Welcome to The Dog’s Life blog:
Dogs Are Amazing
Every day, there are stories in the news that illustrate the amazing capabilities of dogs and the ways they help us live better lives. The Dogs Are Amazing blog includes discoveries from those reports, as well as thoughts about dogs in my life and in the lives of my family and friends.
I’m always on the lookout for stories about dogs doing something remarkable, but I know they don’t all make it into the national or international news that I may see, so feel free to send me the amazing dog news stories from your local and regional media. Or, send along a good-news dog story that you think should be in the news. I’ll share those here.
