My dog used to hate bath time. She wasn’t as bad as some dogs who run away and hide, but she definitely required a lot of coaxing – and a lot of treats – to get her into the tub. From there she just looked so miserable standing still as we bathed her. She definitely […]
Some dogs surprisingly hate water. There are others who absolutely adore splashing around in the pool. One Great Dane called Max is one of those who loves to swim in the pool. Unfortunately for the big dog, he couldn’t go in the pool. The reason? His owner would not let him go in the pool […]
Sometimes we get a rough start in life. I’ve always been told it’s not how you start the race that counts, but how you finish it. One very touching story about a pit bull named Jake is definitely a perfect example of this. When Jake was just a tiny puppy, he was in a fire. […]
