Can I Keep It !

By Jack McConnell

Can I Keep It !

It’s a huge responsibility to take care of a dog.

You must FEED it

… or it will get hungry

You must WASH it

… or it will get fleas and smell

You must WALK it

… or it will get fat as a hippo

You must Teach it

… or it will be naughty !

You must PLAY with it

… or it will be lonely

I can do it He can depend on me…

Because

I love him

Son I love you and he is a very lucky dog to have you.

The lesson is… to be responsible and others can depend on you.

This young boy wants to own a dog, But he comes with much responsibility. As the boy listens to his dad tell him the responsibilities, he understands and promises that he will take care of it.
