When I was 12 I wanted to walk my dog, and my mum wouldnt let me either
It was because (Pongo) Our Dalmatian was so strong, So she made me train him in the garden instead, I did it for about 2 months, then We were allowed to the end of the road and back, the to the park with my friends.... etc... Im sure Wilson would love to go on an adventure with your son!! It will be fine!!! x x
