After reading about and watching the Salmon Arm home page news article
we had some responses and questions: "I get stand like a tree, but the "be a log" sounds scary."
After much discussion we decided to contact the SPCA.

A recent news item on the SPCA Salmon Arm home page re how to act when around threatening dogs teaches one to "stand like a tree" and also at times to lie down on the ground and cover your neck with your hands, "be a log." Staff teachers & k-5 students want to know more about "being a log" as many feel scared about lying down on the ground when a potentially aggressive dog is nearby.
Thanks, from the teacher-librarian, staff and students at Bastion Elementary, Salmon Arm. We look forward to hearing and learning from "the experts."
Dear blog readers, we'll keep you posted to our answer ...

 | ‘Stand like a tree’ is key if you encounter an off-leash dog
May 1, 2017
If you or your children ever encounter an off-leash dog – even if it’s one you know from around your neighbourhood, it’s still important to be careful, especially if the dog’s guardians aren’t nearby.

A Pet
A pet is a cuddly little thing,
Joy and laughter it will bring.
If your pet has way too much fur,
Expect it to bark or maybe just purr.

If your pet has way too much fur,

A pet could become a very close friend,
Treat it nice, lots of love it shall send.
It has the potential to cheer you up,
Right from the start, just like a pup.

Pets are wonderful, they're all unique,
They understand you, make sure you speak.
Don't forget to love them dearly,
They'll love you back, lots and sincerely.
