By: Judy Hamontre, AVHS Volunteer As the days become warmer, it is heart-warming to see children and their dogs outside having fun, enjoying the “magic” of life.

Children get so excited about a dog, they want to run, scream, chase and hug this wonderful furry friend. They need to learn that such enthusiasm could frighten a dog, causing unwanted and unpleasant behavior. A few basic lessons about......
