Roundup 81: Favorite Dog Articles & Videos of the Week
One small victory this week for dog lovers everywhere who have voiced concerns over Montreal’s Pit Bull ban. Earlier this week the judge extended the suspension of the restrictions pending the final outcome of the SPCA’s challenge.

How had I not seen this before?
Happy to know that the judge extended the suspension of the restrictions pending the final outcome of the SPCA’s challenge. We all agree that never can judge a book by its cover. BTW, Rescuer Saved By Dog She Rescued Years Earlier by World of Angus is really touching. Thank you so much.
