Boy Giving Dachshund Puppy a Bubble Bath

A smiling boy kneels beside a shallow oval tub and gently washes a puppy with a mitt-style washcloth. He wears a short-sleeved striped shirt, and one hand rests on the dog's back while the other hand scrubs with the cloth. The puppy stands with its front paws on the tub's rim, long ears hanging down, tongue out, and its tail curling up behind. Soap suds pile along the edge of the tub and cover parts of the dog's body, and a few bubbles float nearby. A shoe with a tied lace shows at the bottom left. Try coloring the bubbles in pale blues and purples so they stand out against the white suds, and pick two or three colors for the shirt stripes. It also works well as a talking point about pet care and bath time routines. Print as many copies as you need for a classroom or a rainy afternoon.
