Mayor Cheye Calvo, whose dogs were killed in a botched SWAT raid is pushing for legislation to help prevent that from happening again. This is not the first time something like this has happened nor is MD the only place it has happened. Far too often in police raids dogs are the victims of [...]
 Dog Lover & Proud Pet Parent Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.  Andrea Rosebrock Andrea has come onboard FTLTD to help out by contributing some stories and following-up with her "Justice Round-Up" series. For the Love of the Dog is my small effort to do that.

Comments (20) Last April after the house in Barnegat, NJ had been abandoned for at least 6 months, after a concerned neighbor called, both police and a Fannie Mae mortgage company rep showed up at the house at 21 Potomac Court to foreclose, they found more than they ever expected, a scene from hell. Inside the house were [...] By Admin - Deanna, on March 31st, 2009 |
Comments (11) In a New Castle, PA neighborhood, Larry Tanner was cleaning brush when he discovered a horrific scene, two pitbulls with heavy chains and collars, chained to a tree, starved to death. Food and water bowls were placed just inches from their reach. The dogs had died a horrible painful long suffering death. The house on the property [...] By Admin - Deanna, on March 30th, 2009 |
Comments (4) This past weekend Nightline broadcast a Puppy Mill Investigation segment and if you didn’t have a chance to see it, you can view it below. I have to say, all in all, I am rather disappointed. I expected something much more hard hitting. People who view this may walk away with a very unrealistic view [...] By Admin - Deanna, on March 30th, 2009 |
Comments (5) Look at this sweet Newfoundland. Can you imagine someone just abandoning him in the Lincoln Woods in RI? He’s sick and in need of medical help but was left to fend for himself. Luckily, a Good Samaritan found the dog while walking her own and called animal control who picked him up. The dog, named Marshal, [...] By Admin - Deanna, on March 30th, 2009 |
Comments (5) This is a little unusual but it gave me such a tickle I had to share it. Anyone out there with tiny pooches? Want a quick pooch sweater? You might get a kick out of this. By Admin - Deanna, on March 30th, 2009 |
Comments (7) Last May, Bilbo, an almost 200-lb 7-year-old Newfoundland, was banned from the beach in Sennen, near Land’s End in Cornwall, UK. Now Bilbo is not just a dog, he is a lifesaver, credited with saving at least three lives and lifeguard who had to pass fitness and swimming tests before he could join the [...] By Admin - Deanna, on March 28th, 2009 |
Comments (10) Most vets say brushing your dog’s teeth is one of the best things you can do for your pooch. So, do you? Honestly, I’ve tried but Jezz is just not impressed and Bruti tried to eat the toothbrush. So I make due with dental chews and stuff like that. Luckily it seems to be working [...] By Admin - Deanna, on March 28th, 2009 |
Comments (13) San Diego County Animal Services are investigating whether a man committed a crime when he used a hammer or hammer-type object and bludgeoned a dog that had been hit by cars. When police arrived at the scene, the dog was still alive but hurt so badly they had to shoot her to put her out [...] By Admin - Deanna, on March 27th, 2009 |
Comments (12) Now this is a very special story for me that I wanted to share for a couple of reasons. First is because it is from one of our very own readers and friends here and secondly, because I was actually “there” through the past few months when much of the most recent took place. This [...] |
