Why Little Kids Love This Farm Dog

The dog sits nicely with floppy ears, a wide collar and a happy tongue hanging out. Next to him stands his wooden kennel with plank walls, a round doorway and a bone sign above the entrance. The spaces are big and the lines are thick, so even two-year-olds can join in. The patch of grass underneath just needs a splash of green.

Fun Facts About Farm Dogs

Lots of farms have a farm dog that keeps watch and barks when strangers arrive. Dogs were the very first animals people kept, thousands and thousands of years ago. Their noses can smell thousands of times better than ours. Dogs also β€œtalk” with their tails: wagging can mean happy, but it can also mean excited. A baby dog is called a puppy.

What to Do with Your Finished Dog

Pick a name for the dog together and write it on the kennel sign. Or turn a small cardboard box into a real doghouse for a favorite stuffed animal.
