 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 (2) As holiday preparations are in full swing it’s time to take a moment to think about holiday decoration pet hazards.

Comments (18) Most people don’t realize how scary and actually dangerous Halloween can be for our pets. They tend to think of it as just a mostly fun filled entrée to Fall for children and adults alike but what about our furry companions?

Comments (1) Everyone’s heard of CPR and there’s probably even quite a few people who know that CPR can be used to pets as well as people but how many people actually know how to administer pet CPR?

Comments (2) I’ve written numerous time about blue-green algae which can be toxic, even deadly, to both dogs and humans. It seems to be cropping up right now in the midwest and although no humans have been seriously sickened by it, it has killed at least six dogs so far. Blue green algae naturally occurs in waters [...] By Admin - Deanna, on September 26th, 2009 |
Comments (21) When I first did the story about the dogfighting ring that was uncovered at a home day care center in Maywood, IL, I was surprised that one of the suspects was only charged with a misdemeanor.
