 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! All articles on this site, unless otherwise attributed, are copyrighted to and property of Deanna Raeke.

 Comments (15) Here’s a heartwarming story I came across and thought would be special to share. It’s a tale we wish for all shelter dogs 365 days of the year. Not just at Christmas. Merry Christmas, and may all your wishes come true. “Did you hear that?” the old dog shouted. They all ran to the front of their [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 21st, 2009 |
Comments (13) Sometimes when you catch a story, you’re not quite sure whether to class it as good news or bad and this is one of those. A dog disappears, the dog returns a week later with a gunshot wound that could have killed her and in the end, at least for David Lechen and his [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 19th, 2009 |
Comments (5) This is one of my favorites and just too cute not to share every year at this time. Although this specifies a puppy I can tell you that you will run into the same problems with any fun-loving, playful dog, no matter how old. I have taken to doing anything [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 16th, 2009 |
Comments (11) As you gather this holiday season to spend time with friends and family and your own beloved furry family members, take just a moment to think of those dogs and cats who sit alone and unwanted, with just the barest of necessities. Gather up some old blankets and towels, maybe grab an extra bag of treats [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 14th, 2009 |
Comments (3) The holidays are usually a wonderful and exciting time for family and friends but for family pets it can be scary, stressful and dangerous. Lots of unusual activity, new sounds, scents, people, things around the home; all of this can be traumatic to your furry family member. Dogs thrive on routine so here’s a few [...] By Andrea, on December 13th, 2009 |
Comments (2) I hope everyone has read Deanna’s article on giving live pets as presents (Live Gifts – Instructions Not Included). It’s a good article on the dangers of giving live pets as gifts and should be sent to anyone contemplating giving an animal as a gift. Even Uncle Harold. Christmas puppies often are impulse purchases, given with [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 10th, 2009 |
Comments (5) A wiggly pup waits beneath a Christmas tree. A teeny kitten brightens the Hanukkah festival. Nothing stirs the warm fuzzies more than a furry addition to the family. In fact, marketers urge shoppers to wrap Fido or Fluffy in red ribbons, for the perfect holiday present. But when the bows come off, an animal stumbles into [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 8th, 2009 |
Comments (7) Christmas is for humans, and I will not ruin the Christmas light bulbs, Christmas ornaments, Christmas I am the alpha dog, therefore I do not need to protect By Admin - Deanna, on December 6th, 2009 |
Comments (4) October 22, 2009 marked the one year anniversary that High Caliber K-9, a center for dog training, grooming and boarding located in Youngstown, Ohio, that was raided by local law enforcement. The gruesome discovery of seven dead and 12 starving dogs by humane agents helped serve as the catalyst for proposed Ohio H.B. 70. For more [...] By Admin - Deanna, on December 5th, 2009 |
Comments (5) Generally I love the holidays and Christmas is always special, filled with memories of years gone by but every year there is one thing I dread; knowing that a few months after Christmas, many, many or those adorable puppies and kittens that were met with such joy and delight under the Christmas tree will grace [...] |
