My sister's new hound is in the dog house (The Guardian)

There's a beautiful new labrador in the family – and biscuit crumbs all over the carpet, says Séamas O'Reilly.

He subdues both dogs with stern commands and a raised hand. There is evidence of his largesse all around the floors and soft furnishings of his home, where they run around indoors, eat from plates and bark at things for no good reason. He paces slow circles around them, adjusting their movements with gentle movements of his leash. We are, after all, in Derry, where speech has the volume and speed of machine gun fire at the best of times. This was in our family’s “Animals” WhatsApp, the sort of egregiously sentimental group chat I would never voluntarily acknowledge in a national newspaper. Where once his dogs might have known and respected him as Genghis Khan, he is now Dame Barbara Cartland, all but feeding them toast from his armchair.

A dog lover's pilgrimage to Dog Mountain (CBS News)

After a near-death experience, artist Stephen Huneck created Dog Mountain, a 150-acre leash-free retreat in scenic Northern Vermont, its centerpiece Dog ...

"Stephen Huneck has a great, whimsical piece of art that's entitled, A Dog Has a Soul. You have a place of love. And the dog is holding a shoelace with a shoe attached." Teichner asked Ohlidal, "You have a place of joy. "I don't think they are to be squared," she replied. And I feel like this is a place that they're buried and that we come back and visit every year." The chapel opened in 2000, and is, more than anything, a roomful of love. The way I have dogs in my life? His dogs became the subjects of the now-famous woodcuts he was finally strong enough to make. We would go for short walks in the woods, and they really stayed right with me." His wife, Gwen, also recalled at the time, "I said to myself I'm going to be positive. It began in 1994, when artist Stephen Huneck was injured falling down a flight of stairs, his injury causing him to develop a rare, often-fatal lung condition.

Can Dogs Eat Slim Jims? (AZ Animals)

Dogs shouldn't eat Slim Jims because they're too high in fat and salt. Small pieces of cooked, unseasoned meats are better for them.

How about the fastest dogs, the largest dogs and those that are -- quite frankly -- just the kindest dogs on the planet? What Are the True Risks?](https://a-z-animals.com/blog/can-dogs-eat-bacon-safely-what-are-the-true-risks/) [Can Dogs Eat Steak? While not all store bought treats are equal, you can check over the ingredients before purchasing them. Make sure not to use any added salt, butter, or oils. The best kind of beef to feed your dog is the kind with the lowest fat content you can find. - Tiredness - Diarrhea - Vomiting (If they do, your dog needs to see a vet right away as this may be an indication of something more serious.) For instance, too much salt can cause salt poisoning, which in extreme cases causes dehydration and kidney damage. Beef Jerky is high in fat and salt, neither of which are good for dogs. Not only are they unhealthy, but they can cause illness like salt poisoning or pancreatitis, especially when eaten in large amounts.

Can Dogs Eat Skittles? (AZ Animals)

Skittles aren't toxic for dogs, but too many can cause digestive upset with symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea.

How about the fastest dogs, the largest dogs and those that are -- quite frankly -- just the kindest dogs on the planet? Always check the ingredients on any food you feed to your dog. Although candies with raisins may seem like a healthier alternative, it’s actually very dangerous to feed them to your dog. If your dog eats sour Skittles, watch them for signs of stomach upset like vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach pain. Uncooked nuts tend to be the most dangerous, as many of them contain tannins which are toxic to dogs. Remember to feed even fruits in moderation, as the majority of your dog’s diet should consist of a high-quality dog food.
