0:00:23 > 0:00:24Kick a big score.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26- Oh, yes!- Oh, yes!
0:00:26 > 0:00:29This is Daniel and he is four years old.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- You're a great footballer. - You're a great footballer.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37Daniel likes to play football in the garden with his mum and dad.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39You're not going to get the goal past me.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Yes, I am.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Today, Daniel is going to do something new for the first time.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50But what will that be?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52This is Daniel's memory box.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56It helps him remember all the exciting things that happen.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Try and spot what goes in it.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- Are you ready to catch, Daniel?- Yes.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Oh, look, it went into next-door's yard. Let's go see.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06The dogs have got it, Daniel.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Pets are so much fun.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Would you like to have an animal at your house?- Yeah.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15You're a big boy. Cos you're four, you'd be able to look after a pet.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- Oh, Daniel, you'll be able to care for it and love it...- Feed it.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Feed it and give it water
0:01:21 > 0:01:25and do whatever it needs to make it have a happy home.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Me and Mummy was thinking maybe it's time that we got an animal.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Well, we could go to the pet store and see what they have.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And you can get an idea of what sort of pet you'd like to take home.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Wow, Daniel! You're getting a pet.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42A pet is an animal that lives at home with its owner
0:01:42 > 0:01:45and needs lots of love and care.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49From dogs and cats to smaller ones like rabbits and fish.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Some people even have creepy-crawly ones like spiders and snakes.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Daniel and his mum and dad have come to the pet shop to see what
0:01:57 > 0:01:59kind of animal Daniel will get.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Will it be the gerbil,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03the fish,
0:02:03 > 0:02:04the bird
0:02:04 > 0:02:06or something else?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Hear the chirps of them birds. Look at this one.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Do you think the budgie could chirp your name?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Look!- It might bite.- Oh!- Would it?
0:02:17 > 0:02:18And there's finches.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22They're smaller, aren't they? But they're quite noisy.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Daniel, do you think you would like some of these for a pet?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- No.- You wouldn't?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29What do you want?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Doggy.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- A doggy.- OK.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Well, maybe we could find a doggy for you.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38A dog is a good choice, Daniel.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Are you sure?- So, we need to go and find out all about dogs.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Daniel has come to a farm near where he lives. His mum and dad have heard
0:02:51 > 0:02:54that the farmer might have a dog that needs a home.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- How are you?- How are you, Michael? Nice to meet you.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Daniel. How are you, Daniel?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03We heard that you may have a wee dog that was...
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- I have a wee dog, yeah.- Do you have a name for him?- Not yet, no.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11If you don't have a name for him, I'm going to call him Max.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14You're going to call him Max? Well, that's good.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16It'll be a lovely name for a doggy.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Let's see if the little doggy looks like a Max.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- Peekaboo.- Peekaboo's right. Come on over till we see you, doggy.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- I think he looks like a Max. - Would you like a dog like this?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Yeah.- Isn't he cute?- High-five.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I'm looking for a good home now for this wee dog.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Michael's looking for a good home.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Do you think we could make a good home for this doggy?- Mm-hm.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Now, you're going to look after him, aren't you?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- We'll take good care of him.- If you do, he'll be a good friend to you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47He's giving you five.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Will we go seek some advice then? If we think we can take care
0:03:50 > 0:03:53of a dog we could come back and get Max, couldn't we?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Getting a dog is a big responsibility.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Bye, Max and Michael. - Bye, we'll be back soon!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02The family need to be sure they can look after Max properly.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08So, they go and see someone who can tell them what they need to know.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13The first thing to go into Daniel's memory box is a dog.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17As Daniel's thinking of getting a dog, he's come to ask the experts
0:04:17 > 0:04:19about how to look after a pet dog.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22She's giving him little treats, Daniel.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26I bet you and your dad could teach Max a few tricks in your garden.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Like sit, jump and catch the ball.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Are you coming over to say hello to Daniel?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36And sit. Good boy.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Hello, Daniel.- Hello. - Can you say hello?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Well, did you know that you're going to have to feed your dog
0:04:42 > 0:04:45twice a day. Two meals every day.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48You have to make sure that your dog has water
0:04:48 > 0:04:53everywhere he goes all the time. Because dogs get very thirsty.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57And will you remember not to go over and stroke your dog if he's eating?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00And don't ever stroke your dog
0:05:00 > 0:05:04if he's lying in his bed having a wee rest, as well.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Every time he shakes his tail he's happy.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Oh, that's good.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12And he keeps shaking his tail when I was there.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Is he already happy?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Absolutely and it's your job, Daniel,
0:05:16 > 0:05:18to make sure that he stays happy.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21If your dog's sick you have to go to the, erm...
