My Mission Deanna Raeke 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. Please, won't you help me!

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.

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 [...]
