It’s sad enough when someone gets a dog and then confines it to a chain or yard all it’s life but can someone in their right mind possibly tell me why anyone would get a puppy then stick it in a closet to live for 8 or 10 months until it died from the heat? [...]
 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 (43) In January, I told you about Azure, a beautiful pitbull that was attacked by her owner’s boyfriend and stabbed 7 times with a sword. Azure’s owner, Erin Lup, also a victim of the violence, took Azure to Alicia Pet Care Center in Mission Viejo where staff did everything necessary to care for the injured puppy.

Comments (3) Far too often dogs that are seized in dog fighting raids have no chance. Usually quickly deemed aggressive, they are euthanized. For four dogs seized from suspected dog fighters in Delta, CO, the story will have a much different… and happier ending! These beautiful pitties will be going to professional trainers then given a chance [...] By Admin - Deanna, on July 30th, 2009 |
Comments (4) Even in this tight economy, many people still want their furry family members pampered and cared for, especially when they are on vacation enjoying themselves. They want to know that Fido is also having a good time so they can too. A casino in San Diego County has partnered with a kennel to provide just [...] By Admin - Deanna, on July 30th, 2009 |
Comments (9) Just short of two weeks ago a sad story came out of Kentucky. The Smith family’s newborn infant, AJ, was taken from his crib by the family dog, a wolf-hybrid or American Indian dog, Dakota. The family found the baby, still in Dakota’s mouth, about 20 minutes after she took him, in a wooded area [...] By Admin - Deanna, on July 29th, 2009 |

Comments (1) In yet another quirky study involving dogs, a study from the Brigham Young University shows that infants as young as 6 months old can actually “read” dogs moods and get a handle on their emotions even if they’ve had no previous exposure to dogs. It always amazes me what we can learn from our canine [...] By Admin - Deanna, on July 28th, 2009 |

Comments (2) Five years ago, Clyde was a stray, a homeless dog that was picked up by the Humane Society sitting in a cage, scared and with an uncertain future. Now Clyde is a star, of sorts anyway. He’s staring as Toto in the Fort Lauderdale Children’s Treater production od “Wizard of Oz” and has taken to [...] By Admin - Deanna, on July 28th, 2009 |
Comments (3) Just imagine the heartbreak of your best friend being missing. When you first find out, your heart stops for a minute and then your pulse races, your frantic and worried.
