Any websites about responsibility of owning a dog?

Do you have any websites that ask and tell you about the responsibilities of owning a dog(for kids/teens)? Not just stuff that you have to read, but questions you have to answer. In a previous question, someone told me a great website that asked questions like "name 3 times you have been gentle with a dog/puppy in the past month." and "How much time a day do you think you will need to spend with you dog?"
Questions like that. Thanks!
Answers:
I just googled "dogs and responsibility" and a whole list came up! Here are a few that I liked:
http://www.sniksnak.com/responsibility.h...
http://www.doginfomat.com/b4ugetadog.htm... (has an article about dog's everyday needs if you scroll down)
http://www.momssource.com/parenting/valu...
(may be the best link, if you're using the dog to teach responsiblity, it has age ranges and what a child in that age range should be able to do for the dog)
Just google the words and I swear you'll come up with hundreds of websites (I know I did)
you can also go to this link (below) and there you'll find all sorts of easy to understand, great for beginners information on dog's diet, training, exercise, introducing a new dog to the whole family, etc...

there is a great book called "The complete Dog book for kids"
also AKC website and local or state SPCA's should have good info
I know of two good ones.
