There's nothing quite like the bond between a child and their dog - somehow, they just seem to understand each other, and the joy they bring to each other and their families is priceless.
Not only do dogs provide companionsihp to kids, buty they also encourage them to be active and to play outside, as well as giving them a sense of responsibility for another creature.
The latest release from ABC for Kids, the bouncy, joyful 'Puppy Love', is sure to be a hit with every young dog owner - and all those who are still nagging their parents for a puppy.
'Puppy Love' is no holds barred celebration of everything canine, featuring a swag of doggy ditties, including classics like 'How Much is that Doggy in the Window?', 'Old Mother Hubbard', 'This Old Man', 'Where of Where Has My Little Dog Gone?' and 'B-I-N-G-O'.
There are heaps of familiar tracks like 'Spot's Theme', a great version of 'Hound Dog', 'Wags the Dog' from the Wiggles and 'Scooby Doo, Where are You?'.
Highlights include the delightful 'Puppy Love' and 'Woof, Woof, Woof' and a special doogie remix of that perennial school dance favouirte, 'Tchip Tchip (the chicken danc)'.
Other tracks are 'What's the Time, Mr Wolf?', 'Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf' and 'Who Let the Dog Out?'
So when the kids and dogs tire of playing and want a rest, or perhaps when they want to frolic to some catchy music, this is the perfect album to listen to together. It will help to cement that precious bond between child and dog and bring a happy glow to the whole family - human and canine alike.
