To calculate the height difference between Juan's dog and Peter's dog, we first need to convert Juan's dog's height to inches.
2 feet = 2 * 12 inches = 24 inches
24 inches + 3 inches = 27 inches
Now we can find the height difference:
27 inches (Juan's dog) - 9 inches (Peter's dog) = 18 inches
Therefore, Juan's dog is 18 inches taller than Peter's dog.
