Chica the dog

Here's how to talk to your child about it

You learned about dogs and their characteristics. Dogs live all over the world, including Mexico. They love to play, dig holes, eat meat, and gnaw on bones. Dogs also have a strong sense of smell and can communicate with each other by barking. Some dogs even have important jobs like being police dogs or rescue dogs.
Some activities you can do with your child now

- Play fetch with your child using a Frisbee, like Jasmine and Chica did. - Dig holes together in the backyard and try to find hidden treasures, just like dogs use their sense of smell to find things. - Have a picnic and include some meat, since it's a favorite food for dogs like Chica and Jasmine. - Practice howling like wolves together, since dogs use howling as a way to communicate with each other.

"Being a dog is cool because we have so much in common with wolves and we can have jobs like police dogs and rescue dogs. We can do anything we set our minds to!"
