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!

My friends, today I want to share with you a touching piece written by a rescuer but I warn you, have your tissues ready….
From Dog, “Dear God”
Dear God,
God I don’t understand you put me here with unconditional love, I thought the most intelligent of your creatures, the humans, would be the same way.
It all started [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Christmas is for humans, and I will not ruin the
surprises by opening all their presents.
Christmas light bulbs, Christmas ornaments, Christmas
stockings, and tinsel from the Christmas tree are not food.
I am the alpha dog, therefore I do not need to protect
my new Christmas rawhide from the omega dog by
taking it [...]

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 [...]

Everyone knows how vicious and dangerous those pitbulls can be and someone put together this highly enlightening list of ten reason why you just cannot trust a pitbull. Please be sure to take note and keep these in mind, especially if you share your home with one of these “vicious” dogs!

This one is a special favorite of mine and I’ve shared it before but am sharing it again by special request. A dear friend asked that I post it because we all need to be reminded that the love of our dear companion animals, the beloved canine, is not something new. Dogs have been loved, [...]

They Put me to sleep today,
Because you didn’t treat me right,
They put me to sleep today,
Because you didn’t teach me right,
They put me to sleep today,
Because I was afraid and decided to fight back.
They put me to sleep today,
Cause instead of a good dog, you gave me [...]
