For Children: A Dog's-Eye View of the World

by Bonnie Jeffers

Have you ever thought about how your dog sees the world? Try this fun exercise, then help your friends to try it. Get down on your hands and knees to do these exercises.

1) Move around the house on your hands and knees.

Test what you can see--and what you can't see.

2) Call an adult into the room.

Look how big the person looks to you when you are down on the floor. You look at least that big to your dog.

3) Ask the adult to come running at you yelling something you can't understand.

How does that make you feel? Does it seem scary?

You can make your dog feel afraid if you chase him or come running at him too fast. He may not want to be near you.

4) Ask the adult to tell you to do something without using any real words.

What if the person got mad because you didn't understand and do what was asked?

Your dog can't understand your words. You must teach him the words by gently showing him what they mean.
