Stick Dog/Silly Dog (Kennedy, Flora. Tales for Dogs.) Flora Kennedy

We dog companions are lucky people, aren"t we? Not only do we get all this love & loyalty, fun & games, we get to see and do things dog-less people can"t imagine. Our world is better, our lives happier, thanks to our dogs.

Now you can share a new experience with your dog. Everyone likes talking to their dog, but sometimes you run out of things to say--or you feel a bit shy. So make it easy--read your dog a story written just for them, complete with their own name and favoritewords. Each story ends with a treat, game or other fun activity.
