Be Inspired By The Love Of Your Dog

Today we are thankful and inspired by the human-animal bond and celebrating the love of your dog.

We have seen so many recent examples of dogs doing extraordinary things for their people and people doing extraordinary things inspired by the love of their dogs.

Last week we attended the 48th Annual Purina Hall of Fame Awards at Toronto’s Purina PawsWay.  We love celebrating dogs making a difference and the new inductee’s all demonstrated loyalty and love for their owners. It was a heartwarming ceremony and the heroic stories were truly amazing. See our full event recap including videos and photos.

We also wanted to mention Lisa Vanderpump and her #StopYulin and World Dog Day Campaign inspired by her love for dogs, Carol Bryant and Wigglebutt Warriors inspired by her dog Dex, Dorothy of Five Sibes and her K-9 Epilepsy Awareness Campaign inspired by her Dog Gibson, Love Letters for Ruby and all the Stop Puppy Mills Campaigns inspired by Ruby, Harley, Teddy and many other wonderful dogs, Jen’s work in Therapy and Emergency Response with Gizmo of Gizmo’s Frens, Marie and all her Canine Cancer Awareness, Therapy and Fundraising inspired by Bocker Labradoodle, Bernard of Dog and His Boy and his advocating for his deaf dogs, Judy and her work inspired by Surf Dog Ricochet, Rocky Kanaka and his wonderful Dog for Dog Food Program and Save Our Shelter TV series and so many others.

    I especially like that photo of Kilo holding a rose in his mouth. I wonder if I could get Mr. N to hold a flower in his mouth.

      LOL no need with our new app-Kilo will now hold things but he was not too keen on holding the rose. Added in the card LOL

    I celebrate the love of my dogs by continuing to serve on the board of the rescue where I got Piper (my newest dog and my first foster failure) and by trying to raise awareness around ending BSL and encouraging people to foster and adopt whenever possible.

    My love for Wynston is the reason I started blogging. And my dog’s never ending, unconditional love is the reason I’m a full time blogger! It keeps me going 🙂 I’m glad you had a good time at the Purina Hall of Fame Awards!

    These events sound like a lot of fun. I will have to enter the photo contest if they allow cats (or honorary dogs that happen to look a lot like cats LOL). I love that people are taking so much time to honor the relationship they have with their pets these days. 🙂

    These are great cards, Kilo looks adorable! Wonderful contest! I’m a huge believer in the Human Animal Bond, I see it clearly in the therapy dog visits with my Husky, Icy. We show our love for our dogs by doing nearly everything with them from hiking to cafe-ing to vacationing with them. They are our family!
    Love & biscuits,
    Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
