This is my week to work our community festival sourrounding the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement. As with any large gathering, this one involves a police presence to keep the crowd in line. So, tonight I got to meet Buford, one of the most beautiful German Shepherds I’ve ever seen. He works with Patrolman Gilmore of the Canton Police Department. He let Buford out for a romp and a potty break in the area where I was working, so I asked to take a picture to share with you. Thanks, Patrolman Gilmore and Buford!

Tragic! Seven Dogs Die After American Airlines Flight
Tuesday was not a good day to be a dog aboard American Airlines flight 851 from Tulsa to Chicago.

The Psychiatrist is In: 5-cents
OK, since it is now Wednesday, I thought it would be a good time to follow up on Monday’s post about a dog named Tuesday. I stumbled across this article from the Wall Street Journal while I was looking for something else. If you watched the third video attached to Monday’s post, you learned a bit about Tuesday, a dog who helps veteran Luis Carlos Montalvan deal with severe PTSD. Here’s “The Rest of the Story.”

He is going to need an owner that is experienced in handling large breed dogs and behavioral issues. Clyde’s unsure of strangers – once he knows you, he’s a big baby.

Saturday Survey: Does Your Dog Like Car Rides?
One of the advantages of our taking Cooper to Bow Wow Beach a few times is that he now looks forward to getting into his crate in the car. We used to have to shove, cajole, and otherwise force him in. However, he still gets sick nearly every time he rides more than about an hour.
