Sadly, too many people don’t realize what it really takes to be responsible dog and/or pet owners and too often when they find out they seldom think twice abut dumping the dog for one reason or another and the reason are endless but the result is the same. The dog, that thinking, sentient, feeling [...]
 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.

These costs can easily run into the thousands and more for shelters, rescues, rehab facilities and owners, especially with the time between the incident and [...] By Deanna, on March 13th, 2012 | Comments (8) As far back as 2007, shortly after I started FTLTD, I was advocating for an animal abuse registry. There’s a registry for sexual offenders so why not for animal abusers? Especially when you consider the fact that most serious violent criminals start off abusing animals and that it has been proven again and again that individuals who [...] By Deanna, on March 9th, 2012 | Comments (25) 22 Year-Old Joshua Moore Seems 22-year-old Joshua Moore and a 13-year-0ld unnamed teen thought it would be fun and amusing to abuse and torture a mother dog and her puppies, video tape the cruelties and post it to YouTube. Numerous reports were made to the police after the videos were posted and an investigation ensued, Chicago [...] By Deanna, on March 8th, 2012 | Comments (6) After years of allegations of abuse, promises of reform and now a 3 month undercover investigations, finally some arrests at Memphis Animal Shelter.

Video from February of this year has come to light showing images that are just painful to watch! [...] By Deanna, on March 6th, 2012 | Comments (6) Starved and emaciated, this skin and bones beagle-mix was rescued on Route 88 in Stockton, PA by a Good Samaritan driving by. Dubbed “Shine” by the Washington Area Humane Society because of his will to live, he weighed only 21-pounds when he should weigh in the neighborhood of 45-pounds. “Shine is the name because we [...] By Andrea, on November 9th, 2011 | Comments (20) UPDATE: A Wayne County judge late today signed an emergency injunction preventing Detroit Animal Control from euthanizing ANY pit bulls until a hearing on November 16th. That’s what it’s going to be for Ace the pitbull. A sick, emaciated pitbull wandered into a Detroit Ace Hardware store on November 4th. Store owners called [...] By Andrea, on September 1st, 2011 | Comments (26)
I love India. India has the beauty of everything…deserts, forests, oceans, mountains, lakes, and rivers. I love the vivid colors and artwork. I adore Indian food. I have a several Indian cook books and a big picture book of Indian street food with recipes. I have been fascinated with India for a long, long [...] By Andrea, on May 20th, 2011 | Comments (9) Oh you all know how much I love lost, vagabond dogs. And community efforts to feed, water them and to save them from harm. Some are successful, some are not. Some dogs eventually give up their life on the run for a meal and a bed in a loving home like River and Phantom. Some, [...] |
