0An apostrophe as you're using it indicates possession. If you were to use "dog's" with an apostrophe "s", you would be saying that a dog was in possession of something. For example, "the dog's bowl." In this case, the dog owns the bowl or possesses the bowl. Without the apostrophe, it becomes a plural or more than one dog. For example, if you said "who let the dogs out?" you would be askin

0Rule One: Don't 01u00ever02u00 use apostrophes when you are making a plural. Apostrophe's in your title is incorrect.02br

00Rule Two: Use apostrophes when you are making a possessive. Sometimes it goes before the s and sometimes after the s. You need to learn the rule and if you search this site you'll find plenty of help.02br
