Earlier in the week, we featured a story about a paraplegic dog whose owner faithfully walked him every day, using a special harness to compensate for the dog’s disability. I’m not sure I would be able to keep up with that, which got me to wondering what people do when their dogs become crippled.
The big news this week was the 2013 National Dog Show from the Philadelphia Kennel Club. Of course, we know the judge picked the American Foxhound as Best in Show. What do you think? Did the right dog win?

Those against BSL say there are no bad breeds, only bad breeders and owners who teach their dogs to be aggressive and / or dangerous.
