Favorite Dog Articles of the Week

- How a Dog Saved My Life – I’m always amazed at how much of a difference dogs can have on an individual’s life; especially when it comes to prison dog programs.
- Serendipitous Saturday: Dogs and Depression – How do you feel about dogs being used to help people who suffer from depression? Amazing personal perspective on the subject that might make you think twice before rushing to judgment.
- An Open Letter to Kevin Smith & His Dog Mulder – Wonderful piece about losing a pet. Shares the importance of being able to grieve openly and not be ashamed.
- Dogs Can be Assholes, Too – If you’re looking for a quick bit of humor check out these photos. Featured image is one of my favorites via Bored Panda.
