What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and positive. It does not address the difficulties of pet ownership, such as illness or death, focusing instead on the joyful aspects of canine companionship.
Ideal Reader
A 4-year-old who is obsessed with 'working' dogs or a 6-year-old who has just been told their family is visiting a breeder or shelter to look at puppies. It is for the child who needs a concrete understanding of what makes a beagle different from other dogs.
