Today at Growing With Science blog<\/a> we have highlighted\u00a0 Dog Science Unleashed: Fun Activities To Do With Your Canine Companion <\/em>by Jodi Wheeler-Toppen and with photographs by Matthew Rakola.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jodi Wheeler-Toppen has come up with over 20 fun and appropriate hands-on science activities for kids to discover more about dog biology and behavior. For example, they can learn more about what colors dogs see by hiding different colored balls in a grassy lawn and watching how easy it is for the dog to find them.<\/p>\n

Safety is first with all these activities. The author remind kids to watch for signs the dog is upset or uncomfortable, and to quit the activity if the dog is unhappy. Also, make sure the dog has access to water and plan lots of breaks even if the dog is enjoying himself.<\/p>\n

As to be expected from National Geographic, the photographs are fantastic. The photographer followed kids and their super-photogenic dogs as they tried out the activities. The results are inspiring.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that Dog Science Unleashed<\/em> is a great choice for dog lovers, as well as budding zoologists and veterinarians.<\/p>\n
