Flow - Unlikely Friends Set Sail On A Journey
 |
| Via RogerEbert.com |
The cat finds safety on a sailboat on which a lethargic capybara drifts through the flooded landscape. Soon, a perpetually jolly Labrador dog, a majestic secretary bird, and an unruly lemur join them. In the distance, a range of slim but high mountain peaks seems to guide the furry and feathered adventurers who must rely on each other. Their relationships are tested and reinforced through a subtle rubbing of noses, the generous gesture of sharing food, or, in a higher-stakes instance, the decision to stand up to a flock, risking violence and vanishing to protect an innocent new friend. The bird takes on a leadership position, asserting dominance communicated in its upright posture that stands high above the others. Each species is animated in ways that demonstrate its personality. But the cat’s curiosity about its fellow travelers and its surroundings, with its large observant eyes, nourishes their bond. - RogerEbert.com

Man Wakes to Noise at Night and Sees Something Strange by His Dog’s Water Bowl
When Lacy’s human, David, awoke to a noise coming from the bathroom, he went to investigate and was alarmed by what he saw.
A dark shape was lurking at his dog’s water dish making a lot of noise. It couldn’t be Lacy, as the shape in the dark was brown and long and she was white and small.
Nervously, David switched on the lights to take a closer look only to see that the scary, odd shape was a blanket.
“I looked and saw a blanket that was making slurping noises at Lacy’s dish,” he tweeted his daughter, Sarah.
He quickly put two and two together and realized the strange creature was Lacy shrouded under the blanket.
“Lacy had been sleeping with blanket as cover,” he continued to explain to Sarah. “When she got up to drink the blanket stayed on like a robe.”

Courthouse Dogs Help Give Victims Of Crime The Courage To Testify
October 28, 2015 Community
Going through a traumatic ordeal is a difficult, painful process, but many victims must relive the event when they enter the legal process and must confront the defendant in a court of law. Witnesses, especially children, often struggle under the pressure of such situations. That’s why Courthouse Dogs was established.
Ellen O’Neill Stephens and Celeste Walsen founded Courthouse Dogs to help remedy the stress and anxiety victims of crime face in court.
The nonprofit organization specifically trains facility dogs for use by legal professionals to help comfort witnesses in the courtroom.
A facility dog is not like a service dog, as the dog does not assist a person with a disability. Instead, the facility dog assists professionals by improving the quality of their work. The dogs are specially trained not to distract from courtroom proceedings and are trained to interact with victims and/or witnesses who may have to testify in court

Deaf Dog Who was Called ‘Unadoptable’ Now Works as Drug Detection K9
A white Pit bull mix named Ghost was languishing in a pound in Florida and deemed “unadoptable” because he is deaf. But he was saved by Swamp Haven Rescue and moved to Port Angeles, Washington, where he was spotted by Barb Davenport, who is a long time dog trainer and K-9 Program Manager for the state’s Department of Corrections.
She notes that many deaf dogs can be startled easily, but Ghost had no such problems. He has a laid-back nature and his hearing impairment “seems to make him even more focused,” Davenport told King 5 News.
Davenport has been training dogs for the state since the 1980s and believes Ghost is the state’s first deaf dog and he may even be the first in the country.
Ghost started searching for drugs inside state prisons and other secure facilities in January and already has successfully detected drugs, which means he gets more time to play with his favorite tennis ball.
Letting Your Dog Sleep On The Bed Could Improve Your Sleep
Does your dog interrupt your sleep or help you sleep better? A recent study set out to answer this question and the results turned out to contradict earlier studies.
Although a 2014 Mayo Clinic study found that more than half the patients visiting its sleep clinic were pet owners whose sleep was disturbed by their cats or dogs, a new study has revealed exactly the opposite. That is, that letting your your cat or dog sleep on the bed can actually lead to improved sleep.
Researchers from Mayo Clinic recently surveyed 150 of the patients who visited their Arizona Center for Sleep Medicine. Participants were asked questions about their sleeping habits, their pets’ behavior and where the pets slept and how their pets affected their nightly sleep.
“Every midnight, Cleo would come up to me, put her head on my pillow and snore right to my ear… Her snoring is like a sweet music of love to my heart.” ~ submitted by Sylvia
Of the 150 participants in the study, 56 percent of them admitted that they shared their bed with their cat or dog. While 20 percent reported that their pet disrupted their sleep, 41 percent said that having their pets on the bed helps them sleep better.
They said their pets helped them relax and provided a sense of security and companionship. This was especially the case with single sleepers.
“Respondents described feeling secure, content and relaxed when their pet slept nearby,” the study authors wrote. “The value of these experiences, although poorly understood, cannot be dismissed because sleep is dependent on a state of physical and mental relaxation.”
It’s not a conclusive study to be sure, but it does indicate that our dogs are more than “bed hogs” or heat warmers when we’re sleeping!
