Say Cheese: Special Edition
National Pet Month
(continued from page 11)
Nothing
has Changed
N
othing has changed since John
Huff, a member of Shenandoah
Valley Electric Cooperative
and resident of Stuarts Draft, submitted
a photo of his 10-month-old
granddaughter, Charlotte, and her
dog, Rosie, sleeping together to the
magazine's reader-photo column,
Say Cheese.
" Charlotte will turn 3 years old
in July, and nothing has changed, "
he says. They're still the best of friends.
Charlotte's parents, Tyler and Katie
Ward of Augusta County, Va., say
their " sassy and sweet " little girl
has a " very sweet " relationship with
the family's dog.
When Charlotte isn't singing or
dancing, playing with her Barbies or
giving out hugs, she's playing with Rosie.
" Rosie is very gentle with Charlotte, "
Katie says. " She lets her climb all over
her. They like to share food - Charlotte
leaves food out where Rosie can get to it.
Charlotte likes to hit her T-ball and let
Rosie chase the ball. Charlotte also loves
to give Rosie treats and brush her. "
70% of people
sign their dog's
name on their
holiday cards.

Children raised with pets show
many benefits. Developing positive
feelings about pets can contribute
to a child's self-esteem and selfconfidence.
Positive relationships
with pets can aid in the development
of trusting relationships with others.
A good relationship with a pet can
also help in developing non-verbal
communication, compassion
and empathy.
Pets can serve different purposes
for children:
* They can be safe recipients of
secrets and private thoughts -
children often talk to their pets,
like they do to their stuffed animals.
* They can help develop responsible
behavior in the children who care for them.
* They provide a connection to nature.
* They can teach respect for other living things.
