We got a 2 year old shelter dog a couple of days ago , and she 's attaching to me . I got her for my son , and he 's a little disappointed that she has started out coming to me for everything . I asked him to spend a lot of time with her , provide her treats . training , meals and playtime , while at the same time I ignore her overtures .

Question: Why is the family having to spend so much time with the dog ?
Answer: The dog is needing care .The dog is sick .The dog is new to the family .The dog is needing medical care .
