Grammar
apostrophe
Can we use the apostrophe s for animals to denote possession
for example The dog's tail is long.
Thank you.
for example The dog's tail is long.
Thank you.

There's no reason at all to exclude animals- or inanimate objects, or abstract concepts from the possessive. Examples: "the car's worth" "the book's table of contents" "gravity's pull on the moon"
