Kids spend a lot of time wondering about how to be a good friend, how to communicate effectively, what their purpose is, and what it means to be successful in life. Truth is, even a lot of adults wonder about these things. What if you could learn all this from man's best friend? Well, you can. If you want to become a better person, why not travel WATSON'S WAY.
