Dog Fact for Kids: Identifying a Dog Having A Bad Day
In this video, Michael, co-author of “Bash And Lucy Fetch Confidence,” shows what an unfriendly dog–or a dog having a bad day–looks like. The key is to look at the dog’s tongue and tail, he says.
You can watch the video here:
Michael wanted to do this video after he encountered a man walking an unfriendly dog while he and his mom were walking their very friendly puppy, Hudson. The man walking the unfriendly dog told Michael, “My dog’s a bit of a bully. Sorry.” So Michael and his mom avoided the dog.
This was the first time Michael had met a dog that didn’t want to meet his pup Hudson, and Michael was intrigued. He watched the dog’s tongue and tail. In the video, you’ll find out what he discovered.

And keep watching dogs’ tongues and tails!
Michael, how about doing another video about kids, dogs and safety? There might be other ways for kids to be safe around dogs.
Kristi,
I’ll pass this idea along to Michael. I’m sure he’ll come up with lots of ideas. That’s his specialty!
