Lost Dog Saves Boy’s Life
PawNation is reporting on a dog who was being fostered after running away from home. While the dog was in foster care, one of his human companions, who happens to have Downs Syndrome, experienced a seizure.
In true Lassie fashion, the dog was able to attract the attention of the boy’s mother and lead her to the boy in time to save his life! Pretty darn impressive!
Read the whole story (much more eloquently told) here.
Kudos to all involved for making the right decisions about the family and the dog!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog.

101 Things About Dogs E-book Is Here!!!
The long-awaited (by me, anyways) publication of my book as an e-book download is finally a reality! That’s right, you can now download your very own copy of “101 Things You Should Know Before Getting a Dog: A Little Instruction Book for Prospective Dog Guardians” right here, right now!
It took us awhile to get the site set up to accept payments securely and to get the book to download properly, but it is now ready for your purchase.
As some of you know, the book was published first in softcover (available here), but it is pretty expensive to do the color printing. So, we wanted to find a way to get this valuable resource in your hands at a more reasonable price – just $9.95.
Click here to be taken to the sales page for the e-book. Be sure to let us know what you think!
Thanks.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Why do dogs eat grass?
For the most part, dogs are meat-loving carnivores. In fact, their jaws aren’t even made to move any way other than up and down, making it impossible for them to grind up grains in their teeth. So, why do they insist on eating grass?
Hachi: A Dog’s Story
I’m not sure when this is due out, but Richard Gere is now publicizing his new movie, called “Hachi: A Dog’s Story”. I don’t know whether this is based on a true story or on an urban legend, but the Japanese feel very strongly about the dog known as Hachiko.
Saturday Survey: Your dog and fireworks
Happy 233rd, America!
As we look forward to all of the fireworks displays scheduled for tonight, it made me wonder about how your dogs feel about fireworks. My dogs are terrified of the noise, so I never leave them outside during the displays, but I know many people who take their dogs to the park to be closer to the action. Take our poll below and tell us what your dogs do when they hear fireworks.
