Saturday Survey: Does Your Dog Like Kids?
We’ve all seen movies or pictures where young children tumble on an impossibly green lawn (free of dog poop), frolicking with a litter of puppies. The reality, however, isn’t always that pretty. Puppies nip. Children pull tails. So, how does your dog do around children?

Today, I received a review copy of Jon Franklin’s new book, “The Wolf in the Parlor: The Eternal Connection Between Humans and Dogs.” I didn’t have a chance to start reading it yet, but thought you might be interested in the jacket blurb.

Dogs Chained Outside
Several news sources today had articles about the inappropriateness of keeping your dog chained outside.
Think about it: if you are using your dog as a guard for your home, how can he protect anything if he can’t get loose from the tree to which you have him tethered?
