Helping a child overcome his fear of dogs

 

We drove to Minnesota to spend the week of Thanksgiving with my family. Romeo is accustomed to a quiet household, so a house full of adults and my nephews ranging from 4 years to college-age, is quite different for him. But he was very well-behaved and adjusted quite well to the change in environment.
