concern and just as with babies we ensure that they are vaccinated
against disease

They require considerable
attention

We feed them special food for
puppies
-
We provide them with toys for
puppies
-
We ensure they have their own
bed, and their own space within the home
-
We have to teach them
acceptable behaviour and social skills
-
We even teach puppies our
language!
-
And as they get older we often
send them to puppy schools!

We worry about them if they
become sick

Puppies in their turn look on
as as their surrogate mother, litter companions and the leader of their
pack (or family)

puppies within our family their particular requirements become incredibly
clear - as does the role we are expected to play in their lives!
