From all the responses I’ve replied, this was the human-heart melting submission I received. Manzini Animal Hospital, at 4423 Margaret Street in Port Alberni, BC, really truly LOVES their staff. “The only thing I could say about our clinic, is all our staff are special to us and we would not like to feature any single person. We all have our ...

Dog Hero – Eve

Heroic Animals give me the warm fuzzies all over. Should we re-name this from #TrooperTuesdays to #BawlingmyeyesoutTuesdays? Just a couple sniffles this time, but you just wait.

Usually when people think of dogs, they think of an active animal who meets them at the door when they come home, harasses them to let them out to do their “duty” or dooty as the case may be, perhaps one may even look at a dog as their own exercise program, to get them ...

Dog Carts, Now and Back Then

Dog Carts, Now and Back Then
There was a day when, if a dog couldn’t walk, it meant the end of his or her life. Whether due to injury, disease, or unknown causes – sometimes even temporary ones — a handicapped dog could not survive without inflicting great hardships on the caretaker. Not anymore.
