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.

Badger did "Big Hup" Today!
Badger has had a year off since losing his eye to adjust to being a dog again. Since that time, he's lounged around the house or the kennel, taking brief walks on a leash, adjusting to walking in a straight line. Walking in a straight line has actually taken a lot of effort on his part, as his instinct was to drift in the direction that he could see or away from things by which he felt threatened. Heeling was a thing of the past. He either lagged behind me so that he could see me or ended up nearly to the end of his leash, several feet from my left leg because he brushed against me unexpectedly.

Why Pet Collars Matter More Than We Think
Domestic animals read the world through continuity. A collar or ID tag may look trivial to a human, but to a dog or a cat it can operate as an identity object. I have seen this pattern across enough households, shelters, and animal-welfare cases to know it is not coincidence. When an animal becomes distressed after its collar is removed, the reaction is almost always tied to safety, belonging, and recognition.

If your dog barks at night, don’t ignore it.
Night falls, and with it, silence—at least for most of the house. But for many dog owners, the silence is short-lived. Somewhere between the ticking of the clock and the rustling of the leaves outside, the barking begins. Loud, incessant, and often unexpected.
