Sometimes we really don’t deserve dogs. They are truly wonderful animals who love us unconditionally and want to help us out in whatever way they can. Most of the time that help comes in the form of comfort when we are upset. Many of us who have dogs know that when you’re crying, there is […]
We got my dog Bonita from the pound. She was an all-black cocker spaniel-poodle mix. As a kid who was quite fond of reading, I spent that summer in the library reading up on everything I could find about cocker spaniels and poodles. One of the things that I remember reading about cocker spaniels is […]
As dog owners, we’ve probably invested plenty of time watching The Dog Whisperer. We all need help being the pack leader. Most of us who enjoy The Dog Whisperer have probably even gotten into his limited series, Cesar Solves the Case. And as many of us know, when it comes to dogs and their bad […]
Nathan is a homeless man from Sydney, Australia who has been sleeping rough outside a Hungry Jack’s. His constant companion is his beloved dog, Shaggy. The adorable older pup went missing from the Circular Quay area after Nathan went to go use the public bathrooms. Nathan had only been gone about two and a half […]

Earlier this summer at the end of June, I had to dog sit for a friend. Lockdown in Dublin had just been lifted and she was traveling down to the countryside to check in on her parents that she hadn’t seen all of quarantine. She couldn’t bring her little pup with her, so I volunteered […]
Imagine going out on a lovely hike in the mountains with your dog only to have your dog fall into a crevasse and become stuck. That describes any dog owner’s worst-case scenario. Most of us couldn’t imagine ever experiencing something as scary as that – especially since you don’t know whether or not you’ll ever […]
Dear Cesar, I have three dogs that bark like crazy whenever the doorbell rings, and they have been a challenge. To correct them, we have been ringing the doorbell, flipping them over, and growling in their faces to let them know it is not how they should act. Is there anything else I can do […]
How many of us have home pride? There is something nice about being able to show off our abodes. Many of us are proud of where we live and the care and efforts that we put into fixing up our place. No matter how big or small our space might be, it’s the heart and […]
