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.
The Value of Investing in Quality Dog Training
Most parents would agree that by investing in the best possible education, their kids would receive as many benefits as possible, which would in the long run help them get better jobs. Most people, parents or not, who work are quite familiar with the value of professional training and development. It is often necessary to acquire new skills and knowledge in order to either get promoted or even keep the job. So, can the same be said about dog training?

All Dogs Go to Heaven
Hi, I'm Violet. I'm 18-years-old. It's been three years since my American Pit Bull Terrier, Buddy passed away. I was only three-years-old when we got him. He was brought to us by my cousin. She used to live in an apartment and Buddy was owned by a family who abused him. My cousin was going to move out when she decided to take him away. Unfortunately, she wasn't allowed to have pets at her new home so she immediately looked for someone to keep him. Nobody wanted him. Maybe it was because he was a big dog or maybe a reason as dumb as because of the breed he was. Whatever the reason, I'm honestly unaware. My cousin then asked my mom if we could keep him but we lived in an apartment that also accepted no pets so my mom said no. My mom then realized it was getting harder for my cousin to find him a home and we have always been a family that hates seeing animals at shelters. My mom decided to take him in. She says it was really hard having to hide him from the landlord but we were committed to giving him the loving home he deserved. I'm always told stories about how I used to mess with his floppy ears and lie on him, and all he'd do is simply lay there dealing with it. There's not much more I can say since I was basically a baby at the time but what I can say is, I absolutely loved him from the start. A lot of people were afraid of him just because he was a pit bull.

What Breed Is Your Dog, Really? Find Out with Embark
If you really think about it, there's no such thing as a purebred dog. Every dog breed is actually made of a mixture of older (possibly extinct) dog breeds, plus dogs that carry some new traits that are considered desirable by breeders.

Roxy reflected with happiness all the memories she shared with her human family as well as the many other fur-babies living with her and her family. The times she shared with all of them was rare and special. Roxy loved and cherished every one of those moments. She knew her time was coming to an end, but she also knew she had lived a full and happy life, constantly surrounded by family who loved her unconditionally.

Snapshot of a Dog
My dad sent me a photo of our old dog, Bonzo, he found while going through boxes of old pictures. It was a later picture of him, I could tell by how fat he was. Nobody has been able to accurately figure out what breed he was. My dad came closest with a German Shepard mutt, but my brother’s, “a big one,” and my mom’s, “a stupid one,” seem just as accurate. The photo shows him lying in his usual spot at my grandma’s house on the faded orange shag carpet right next to the front door, waiting for someone to open it and accidentally hit him. During the later years of his life, it seemed like he had become one with the carpet. Laying down whenever we would get to her house, only getting up whenever we would fill up his bowl at meal times. This was far from the dog that had run around the house just years prior.

The Love Languages of Dogs
I have been working as a dog-walker for only a few months. I have always been a diehard dog fanatic, but through my work life, I've been introduced to a broader range of canine personalities than I even knew existed before. Growing up with a Golden Retriever mix, I became used to the idea that all dogs flipped out with glee at the mention of a W-A-L-K, died and went to Heaven (metaphorically speaking) at dinner time, and couldn't wait 'til the next time they got to lick your face.

Floppy-Eared Love
Dear Readers, I figured I would be a little lighter this time, so I decided to write about my baby girl Gremlin. Now that isn’t her real name, but I do call her that due to this face she gives me when she wants something from me (usually food or extra room on the bed).
