Fido is a mangy mutt who lives in the neighborhood, no one knows exactly where. Fidette is a pure bred dog from a nice home.
Fido and Fidette meet in an alley and begin to sniff each other, checking one another out. It would seem a hook up is imminent. After sex,
what would be on their minds? How would the concerns and responsibilities for Fido and Fidette compare to those of a teen couple who
have sex?
Review below each list of concerns and responsibilities that can result from sexual activity. Evaluate if they apply more to animals or to
humans. If you think that it would apply to animals, mark the left side with an X. If you think it would apply to teens, put an X on the right
side. If both apply, mark both.
