The soft photonic skin was created by Stanford University researchers using patterns on its surface that are tiny than a human hair.

CBD Treats for Hyperactive Dogs: Promoting Calm and Focus. AI-Generated.
I have a confession. My Golden Retriever, Max, used to drive me absolutely nuts. I'm talking about the dog who would sprint laps around my living room at midnight, crash into furniture, bark at his own reflection, and somehow still have energy after a two-hour hike. My vet kept saying, "He's just a high-energy dog—he needs more exercise!" But here's the thing: I was already exercising him to death. There had to be something else going on.

Cubby - My first Best Friend. Content Warning.
This is the story about a girl [Jessie, illustrator of The Hound Who Saw, coming out near Easter 2026] who meets her furever first best friend. This is the story about Cubby. He was a burnise mountain dog, border collie mix. He was rescued at three years old, when his first furever family, fell apart. Mom and Dad of that family got divorced, and Dad took Cubby with him. From what we were told, where the man lived, he wasn't allowed to have the dog inside, so, he left him outside all the time. At one point the man stopped feeding him, and he became rather thin. We think when we got him, he was almost 35 pounds soaking wet [he was a little over a hundred pounds when he passed]. He was just shy of ten years old when he crossed the rainbow bridge. This goes out to all the first amazing pets anyone could ever have...
