dog
It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.
Calling
I opened my eyes and found myself sitting in darkness. Slightly dazed and confused, I tried to remember where I was and how I got there. I felt the soft, velvet fuzz of the couch on my fingers and realized I was home. I must have fallen asleep watching TV, I thought to myself as I tried to search for the remote control. Feeling my way around, I found it and anxiously pressed all the buttons on top hoping to turn on the TV. Nothing. “Maybe the power went out,” I whispered into the darkness as if expecting a response. Instead the echo of my voice made the room feel bigger and emptier than what it was. I felt a deep sense of loneliness and fear that I hadn’t had in years.

MY STORY ABOUT DOGS
Dogs bring so much joy and happiness to our lives. They are part of our family. They are so therapeutic. As a lonely teenager growing up in the mid-nineties, I longed for a dog companion. Due to my dyspraxia, I felt strongly that a dog would be ideal to overcome some of the problems I was facing. In 1993, I was diagnosed with dyspraxia. At school, I struggled to make friends and was often misunderstood. Dogs made me calmer. It was a great diversion from the problems I faced at the time. I felt dogs could understand and connect better with me whilst I interacted with them directly.

The Myth of an Alpha Role: What Dog Owners Need to Know
The myth of an alpha role is when you physically force your dog onto its side or back into a submissive position and hold it there. Ostensibly show dogs that you are the dominant one in the relationship and that they should defer to you.

Dogs I Knew Somewhere . Top Story - December 2021.
Part I – Rusty I remember a stray dog that had been taken in by my uncle, who lived in the farmyard across the road from our yard. I am not sure of the breed of the dog but he appeared to be a mix of some sort of Collie, with a dash of Spaniel and a sprinkling of Lab plus a light touch of sinister and evil. My uncle found him in a small bluff of marsh willows out in the pasture. The dog’s foot had been injured and he was obviously starving. Uncle Harry nursed him back to health and fed him until he had regained much of his lost weight. The dog naturally became very fond of my uncle and he followed him loyally around the farm and into the barn and out in the grain fields. He became my uncle’s protector and body-guard. If anyone so much as spoke loudly to my uncle or tried to sit in his favorite chair, the dog would intervene with a bark, a menacing growl and finally a little snap with his teeth. Because of this routine, the dog was eventually named, “Nipper”. Old Nipper had the run of the farm for a couple of years and became very skilled at killing rats and chasing escaped pigs back into the outside fenced enclosure.

Cuddle Bunny
Cuddle bunny, you are 13 years old, and dogs like you tend not to last much longer than that. If we make it to the end of January together, you'll be 14, and I'll be happy. If we make it to February of next year, you'll be 15, and I'll be even happier.

How I Met Daisy
Ever since I was a baby, there's always been at least one dog in my family. To be truthful, I can't even imagine what it would be like to have to live without a pet. Since I've always had one around, I can only imagine that it would have felt quite empty in the house. So, needless to say, there's a very special place in my heart for dogs.

A Boy and His Dog
The year was 2015. I had just moved into a house with my new wife and our 2 boys. I was just starting to come into my own in the career I had built, and I decided I wanted a dog of my own choosing. It was something I had missed my entire life. So I searched online for weeks. One day I came across an ad from a couple looking to rehome their American Bulldog. There were no pictures but I was intrigued. I drove to the family's home to meet their dog.
