No dog is happier to be rescued. She put a dog bed outside with some food and water, and I’d see her checking on me about every five minutes. We dogs are wired by nature to be humans’ companions. It’s the result of thousands of years of breeding. But there’s a special bond between a dog and its human rescuer.

As a breed, pit bulls have a bad rap. Like every dog they are vulnerable to homelessness and mistreatment. However, they are more vulnerable to being forced into fighting than other breeds. Aside from the breed’s abuses, one finds that adopting out this breed is highly difficult.

You may recall that Massachusetts voters let their opinions about dog racing be heard when they voted to ban racing in their state. Rhode Island's only dog track, Twin River, will be "suspending" dog racing. And not every dog's career ends in death or broken bones. Some get adopted into great homes.

Here's a great question I received via direct message on Twitter ( www.twitter.com/mary_martin ): "Do you think that even if Obama had adopted a shelter dog-it still may have caused a run on breeders? Yes, the demand for dogs like Bo will increase, and that's a problem. Would it matter?" That's what I'd like to think.

I myself have 2 cats (from cats protection) and a dog (from RACR – small rescue based in Nottingamshire) The dog was the easier adoption as I got her through the site so therefore my homecheck was already valid and I was able to keep her for 3 weeks before making a final decision to make sure she got along with the cats and children.

Cats, particularly representatives of individual breeds, can vary dramatically – from quiet, gentle little homebodies to personality-plus party animals. Likewise, some on-the-go breeds, such as the Burmese need a lot of exercise and attention. Some breeds, like the Burmese, traditionally take living with other pets in stride.
