Diesel the Rescue Dog

While we were wandering around the Stark County Fair yesterday, we saw a man walking this beautiful dog.  His name is Diesel, and he’s a mix of Boxer and Pit Bull.  Seems his new buddy, Dave, has a friend who works at the Humane Society.  Diesel was about to be put down, but Dave decided he needed a new friend.  What a great way to celebrate Labor Day weekend!

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

A Labor Day Tribute to Dogs

All Dogs Are Working Dogs

Some dogs listen to children read

Some dogs for blind people, lead

Some dogs protect the herds

Some dogs chase after birds

Some dogs guard hearth and home

Some dogs on the farm, roam

Some dogs just sit and listen

Some dogs keep the cats hissin’

Some dogs keep your lap warm

Some dogs stay in the dorm

Some dogs work with the cops

Some dogs are companions for Pops

Some dogs will lower your stress

Some dogs will clean up a mess

Some dogs care for the sick

Some dogs chase after a stick

There’s all kinds of work for a dog

They even come on your morning jog

When you need a helper or a friend

On your dog you can depend

In rain, sleet, snow, or fog

We can always count on our dog!

Tuesday Top Ten: Watch Dogs

Most of these dogs are from the terrier group, and all but the Airedale and the Standard Schnauzer are small in stature, but big in personality.

Keep in mind that the watch dog is NOT a guard dog.  The difference is that a watch dog will warn you there’s a stranger around, but a guard dog will go take care of the problem.

Obviously, this means that watch dogs will typically be barkers.  If you live in a small apartment or have close neighbors, you’ll want to think twice before getting one of these breeds.
