Roundup 38 – Favorite Dog Articles, Deals & Videos of the Week
Have you seen the story of the tiny Chihuahua rescued from a dumpster? It’s one of those images I can’t get out of my mind – a little 2lb dog abandoned and discarded. She was found whimpering all alone inside a California dumpster earlier this week.
Luckily she was rescued by some amazing people, and she’s now in good hands. I find myself needing to remember that there are good people out there – ones who save the helpless, ones who dedicate their lives to helping animals in need.

Go Canada! It’s sad that cosmetic ear cropping is still legal here in the states – even the practice of amateur ear cropping. Ear cropping provides no medical benefit for the animal, it’s done for looks & often to meet breed standards.
Dunkin, The Story of the Littlest Life, and All That Matters
I imagine one of the hardest parts of being a veterinarian is trying to remind yourself that you cannot save every animal. Here’s a great essay by a vet that begs to differ – pointing out that these little lives matter.
It’s Not the Dog, It’s You!
Walking a reactive dog is exhausting, and unfortunately we find ourselves having to plan ahead & walk at the weirdest hours of the day just to get in a simple walk. Here’s an interesting look at where reactivity comes from and some steps to help keep your walks as stress free as possible.
