#366: Bow-wow!

Nearly 70% of Americans own a pet. But can you guess what kind of pet is the most popular? If you answered dog, you’re right! From pugs to poodles . . . from beagles to bulldogs—canine companions share a place in our house and in our hearts. That’s why they’re called man’s best friend.Dogs are definitely cute, but they’re also a great way to connect with kids. When it’s time for your son to walk Duffy or Max or whatever you’ve named your dog, head on out the door with them. As you walk together, talk to your son about school or sports or whatever topic he’s interested in. The more time you spend with your son, the more he’ll see that you’re actually his best friend.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
