Dog Puppy Guide

 
Other than the part about the grandmother not letting the bee-covered dog inside to escape the swarm, this is a pretty cool little story. The boy clearly cares deeply for his dog, whom he’ll always consider his hero.
Dogsters, do you think the puppy somehow knew the boy would react severely to the bees, or [...]

Yes, this is Courage, glowing and happy at 85 pounds!

Dogsters, do you remember Courage, the German shepherd who was chained to a tree with no food and water in back of a Southern California home for five weeks? We posted on this poor boy several times after the story broke in April. He was [...]

Wow! That’s all I can say! Except this: How do handlers differentiate between a normal “too-curious dog” sniff (You know — the kind you try not to let your dog do when he meets new people…) and a “Hey! He’s hiding a phone in a very weird place” sniff?
P.S. Are these dogs for hire when [...]

The weekend is almost here! Time for a little rest, relaxation, and recreation. Here’s a little question for you: Who is this Silver-Screen star, who looks like she has found an admiring — and admirable — doubles partner?

These incredible dogs function as a kind of Canine Coast Guard off the shores of Italy, where beaches gets crowded in the summer, and  thousands of swimmers need rescuing. Here, dogs from the Scuola Italiana Cani Salvataggio (Italian School of Canine Lifeguards) practice a rescue operation. The dog pulling his friends does this in real [...]

Delving into the history of dogs and cats in America can be a heart-wrenching journey, particularly when you read of how they were treated prior to any animal cruelty laws or before there were any homeless shelters.
The descendants of those trailblazers lead a much different life however, (that is those who have a warm hearth to curl up by), they benefit from [...]

It's Martha's Vineyard for Bo and the First Family, a 10 day vacation on the beautiful island retreat. The President and his daughters stopped in at a local bookstore to pick-up some good vacation reads today: "Freedom" by  Jonathan Franzen for him, and "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, and "The Red Pony" by John Steinbeck for the [...]

Since 1992, on the third Saturday of every August, the International Society for Animals Rights (ISAR) sponsors events all over the world to bring attention to the pet overpopulation epidemic and its simple solution: spaying & neutering.
