Actually all three of the above answers are right.
Chris has I friend. - I like Chris' friend.
Joe has a dog. - Joe's dog died.
These are possessives. You can also us s' for more than one object belonging to many people.
The houses have a park. - This is the houses' park.
Not the best example. It usually depends on whether or not the noun ends with an s to begin with. I hope this helps you! :D

the 's show possession of a single subject -- for example: the school's flag is on display in the Georgia Dome. the s' show possession of a plural subject -- for example: the schools' flags are on display in the Georgia Dome.

's denotes ownership, such as John's bike.
s denotes plural, such as stones compared to a stone.
