Most children have the desire to own their own pet. The kids will beg their parents to let them adopt anything: cats, dogs, lizards, guinea pigs, etc. The children, however, usually don't give any thought to the amount of time and money it takes to properly care for a pet. In this cutely illustrated book, a child learns just how hard it is to take good care of a pet dog. This story does not intend to convince children that pet ownership is not a good idea, however. Instead, it helps caregivers find a good way to discuss with their children the responsibilities of pet ownership.
