A new book entitled, "Kippy: Second Chance Dog", by Susan Mann, is written to teach kids about adopting a dog from the animal shelter, and then how to train and take care of it.

It's targeted to parents whose kids are asking for a puppy, perhaps for Christmas, as a way to teach them about their responsibilities. The story focuses on clicker training.

It can be purchased online from Buy Books on the Web, for $12.95.
