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. After all, dogs have the longest history of co-habitation with humans of any animal. Get a street dog. I was safe.

When I agreed to read and review Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's THE DOG WHO COULDN'T STOP LOVING (Harper 2010), the regal Charles Hobson Booger, III was still with us. He was adopted by the Masson family and was apparently the most loving dog all who met him had ever had the pleasure of being licked by. And the crying would never stop.

Do you have an older cat or dog sharing your home? And who can resist the precious gray muzzle of an older dog? For kittens and puppies, most any time is play time.

When we brought Baby home as a little puppy, we didn’t know about GW Little or these awesome poochie bells. We did train Baby to use a bell at the door when she needs to go out, but it isn’t nearly as pretty to look at as these poochie bells are. What about your dog? They are on our pet wish list.

I recently got a chance to read a book called Scent of the Missing: Love and Partnership with a Search-and-Rescue Dog. The book is an amazing and heartfelt look at the unique partnership and bond that search and rescue dogs have with their handlers. The book follows the story of Susannah and her dog Puzzle. Wow, and wow.

Some people are seeking purebred animals or puppies and think these are not available in shelters. Often these puppies or kittens are not placed in homes, and end up in the shelter. Puppies are great but often people are much happier getting a dog who is older, and whose size and temperament is a known quantity.

If you’re not willing to go through the trials of house-training a young puppy or kitten, opting for an older shelter animal is an easy option. Shift-It Tip: If you’re set on a purebred dog or cat, buy one from a rescue association instead of getting a pedigree from a breeder. Pets are the same way.

Socialize Your Dog to Other Dogs. Socialization is the single best predictor of a dog’s future personality. Well-socialized dogs are calm and unaggressive even in stressful situations. But socialization involves a lot more than just introducing your dog to a few random strangers every few weeks.

Violet Rays is not a kid dog. The growing little human in the house was basically taught to stay far away from dogs and respect their space.
