Draw a picture of your new breed, and write the name you coined on your paper. Turn to the Comics Section of your newspaper. As you read or scan each comic strip, keep a tally of the animals you encounter. Make a chart showing your findings. Our pets are dependent upon us for their health and safety.
Some pet owners are more responsible than others.
Occasionally, pets are mistreated by their owners. Pet rescue organizations are havens for animals who need to be removed from their homes. One example of a pet rescue organization is Noah's Bark , a facility located in California. Check out some links provided by Noah's Bark for stories about amazing rescues of dogs, and read the section on Responsible Pet Ownership to see how much you know about caring for a pet. The American Veterinary Medical Association has posted a great web site with information and activities.
