Calling All Dog Experts: What kind of dog is that?
Posted on 14. May, 2012 by Stacy Smith.
While many people like to know “What kind of dog is that?” just to satisfy their curiosity, dog breed designations have also been used in an attempt to predict future behavior, match pets to families, find lost dogs, and even to restrict the ownership of certain types of dogs. Breed lineages are frequently guessed based on their physical appearance, but it is not known how accurate these visual breed assessments are. Well, perhaps we’re about to find out…

Letter to the Editor – I Have a Dream
Posted on 17. Feb, 2011 by Stacy Smith.
I have a dream. I have a dream of a place that any dog or cat can go to get help, any time they need a place to stay, if they get lost, or especially if they have been the victim of neglect or abuse. A place where compassionate people work, and get paid to love & care for these precious animals until they go to something better. If a dog gets lost it is safe until the owner finds it. Somewhere there’s a meal, a kind face and their basic needs are temporarily met. If a family goes through hard times and the pet needs a new home, they can go to get relocated with another loving family.
