Today Jo Hamilton from the Timaru District's Animal Control Unit brought her dog Stevie to school to teach our Creative Creatures' classes about staying dog safe.
We all learnt some very important life-time rules.
They are:
1. Check it's sweet - before you meet!
2. To understand - they sniff your hand!
3. Chin or chest - that's the best!
4. To meet a pup - ask a grown up!
5. If a dog has a snack - keep well back!
6. Keep your face - out of their space!
7. Don't run and shout - it freaks us out!
8. A dog's not a toy - don't tease or annoy!
9. Quiet and slow - is the way to go!
IF A DOG'S ON ITS OWN - LEAVE IT ALONE
Thank you Jo and Stevie. We are all going to make sure we follow these rules.
