Unlike most of the authors at Dream Dogs, I didn’t have a dog when I was a kid – but that didn’t stop me offering to walk every dog on the street. I remember one in particular, a black Labrador/German Shepherd cross called Snickers, who I used to spend hours with every weekend. Even if he wasn’t allowed out for a walk, I’d sit in the backyard with him!

I own a Labrador called Ben, who is very well-behaved – mostly – and loves pigs ears and muddy walks on a Sunday.

Can a dog massage compensate a dog for its owner’s absence?

Can a dog massage compensate a dog for its owner’s absence?

In the world of celebrity, there is often a focus on getting the best that money can buy. When it comes to dogs, celebrities have the disposable income to give them treats many ordinary dog owners can only dream of. However, because they are ‘time poor’ some celebrities may be substandard dog owners. If they delegate their responsibilities, dog welfare may not suffer. If delegation is utilised as an option, though, the connection between a celebrity and their dog may be a slender thing. As has been recently reported (more) ShareVN:F [1.9.13_1145]please wait...Rating: 9.0/10 (2 votes cast)VN:F [1.9.13_1145]Rating: 0 (from 0 votes)» Post Ad Purchase:  Intext Link  Read More →

Viagra for dogs

Viagra for dogs

Before you write in and complain, it’s not what you’re thinking! The Viagra was administered to a dog in order to save his life, rather than to save his sex life and ensure that he was the best stud dog in town. The Springer Spaniel, Bentley, had lungworm in his pulmonary arteries which resulted in his heart rate slowing. The illness is also common in humans, and can be treated with the sexual aid drug, Viagra. Knowing this, Ben Harris, the veterinary surgeon, gave Bentley a dose of Viagra to (more) ShareVN:F [1.9.13_1145]please wait...Rating: 10.0/10 (1 vote cast)VN:F [1.9.13_1145]Rating: +1 (from 1 vote)» Post Ad Purchase:  Intext Link  Read More →

Dogs spreading killer tree diseases?

Dogs spreading killer tree diseases?

Dogs are naturally attracted to trees, it’s where most stud dogs like to do their business and cast their mark so that other dogs know they’ve been there. However it seems that trees in a park in Cardiff are at risk from dogs treading diseases that could be potentially fatal to the trees. The disease is called ‘Sudden Oak Death’ (phytophthora ramorum) and is spread by dogs going from tree to tree with muddy paws. As a result, the park in Thornhilll, Cardiff, has placed a restriction on dog owners in the park. All dogs must now be kept on a lead and stick to the paths in a bid to stop the disease (more) ShareVN:F [1.9.13_1145]please wait...Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)VN:F [1.9.13_1145]Rating: 0 (from 0 votes)» Post Ad Purchase:  Intext Link  Read More →
