Dogwatch, working hard in the weekend!

When we went into Dog Watch we found out that they run on donations so we decided to bake some treats for them. We researched some recipes on Google and found one that looked easy. The dogs were all on special diets so we had to pick one that was simple and basic. 

Here is the recipe...

Basic Dog Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour (substitute regular flour or oats if your dog is sensitive to wheat)
• 1 tsp. salt (or less)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. Beef or chicken Bouillon granules (can substitute beef or chicken broth/stock)
• ½ cup hot water

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Dissolve bouillon in hot water
3. Add remaining ingredients
4. Knead dough until it forms a ball (approximately 3 minutes)
5. Roll dough until ½ inch thick
6. Cut into slices or bone shapes (you can purchase a bone shaped cookie cutter to make shapes with)
7. Place dough pieces on lightly greased cookie sheet
8. Cook for 30 minutes

When we made these we had to convert a lot of the measurements! We shared out the ingredients and were each responsible for some. We made them at school.

On Saturday we went back to Dog Watch. We decided to go in while the biscuits were still fresh. We also used this time to make a video and take some photos of the Dog of the Week. We are going to hand the posters out in mailboxes to encourage people to adopt a dog. We are going to post the movie up or our Blog- so stay tuned!! 

We learnt we had to be organised, our team was relying on us! Amelia was so impressed that we gave up some of our own time, this really showed our commitment. We are now in the process of editing our movies and working out how best to present these beautiful dogs. Our next steps are to advertise these dogs and try to help make a difference to Dog Watch.
