This week South East Education Officer, Deirdre, and Education Dogs, Sadhbh and Cónán, visited Keen Kidz Summer Camp in Ballygunner, Co. Waterford. The children were in for a real treat - a quiz in the style of 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?' Of course, what Deirdre really wanted to find out was 'Who Wants to Be A Responsible Dog Owner?'
The children divided into teams and worked together to come up with the answers to 10 doggy-related questions. There was lively discussion around each of the questions and a demonstration of 'scoop-the-poop'. The children also talked about why we should never leave dogs in cars - as Sadhbh demonstrated, dogs are not very good at keeping cool and need plenty of water and shade so they don't become 'hot dogs'!
After the quiz, the children all got to meet and stroke Sadhbh and Cónán in a safe and controlled manner - as we all know, dogs must never be approached without the permission of their owner.
Thanks to everyone at Keen Kidz for a lovely visit!
