Seven months is a long time to be separated from your best friend. For the bargain basement price of an implanted microchip, reunification was possible.
Make sure your dogs ALWAYS have an ID tag and / or a microchip! I recommend both because the average person on the street won’t have the capability to scan for a chip, but can easily contact you from the ID tags when your dog is found.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
I love sharing these videos from Hope for Paws. I am continually amazed by their patience and care in picking up scared and injured dogs who have never known the gentle touch of a loving human. Check out their YouTube Channel, Facebook page, and website for more information on this wonderful organization, founded by two people with a passion for rescuing dogs.

Don’t they screen these people? Such a sad story! I hope they sentence this monster appropriately. Although I’m not sure what would be appropriate – maybe let him live in a cage and get held in a choke-hold every once in awhile?
Two other employees pled guilty to animal cruelty charges last year. Archie Elliot III was sentenced to two years in prison, while Frank Lightfoot was sentenced to just 20 days. Charges were dismissed against the former director of the shelter and his administrative assistant. The shelter’s veterinarian was acquitted.
The Examiner has been following the story from the beginning.
I’ll try and update you as to the sentencing when it is held.

Good day, and good dog!
Isn’t it amazing what a little love can do? This is truly what it’s all about.

Although tornadoes like the ones that recently hit Oklahoma don’t usually come with enough warning to allow you to evacuate, there are many other disasters such as hurricanes that you can escape from.

Our friends at Vetstreet had the good sense to put together a very nice list of organizations that are reaching out to help animal victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes. If you’d like to donate, here is their list. [Please note: The links to each organization didn’t come over, so I am including a link to the original Vetstreet article, where you can simply click through to the various places.]

Remember, Pit bulls don’t kill people. People who mistreat pit bulls kill people.

Remember the man who wanted to get his dog out of the shelter, but couldn’t afford to do so? By the time funds were raised to take care of the fine and shelter fee, the man was nowhere to be found.
This story was big on Facebook. So big, in fact, that I wasn’t even sure it was a true story.
However, as this news piece shows, not only was it true, it also had a happy ending! The man and his dog, Buzz Lightyear, were recently reunited through the kindness of strangers.
The bad news came a day or so later, when the dog’s owner began berating the Good Samaritan to release the rest of the donated money directly to him. She is unwilling to do so because she feels he will spend it not on the dog but on his alleged drug habit. So, now he is threatening to sue her.
So, here’s our Saturday Survey: what should be done with the money?

Came across this on Facebook – what a sweet video. Enjoy!
Kudos to START rescue and this very patient man for taking the time to care.
(FYI, this was filmed a year or two ago. I don’t know that the pups have all been adopted already, but I’d imagine they have been.)
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
If you happen to live in northeast Ohio, you may have heard about Herbie, a starving Pit Bull found in the city of Lorain last weekend. He was in such bad shape he could barely stand, weighing in at just 25 pounds when he was found.
