Does your child feel alone and have few friends? Dear mothers and fathers, do not be discouraged, waiting for a new brother or sister to come along to keep them company, why have you not thought about supporting your little one with a four-legged friend? A little dog (or even a bigger one, why not) can be the most faithful and affectionate companion that a child can have in its development phase, and there are many tender and sweet photos that testify to the deep bond that can be established between them.

For this reason we have collected together our favorite images for you that perfectly demonstrate that a friendship can be born between a child and a dog that goes beyond the tail, the hair and ... the four legs!
