Roundup 86: Favorite Dog Articles, Videos & Deals of the Week
How’s the weather in your part of the woods? It’s been pretty chilly here in Michigan, but we were able to go to a few of my favorite parks this week in preparation for the changing season. Gotta get out there and enjoy it as much as possible before the real snow starts – aka the season where humans prefer sticking to sidewalks.
If I had a nickel for every time I forgot to bring my real camera along to outings I’d probably have 50 bucks by now. That could buy Laika a ton of glow balls & maybe even a leash, collar & harness set that actually matches.
OK so how about I stop yapping & move onto the real reason you’re here – the awesome dog stories & videos of the week. From the sweetest rescue story ever to how positive training is the gift that keeps on giving, here’s some of my favorite dog articles of the week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Wow, this has been an interesting week in a sphere of dog internet world.
The first story of this article hit me the hardest, that poor dog went through a lot.. Poor Cow, but it is a rough life for dogs with no caring owners..
I also loved how that clinic is pairing service dogs with veterans, making them both enjoy some time together. Giving these people something to do and get their mind off of things while the dogs get some laughs, walk in a park and some fun.
