Let's start by saying that dogs give the term "public displays of affection" new meaning and aren't shy about it. Dogs are considered "man's best friend", or shall we say "leg's best friend".

Helping Pets Survive Fires
Did you know that somewhere between 40,000 and 150,000 pets die in fires every year. I didn't, but given pet behavior, I'd be surprised if the actual number was closer to the high end. According to fire fighters, pets tend to hide when fire strikes which makes saving their lives that much more difficult.
That job just got a little easier thanks to The Invisible Fence Company and a program called "Project Breathe". Invisible Fence is donating pet oxygen masks to fire houses around the...Read More

From: Inside the Pack
The May/June issue of AARP Magazine (page 19) gives stats from some of the research that BISSELL has conducted about the human-animal bond. Can you guess the % of pet owners 55+ that celebrate their pet’s birthdays? I was very surprised to learn that it is only 24%. Even if you expand to all ages of pet owners, our survey showed that 31% celebrate their pet’s birthday. Guessing on our facebook page was much higher too, ranging from 52% to 98% until we gave a nudge to go lower. I am...Read More
