I know, I usually feature a dog from a small shelter shown on Petfinder, but I blogged earlier in the week about Rocky, a retired and disabled military dog who was going to be put down if no one took him. (Someone did, thank goodness.) But I think this organization is well worth the space I’m going to give it today.
There are three things that get me choked up: babies, dogs, and veterans. Pets for Patriots involves at least two of them.
I posted earlier this week about Rocky, a disabled and retired military war dog who needed to be adopted. Camp Pendleton was apparently overrun with requests to adopt the distinguished 3-tour veteran of Iraq.
I’ve personally never taken in a differently-abled dog (my kids are enough of a handful!) Would you adopt a dog with special needs? Keep in mind these are the dogs most often euthanized when they wind up in shelters.

This is just too cute not to share!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
UPDATE: Rocky was saved today! Trying to get details. Please read below for more info. Pets for Patriots can still use your support!
This is such a sad story – makes me wish I didn’t already have a houseful. Rocky served three tours in Iraq between 2004 and 2007. His last handler was killed in action, so Rocky was brought back to the States and has been cared for by other members of the unit. However, now that his back legs are failing, the military will have to put him down unless someone adopts him by August 24th. Continue reading Urgent Plea for Home for Retired Military Dog / UPDATED!
Just found out Blue Mountain is now offering cards that you can add to your Facebook wall, rather than e-mailing to a specific person. They have so many cute dog cards, I wanted to make sure you knew about this. Click here to see the whole card that is thumbnailed above.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

This is Stewey the bulldog, who I met today. I took his picture to put a dog-related spin on something I wanted to blog about that has absolutely nothing to do with dogs. You see, this morning I stood on my local high school’s steps along with many of my neighbors to honor a fallen hero.

I posted earlier this week about a dog who has been cloned in South Korea, whose genetics include something to make the dog glow when he is fed certain antibiotics. Researchers think they can use the same technology to find a cure for certain human diseases. So, does that make cloning ethical?

Now those are some big paws!
