One thing I often hear when someone meets my dog (not pictured) is “What kind is he?” “I don’t know, he’s a mutt.” Then, a common response is: “Aww, he’s a rescue.

…………………………………………………………………….. Vee DeOllos-Hudson had a good question: What do you do when you see that a dog might have run away, escaped from his owner’s home or is a stray? When I see a loose dog, I usually don’t do anything at all. It sounds bad, bu ...

Brian Dennis was reunited with the mutt in San Diego after they both spent months in an Iraqi war zone. I have read a couple stories this year about soldiers who befriended stray dogs while deployed, despite the military’s rules ...
