It’s a heartbreaking story we’ve all heard far too many times. An innocent dog abandoned and forgotten on the cold city streets, waiting faithfully for owners who will never return. The pup, named Ollie-Loo by his rescuers, was discovered sitting on the curb amid the boxes and discarded furniture his owners left behind. He was curled up tightly on their old recliner, trying to keep warm. It is not clear if Ollie’s former owners were evicted from their Detroit … Read more
Siberian Huskies are energetic, fun, and sociable dogs. They are typically very healthy and interested in anything that you are.

Skin … Read more
Dogs are so incredibly varied in their personalities. While some scarf down any food scrap in sight, others have a more picky (or shall we say, “refined”) palate, and quickly tire of their everyday dog food. What can be done when your dog decides to stop eating their food, or is no longer excited about it? The Food Topper Craze and the Dangers of Many Food Toppers Food toppers have become incredibly popular in the pet food/treat industry in recent years, but the concept isn’t … Read more
The Pomeranian is a lively, intelligent breed that fills its home with cuteness and love. It’s no surprise that owners of these darlings are quite taken with them – even visitors are quickly won over with their teddy-bear faces and funny personalities.

If you’ve been wondering if there is something more you could be doing, here are 3 simple ways to … Read more

This past weekend a very pregnant mama Pit Bull was tossed into a dumpster like garbage by an unknown culprit.

The sweet pooch is being called Mary in honor of her miraculous holiday birth story. One chilly … Read more
I’ve been holding off on buying a Roomba. Not because I enjoy pushing around a heavy, awkward vacuum cleaner or emptying out ten pounds of dog hair every other day. I don’t have a Roomba because I’m pretty sure at least one of my three dogs would have an absolute meltdown over it. The Chihuahua mix would probably break a tooth (or five) trying to attack it. The Poodle mix would be too terrified to move, and my Lab/Hound … Read more

The city of Billings, Montana is a dream destination for dogs. On top of all the gorgeous walking trails and scenic parks, several restaurants and businesses also cater to the pooches.

They probably do it because they love their … Read more
Because we want the best for our dogs, we often project our own preferences on our furkids. This includes our preference for certain kinds and qualities of meat. We humans tend to associate organ meats with low quality. In other words, it’s the stuff that’s left over at the butcher that no one wants to buy. Dogs however, and their wolf ancestors, disagree completely. Without going into too much gruesome detail, when a wolf kills in the wild, they often go after … Read more

When it comes to living with dogs, there are many different opinions on how to raise them, treat them, house them, and train them.

In fact, many even agree that there are some basic commands that should be taught to all dogs, and we’d like to share … Read more

According to OP’s Imgur account, … Read more
