There is also a Dog Breed Fact Index with interesting trivia about all of the breeds. More than one-third of American households has a dog. With Big Dogs, Little Dogs, children and adults alike and together will enjoy learning and identifying the dogs that they encounter. It is fun and informative, and it might instill a lifelong interest in ""man's best friend."""
