Get ready, on Sunday, March 7, it’s time for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. Bright lights, red carpets, and movie stars decked out in the latest styles. And some will be showing up with their canine companions. Some of the most popular films ever made have starred dogs. Hollywood has always capitalized on our love [...]
 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 February 13th, 2010 |
Comments (5) River, the elusive, vagabond dog we reported previously has been rescued. The cagey little pup gave up life on the run and is now safe and sound. She will be examined by a vet and a permanent home will be sought for her. She certainly gave residents out near Tucson’s Riliato River a run for [...] By Andrea, on February 7th, 2010 |
Comments (4) It’s Super Bowl Sunday! It’s the second biggest eating day of the year with parties galore, multi-million dollar commercials shown exclusively for the game, and this year’s half-time act is The Who. Even those like me who don’t know the difference between a touchdown and a field goal, will be watching the game on TV. But [...] 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. People watched as firefighters tossed flotation devices which proved useless, watch as the dog attempted to scale the steep side only to slide back down again until finally a firefighter was [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 25th, 2010 |
Comments (5) This was Jiffy a little over a year ago in December of 2008. The 11-year-old border collie weighed in at almost 120-lbs, about 70-lbs more than what he should have weighed. He was so obese and in such bad shape that when his owner let him outside, his mobility was so compromised that he could [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 15th, 2010 |
Comments (9) You all remember Trooper, the pitbull girl that was found stuffed in a garbage bag, wrapped with duct tape and tossed in a dumpster in Baltimore in August? Well, she’s recovered from her injuries and after some time spent at a special rescue at an undisclosed location where she and other dogfigthing victims have [...] 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. I shared the joys and tears and frustrations. A story like this takes you from the beginning to the end rather smoothly [...] By Admin - Deanna, on January 10th, 2010 |
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 [...] |
