The rewards of teaching consideration and respect for animals are children who are both humane and safe.
Warm weather means kids on the move.
Children on bicycles, skates and skateboards explore new places and come into contact with different sights, sounds, people, and yes, animals. Stay away from dogs that are chained or in fenced yards. Do not shout, run around, or stick hands at dogs through fences or open car windows. Never approach a strange dog. Dogs are possessive about certain things.
