This unit deals with the topic of dogs. Initially, this unit looks at the dogs from the personal perspective of the pupils and then moves to the public domain which relates to dogs not just as home pets but as animals that actually help us and other people in our society. Dogs are beneficial to humans; they serve as guide dogs for the blind, work dogs on farms and caregivers for the elderly and children.
