Your dog will bark about these treats! “For a family activity make pet treats and donate them to the local animal shelter or include as a specialty gourmet pet treat at a fundraiser bake sale,” suggests Charlene Patton.

Instructions
Making the Pet Treats
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, combine whole wheat flour, dry milk powder, salt and brown sugar. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender, fork or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine egg and cold water or broth.
Stir the egg mixture into the dry mixture to form a dough ball. Sprinkle with small amounts of water or flour to make a dough that can be kneaded. Knead for about 3 minutes.
Roll dough to ½-inch thickness. Cut into bone shapes, using cookie cutter or knife. Cut into kibble snacks by rolling the dough into a long thin log and cut ½-inch pieces.
Place the same-size shapes on each baking sheet for even browning.
Depending on the size of the shapes, bake 30 - 35 minutes or until browned and crunchy.
