Our dog, Pip, is an honorary “student” in our homeschool who gave our kids comfort and support simply by being present. Ask any homeschool dog owner, and they’ll tell you: Homeschoolers and dogs go together like macaroni and cheese—a sweet, ooey-gooey relationship like no other because kids always have a pal to hug, talk to, and cuddle with. It sounds like a perfect fit to me.
As homeschoolers, you just might have the ideal home environment for raising a dog—the flexibility to spend time working and playing with your canine companion and the ability to incorporate the responsibilities of dog ownership as well as general dog know-how into your curriculum.
