Dear Bubby,
My dad is allergic to dogs. My sister is also allergic. But I need one so badly. What do I do?

Dear Helpless,
If your dad and sister are allergic to dogs they should go to an allergist doctor and get the immune shots. They may also be allergic to some other smells.
I would also suggest that if you do get a dog, you should choose one that has short hair and be not too big is size. After a while they too will warm up to this animal without feeling that they will be uncomfortable near him. The important thing is that they should see the allergist.
Good Health.
