Handsome Darth’s No Dark Sith, Just a Good Boy Looking for a Furever Home

Greetings! My name is Darth, which means “dark.” But if you’re a Star Wars fan, you already know that. While I most certainly appear dark, my light spirit and breezy attitude are anything but.

Dogs in Montana are Being Trained to Keep Bears Away from Humans

By becoming familiar with your dog’s body language, you can interpret how she’s feeling and respond to her needs. Dogs are excellent communicators. They certainly vocalize, but most of their communication is done through subtle body language. Unfortunately, that body language is often overlooked or misunderstood. When a dog’s communication attempts are consistently ignored — or...
