Smile Dogs - their roles and activities

Dogs are great talking points to use with the children.
Homes that don't have the real thing may well have a toy version that they'd be keen to talk about, or maybe a friend's or family members pet.

Activity resources:

These links are to a variety of resources on Silkysteps & external sites. Please feel free to post if you have links you use frequently for these activities.

Dog walking colouring picture (on spindle Spiders page) & a collage page of smaller ones for adding to the children's own collaged backgrounds.

Dogs can be pets, companions, workers, helpers or a combination of all & mor. These are a few ideas on what roles dogs can have ..

ROLES
Hearing dogs for the Deaf have a very informative website and fundraising campaigns always on the go if this is an area of interest to you.
Guide dogs for the Blind and resource page from Keystoneblind.org

POLICE DOGS
Police Dog resources from Kids.Direct.gov.uk
Durham Constabulary currently have a puppy cam in operation
Taysides latest Police puppy gets his own Diary page with lots of great looking web links ..

SEARCH & RESCUE
NSARDA -National Search and Rescue Dog Association - very good links & leads ..
Mountain Rescue dog image search

Rehoming and dog protection services:
DogsTrust
Blue Cross
RSPCA - SSPCA

Interested in the career options as an rspca or sspca (scotland) inspector - details from Learndirect.co.uk

Family dog:
A recently made contact are the owners behind Poopod.com an excellent product and idea that hopefully helps everyone to enjoy their dog walking more - they are an independant business based quite close to me & I wish them the very best with sales.
