Yup, the very same table you hated sitting at beyond a certain age is now being occupied by doggos whose humans treat them like the family they are. The Kids’ Table...

According to estimates provided by the ASPCA, approximately 6.3 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, roughly 3.1 million are dogs. The animals come in all shapes, sizes, breeds, and age ranges. And as many as 390,000 are needlessly euthanized each year, predominantly due to humans.

Those lucky enough to be rescued by an animal welfare organization...

The Ultimate List of Dog Sports
Dogs are doers. It is in their history and bloodlines to be guardians of their families, to hunt for their food and to chase what catches their eye.
