Ros and Tess

Ros and Tess visited Carisbrook School to teach us how to be safe around dogs we don't know.

We learnt to ask the dog's owner if it was alright to pat the dog.
We practice putting our fist out for the dog to sniff so that the dog could see we were friendly.
We found the best place to pat the dog was on its chest or on the side of the head.

Ros also explained that we should not run away from a dog or look at it directly in the eyes.  We practiced covering our face so we could protect ourselves.
