sailed away from the Land of People. In
this special world, all of the adult pets
have jobs, roles or responsibilities on
the island. More importantly, they are
all able to teach the island's younger
pets the difference between right and
wrong. These lessons are, in turn,
imparted to children who participate in
the stories.

Kids and Dogs Safety Tip Sheet
Today many homes are raising children along with the family dog.
Naturally kids delight in hugging, petting, and playing with their pets.
But unfortunately, many children grow up believing that all dogs are
gentle and friendly like their pets, and commonly fall victim to a dog
attack, simply because they'd never been taught when it's not okay to
approach a dog.
