What if I brought homeless dogs to random places throughout the day? A dog in a coffee shop. A dog at an outdoor restaurant. A dog in the entryway to Target. A dog at a playground. When people see a dog in an unsuspecting place, they pay attention to it. And you ...

Note: This is a guest post from one of my favorite dog blogs, The Three Dog Blog. Check it out for insight into the ups and downs of living with dogs. Having now lived with Dogs for over 18 years, I am amazed at all I have learned along the way. I just wish I knew when I was younger what I know now.
