Brandy and Val

Do you know what to do if a scary dog approaches?  We teach this during our pet therapy sessions.  Of course, with vicious attack dogs like Brandy and Val, the kids tend to be skeptical, but, nevertheless the procedure goes like this:

STOP what you’re doing

GO SILENT

STAND LIKE A TREE

S.O.S. if that helps you to remember.   Theoretically, the intimidating pup will find you boring, lose interest in you quickly and move on to more interesting prospects.  Don’t worry, chances are you won’t be mistaken for a fire hydrant, but I guess that would be a small price to pay in exchange for a trip to the E.R.!

Our mission is “to do good where good is needed.” We aim to help animals and people and spread knowledge about causes we believe in through our work and sales of our books, Brandy and Val, Real Dogs with Real Tales.
