When Good Dogs Do Bad Things ~ A Day In The Life Of A Rescue -
 - Camille Strate (1,332)  
Camille Strate 
Two weeks ago, I made the very 'brave' decision to bring a very battered dog home. He was found limping along a typical Southern California freeway (by that I mean BUSY. FAST. FURIOUS) by another woman who couldn't keep him. I found him via a post she'd made on CraigsList. I wasn't really... ( added 1 year 196 days ago.) |

Avis Ward
The number of healthy dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies that are euthanized (killed) each day in the United States is almost too big for the average person to comprehend.

Dogs Are Smarter Than You Think! -
Dean Hall (22)
Just because your wonder dog can't "talk" to you in your language of
choice doesn't mean a lack of intelligence. While the experts argue

eyes.
