My dog-owner friends shared their top dog safety lessons that every kid needs to know.

Just try not to laugh -- we dare you!

#3. Doesn’t matter whether your dog is 6lbs or 100lbs: He is a lap dog.

You won't believe the cuteness.

#7. Your dog will have a “pack” and will ditch you for her friends, just like your kids do.

I think the reason pets bring us so much joy is because they are like weird furry relatives that come by for a visit but never leave.
