For dogs on the go with their masters, driving can be nothing short of euphoria. According to Stanley Coren, dog behaviourist and professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia, dogs have 225 million olfactory receptacles in their noses, compared with the paltry 50 million in a human snout. “If you crack the window,” Prof. Coren points out, “a dog gets a kaleidoscopic view of the world through his nose, as the scents are changing all the time. We [humans] are visual animals … A dog lives through his nose.” – The Globe and Mail, April 7, 2011

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive. – Gilda Radner

Sami has a BFF, his name is Rocco. He’s a big black 80 lb rescue who loves to scoop his nose under Sami’s belly & toss her in the air. He did it on the seawall the other day & we had so many people laughing & clapping; she loves getting tossed! It’s so funny to watch!

Fred

Fred was spotted this afternoon at the Vancouver Art Gallery.

He was busy protesting against the proposed Enbridge Pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat, BC.

His guardians told me that Fred, a rescue, has been an animal and environmental activist since he was a little puppy and loves to attend rallys. He was doing an awesome job today; spreading the word, loud and proud! Go Fred!
