Did you know that dogs are social animals, like us, which means they love to spend time with human and doggy friends? What do dogs love to eat, what do they just love to do, and what keeps them happy, as well as healthy? Dogs can be brilliant and entertaining pets but we shouldn't forget that-like all animals-they have their own needs. It might surprise you to learn that dogs don't like being hugged, and it's important to know how dogs show you when they want some quiet time. You can find out by learning the facts in this book and taking on detective assignments to investigate their needs. By going through your pet detective tasks to learn about taking care of a real dog, you can find out if you and your family are the right owners for these special pets.
