 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 (7) Happy Presidents Day! We have another “presidential” dog here. A mixed breed that belonged to Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln is consistently considered by scholars the greatest U.S. President. He led our country through the American Civil War, ended slavery, and declared Thanksgiving a Holiday! But he can also be considered America’s first true Animal Rescuer. Abraham Lincoln was a sensitive [...] By Andrea, on January 30th, 2010 |
Comments (12) How this little German Shepherd mix got stuck on an ice floe adrift on the Baltic sea is not known. But what we do know is that the crew of the Sea Fisheries Institute in Poland quickly snatched this boy from what could have been a lonely, freezing, and horrible death. Just this past Monday, [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 25th, 2010 |
Comments (19) Last Friday, an amazing rescue of a dog trapped in the flooded Los Angeles River had people transfixed as it was broadcast live.

Comments (12) My friends, today I want to share with you a touching piece written by a rescuer but I warn you, have your tissues ready….

It all started [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 13th, 2010 |
Comments (30) This wonderful Rescue Tale is from our own Susie – Sue Horn. I was lucky to be able to live this through from start to finish with her if only vicariously through emails.

Comments (13) So often I hear from people, “I’m just one person, I can’t do anything,” and I wonder if people really know just how strong and powerful “just one person” can be. This story isn’t only about “just one dog,” it’s also about “just one person” because that’s all it took to get the ball rolling [...] By Andrea, on January 8th, 2010 |
Comments (16) Out in Tucson, Arizona, along the Rillito River lives a vagabond dog appropriately named “River”. River has been a big concern with animal lovers and advocates for awhile. She is somewhat shy – very wary of people. She wears a collar so she must have once had a home. No one knows if she was [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 3rd, 2010 |
Comments (4) Saturday night was a scary night that could have been much worse for an 11-year-old British Columbia, Canada boy if not for the courage of his faithful family dog, Angel. Austin Forman was outside with Angel, an 18-month-old Golden Retriever, getting some wood when he saw something charging at him. “I was really scared. At first, [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 31st, 2009 |
