    Nuremberg Dogs

    Nuremberg Dogs
    Dog Writer Dorothy / Stories about Dogs

    Our first stop in Europe was Nuremberg, Germany, infamous as a Nazi center of activity and for the trials of Nazi war criminals, but a lovely city to visit today.  We happened to visit at the opening of the Nuremberg International Human Rights Film Festival.  This city is using its dark …

    Dogs in Art of Europe

    Dogs in Art of Europe
    Dog Writer Dorothy / Stories about Dogs

    I’ve been on the road in Europe, enjoying many things, including visiting museums and noting lots of dogs in art, like the one above doing what dogs have always done when no one is looking!  I think it’s fun to see canine friends immortalized in paint and wonder about their …

    Pit Bull Princes and Princesses

    Pit Bull Princes and Princesses
    Dog Writer Dorothy / Pit Bulls / Rescue Dogs

    Photographer Sophie Gamand used to feel irrational fear at the sight of a pit bull.  Then she decided to explore her fear and found a great way to help change the image people have of pit bulls–create lovely photographs after crowning them with garlands of delicate flowers, hardly what you would …

    Dog Law Reporter: A Varied Dog Blog

    Dog Writer Dorothy / Service dogs / Stories about Dogs

    Some of the resources I list elsewhere on this blog may be unfamiliar even to serious dog folks, such as www.doglawreporter.blogspot.com.  I stumbled across this goldmine of reliable dog information while writing my book “Dogs on Duty: Soldiers’ Best Friends on the Battlefield and Beyond.”  Dog Law Reporter is by John …

    Dogs Get You Out and About

    Dog Writer Dorothy / Rescue Dogs / Stories about Dogs

    One of the great things about dogs is they help us get our bodies moving and take us to fun places.   You may not have a dog-friendly beach available like these folks in California, but there are leash-free dog parks in many towns and cities these days.  For me, …

    Vick Dog Ginger Girl’s Happy Ending

    Vick Dog Ginger Girl’s Happy Ending
    Dog Writer Dorothy / Pit Bulls / Rescue Dogs / Stories about Dogs / Vick Dogs

    While working on “Saving Audie: A Pit Bull Puppy Gets a Second Chance,” I naturally became concerned about the fate of the other Vick dogs.  One image stood out in my mind, a photo of a thin, scared puppy from the Vick operation that appears in the book.  Her face …

    Expand Your Life, Adopt a Dog

    Dog Writer Dorothy / Rescue Dogs / Stories about Dogs

    It’s National Dog Day, a chance to celebrate our favorite animal companion.  Many shelters across America are celebrating this day by offering “specials” on adoptions.  And even if your local shelter isn’t into specials, today’s a day to consider making a new and very special friend.   Shelter dogs offer …

    Unusual Puppy Raisers

    Dog Writer Dorothy / Scent Detecting Dogs

    It’s standard practice for service dogs to spend their early lives in the homes of regular folks, often in loving family situations. The puppy raisers know how to teach their charges basic commands and spend time with others in special situations, like on buses, at ball games, watching fireworks, all …

    Revisiting Audie, My Vick Dog Hero

    Revisiting Audie, My Vick Dog Hero
    Dog Writer Dorothy / Pit Bulls / Rescue Dogs / Stories about Dogs / Vick Dogs

    May, 2010: As I knocked on the door, photographer Bill Muñoz and I heard a dog barking loudly from inside the house, and we exchanged nervous glances.  Our anticipation was high, because we were about to meet Audie, a young pit bull rescued three years earlier from Michael Vick’s notorious dog-fighting operation.  Bill …
