There’s nothing more satisfying than cheering for the underdog and winning. However, before we define what nanny dogs are, we must clarify the term pit bull. For some strange reason, we lump five classes of dogs into one umbrella term. This group has gotten a nasty rap in the last few decades when so many […]
Dogs are not just man’s best friend, they are also an integral part of many households and communities around the world.

The internet is full of information with answers that you want to hear. But AI technology doesn’t know how to tell two sides of the story yet. There’s misinformation construed as facts about how to protect birds and people who own cats. It’s up to writers and readers to untangle the truth. Cat predation numbers […]
Every 60 seconds, an animal is suffering abuse. Hundreds of millions of animals die in the US alone yearly. That’s not an exaggeration when you count the animals we eat, harvest from the ocean, or use in lab experiments.

This is undoubtedly one of the most challenging subjects to write about. It’s nearly impossible to read through the many WAF (World Animal Foundation) articles on animal testing and not skim over the pictures.

Puppy mills have an interesting business model. Basically, their slogan says, “Abused, Neglected, Unhealthy Puppies For Sale.” Yet, people continue to […]
It’s not an image that you can ever unsee. Those amber eyes, that wriggling nose, the soft paw in your palm, that telepathic message, Please, Take Me Home!

Americans keep no secrets about their best friends.
