Hachi DVD is now out

March 12, 2010

HachiI posted several months ago about the movie being made with Richard Gere about the story of Hachi, but I never saw it come out in theaters.  Maybe it premiered to less-than-favorable crowds and wasn’t shown in my area, but I saw a commercial last night stating that  the DVD and Blue-Ray disc are now available.

Your Dog’s Role

January 28, 2010

USA Today recently reported on a survey commissioned by Bissell Homecare and done by Kelton Research.  The survey asked 650 pet owners what role their pet played in their lives.

66% reported the pet was their best friend (not sure what this says about the quality of human friends / spouses / significant others)

59% said the pet was a snuggle buddy (this is my Cooper, to a T)

37% used the pet as a guardian (does this mean the dog is guarding the house or that the dog is controlling the person’s finances & looking out for his/her well-being?)

33% viewed the pet as a child (this would fit my brother)

25% saw the pet as therapist (maybe Snoopy should have been in Lucy’s psychiatry booth)

Come back Saturday when we’ll p0se the same question to you, our valued readers.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