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- What's it called again?- A vets. - The vets.- That's right.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30Dogs have to visit the vet once a year even if they're not sick.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Looking after a dog is a big responsibility.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Do you think you're up to the job?
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Yes.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40There's a lot for Daniel to learn.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43The second thing in the memory box
0:05:43 > 0:05:47are the lessons on looking after your dog.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Daniel will have to buy a few things before Max comes to live with them.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53What will he need?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55A bowl,
0:05:55 > 0:05:56some food,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58a lead
0:05:58 > 0:05:59and a dog bed.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Bring it out so we see the size of it and see would it fit Max?
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- What do you think?- It fits me. - BOTH:- It fits you!
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Do you think Max would like these balls for playing fetch?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- No, they could go down his throat. - We better get the bigger ones.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- Good thinking. Will we get him one of those? Would that be fun?- Yeah.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I think Max will love his new presents.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I need this stuff for our new doggy.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- For our new doggy.- He's called Max.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Do we have the right food? - You have the perfect food.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- You're taking the bed.- Thank you, Aidan.- See you later. Bye.- Bye.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Now that Daniel has everything ready for his dog, Max,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40it's time to go and collect him.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46The third thing into the memory box is the dog bed.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50The big day has come for Max to join his new family.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53They are so excited he's coming to live with them.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Put it on there now.- Oh.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- There you go.- Come on. Put it in. - I can't do it.- MUM:- Nearly got it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Got it.- Right, let it go. - Good boy, Daniel. That's it.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Put your hand in through the hole.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09That's a lovely lead. Max likes his new lead, Daniel.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Come on, Max.- Come on, Max.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Max is going home with Daniel, but before that there's more to be done.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Off to the vets.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21A vet is like a doctor for animals.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24He takes care for everything from hamsters to horses
0:07:24 > 0:07:26and helps us look after them.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Daniel wants the vet to check out his new dog
0:07:29 > 0:07:32to make sure he is fit and healthy.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35If you would like to head on through to James,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- he's ready to see Daniel and Max.- OK.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Hello. You're Daniel.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Nice to meet you.- Hi. - You brought Max in with you.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Well, we'll get him seen today and we'll get him vaccinated
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and we'll check that he's healthy.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Up you go onto the table, Max, to see the vet.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54If you want to pop him up here.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, we're checking his ears as well
0:07:56 > 0:07:59to check that there's no infections there.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02And those ears look fine. So, they're perfect.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I wonder what the vet's listening to.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Do you want to listen to his heart? Can you hear that?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09A drum!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Does it sound like a drum?- Yep.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13And what noise does it make?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- A heartbeat.- A heartbeat!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19That's what it's supposed to sound like. So, that's perfect.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Now. Well, he seems fine. I think he's ready for his injection.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Pop this into here.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Max gets an injection to keep him healthy.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29But don't worry, it doesn't hurt.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- That's him. All done.- Good boy. - Thank you for coming in.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Thank you very much. - Max has been a very good boy.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Hasn't Max been brilliant?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41It's a good thing that Max is fit and healthy.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Daniel can now take him home.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48The fourth thing in the memory box is the vet.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Come on!
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Max is now settling in to his new home and is part of the family.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Max, this is your bed.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Right, Daniel, we have to get some water and some food for Max.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07We'll put the bowls down. We'll get some water for him first.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Daniel's getting good at looking after Max,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13keeping him well watered and fed.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14- Have you got it?- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Looks like Max can smell his dinner.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Do you think he's going to be happy here at our house?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Mm-hm.- He is. I think he's going to be so happy
0:09:26 > 0:09:31and you're going to show him lots of love. There's Mum.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I have a present for you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Do you want to guess what hand it's in?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- DANIEL LAUGHS - Do you know what it is?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- A doggy.- It's a dog tag.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45If you have a wee look at it, it says
0:09:45 > 0:09:50"Max" then it has our telephone number on it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54So, we have to put that on Max's collar.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Now Max has got his dog tag, he won't ever get lost,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59as it tells people where he lives.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Having a pet dog looks like so much fun, Daniel.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Today, Daniel got a pet.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Do you remember what happened?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Let's have a look in the memory box.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11First, Daniel found out he was getting a pet.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Then, Daniel went to find out how to take care of the dog.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Next, Daniel bought Max's dog bed.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22Finally, Daniel met the vet to make sure that Max was happy and healthy.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Today, Daniel has got a pet.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26There is a first time for everything.
