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.
A street dog in India has been reunited with the family she chose after 10 months of waiting.
Jalebi’s epic journey began when her adoptive mom and dad, who are from New Zealand and live in Australia, were in India and one morning went for a walk. When they came back Jalebi was under a car out front of their home. She got chased by the other street dogs. The couple noted that Jalebi wasn’t as independent as the other dogs and not fitting in the pack meant she was lonely. Soon, Jalebi formed a bond with them and would get excited and wag her tail when she saw them.
When winter arrived, they opened the door for Jalebi so she could stay warm and she came right in. Soon, they decided to take Jalebi home to Australia with them. “We couldn’t get rid of her,” they jokingly said.
The process would prove to be a long one. Jalebi had to wait two months in Deli for a home stay. Then she went to France for 6 months because India is a high risk country for rabies, which means dogs need to spend six months in a low risk country under quarantine before they can go to Australia or New Zealand. After that the quarantine in Australia was so booked up that she went to New Zealand and ended up staying there with her new mom and grandma. But happily Jalebi is once again with her family.
Jalebi’s parents say the entire process took 10 months and around $15,000. But they wouldn’t have had it any other way. Says her dad, “She’s that little angel we didn’t know we needed.”
Snacking on vegetables and fruits is not only healthy for humans it’s great for dogs too. Eating vegetables and fruits has much of the same benefits to dogs as they do for humans (extra vitamins and minerals!).
However, dogs do have different digestive systems than ours so not every fruit and vegetable is good for them. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a short list of foods that your canine companions will love.
As with everything moderation is key. In the case of fruits, your dog can have too much of a good thing and end up with a stomach ache or diarrhea from eating too much.
Fruits also contain natural sugars, so they should be fed to your dog sparingly in order to avoid problems with their teeth, weight, and blood sugar levels. And remember, you can always check with your vet or a vet nutritionist if you are wondering how much is enough for your dog.
When Christopher was found running loose and taken to the shelter, his owner came to pick him up. However, when he showed up a second time, his owner never returned. That’s when Lauryn stepped in to foster him. Lauryn and her husband had fostered many dogs before, but they always insisted on being a one-dog household. Then, when the 2020 pandemic hit, they found themselves changing their minds—though we suspect it had a lot to do with Christopher’s lovable personality, as you’ll see in the video below:
