The old garden fence needs some attention, and Frank and Dottie have rolled up their sleeves. Frank leans over a wooden post with a hammer, steadying a board while Dottie kneels beside him, holding it in place with both hands. Both wear their cream cable-knit sweaters and look focused but cheerful. In front of them, Biscuit has shown up with his contribution: a long knobby stick clenched in his jaws, ears perked and eyes bright, as though he's ready to hand it over the moment they need more lumber. A toolbox, gardening gloves, potted succulents, and raised beds fill the backyard behind them.

Many dogs love carrying sticks, and herding breeds like Corgis often seem to enjoy having a job to do. Still, sticks aren't the safest toy. They can splinter and cause cuts in the mouth or get stuck in the throat, and running with one can lead to injuries. Durable fetch toys made for dogs are a safer alternative. During home repair projects, keep nails, screws, and tools off the ground, and watch where your dog steps, since fallen hardware and splintered wood can hurt paws. Giving a dog a simple task, like a "down" on a nearby mat, can keep them safe and involved.

Biscuit's stick may not end up in the fence, but his helpful spirit is hard to beat. With this crew on the job, the repairs will be finished in no time.
