Roundup 38 – Favorite Dog Articles, Deals & Videos of the Week

Last updated on September 14, 2017 By Puppy Leaks Leave a Comment

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.

OK sad (yet inspiring) stories aside here’s my picks for this week’s favorite dog articles, deals & videos. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

And if you’re curious how I find so many dog articles each week I shared my secrets last week – it’s a cheat sheet with 13 sites I use to stay up to date with the latest dog news & stories.

Favorite Dog Articles of the Week

What Everyone Misses When It Comes To Talking About The Homeless And Dogs
Brings up a valid question: why do we look the other way at homeless people on the streets, but start paying attention if they happen to have a dog. There are some wonderful organizations that help provide medical care & food to these dogs – and they’re lobbying to allow companion animals inside homeless shelters with their owners.

BC SPCA Applauds Move by College of Veterinarians to Ban Ear Cropping
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.

Why I Sedate Every Pet for Euthanasia – and You Should Too
I was surprised that this is still a controversy, especially after hearing how horrifying it can be when a pet is not sedated before euthanasia. I couldn’t imagine adding anymore stress to one of the worst decisions/moments any pet owner has to go through.

Veterinary Orthopedist Borrows From Human Medicine to Repair Canine Facial Fractures
This reminds me of the wonderful TED Talk about commonalities between treatments practices by physicians & veterinarians – and why sharing information between the two fields can be extremely beneficial.

5 Reasons Bailie Passed Her TD Test
Who doesn’t love an awesome tale of hard work that ends in victory? If you’ve been following their story you’ll know it’s been a long road, and I admire all the dedication and training that goes into scent work. Here’s a great look at how Bailie passed her Tracking Dog Test with some actionable advice for all dog lovers.

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.

Zoo Studio Photographs Help Improve the Lives of Staffy Rescue Dogs
A wonderful photography studio was awesome enough to take stunning images (as seen in the featured image) for inclusion in a 2016 calendar featuring rescue dogs. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to QSAR.
