Harvey Helps at Home
🐾 Hi Friends—Harvey here!
Having a new puppy at home is… different.
Sometimes it’s fun. Sometimes it’s noisy. And sometimes… I’m not sure what to do.
One day, I watched Mom and Dad helping the new puppy. They looked busy. I felt a little left out.
Then I noticed something—everyone needed help.
“Can I help?” I asked.
Mom smiled. “Yes, Harvey.”
I brought a blanket. I picked up toys. I stayed close.
“You’re such a good big brother,” Dad said.
My tail wagged—slow and proud.
Helping didn’t take anything away from me.
It brought me closer to my family.
“I like helping,” I said.
And I meant it.

A Note to Parents and Caregivers
