All parents and educators know one thing – when you get more than one child in a room, there’s bound to be at least a couple of them arguing over something.

In this funny and easy-to-relate-to story, see how Jake, Angus, and Kirby view their “siblings.”

Jake remembers what it was like when his life was perfect, and he was still the only dog.

Angus hates being stuck in the middle.

And Kirby just feels like she’s always bossed around because she’s the baby.

Chuckle over the silly antics of these pooches while being reminded that siblings provide lifelong lessons in tolerance, patience, sharing, and conflict resolution…plus siblings make cleaning up a lot easier!
