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:
Christopher suffered a facial trauma when he was a puppy but thanks to Lauryn and her husband he is getting all the care he needs. He’s happy even though his health issues.

We hope you never have to be in the situation where you find a dog trapped in a hot car. But if you do, it’s important to have a few tips in mind before pulling out the crowbar and smashing a vehicle’s window.
Common sense is the place to start, and being forearmed with some knowledge also goes a long way.
1. Know what the laws are in your area. Every town, state and province has their own rules when it comes to helping a pet in a vehicle in extreme weather. In some states it is illegal to break into a vehicle yourself – it has to be carried out by the authorities.
In other states, Good Samaritan laws allow people to break into a vehicle, as long as all efforts (including calling the authorities) have been exhausted beforehand.
So, check with your local animal control or humane society to know the rules in your hometown. While you are doing that make note of the emergency numbers you should call and program them into your mobile phone so you will have them if you need them.
2. If you see a dog in a car on a hot day, immediately make note of the time. Also check to see if the car is running and has the A/C on. Some people do leave their pets in the car with air conditioning while they run their errands. If the A/C is on, you don’t have to worry. If it is a hot temperature, then every minute counts.
Lasting friendships are built around love and caring, and a woman in Mexico was lucky enough to witness a touching scene between two dogs that will stay with her forever.
Edith Govea was visiting a relative in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, when she noticed a small white dog trying to climb over a gate. The little dog was peeking over the railing and trying to get a look over when suddenly a German Shepherd appeared.
The two dogs hugged each other over the fence and it was clear the two were saying “hello” to each other. But it didn’t stop there.

The white dog started climbing the fence so he could squeeze through the bars, but was having difficulty. That’s when his canine pal appeared again and lent a helping paw.
At first the bigger dog’s efforts seem to make no difference, so she tries with two paws and even her teeth as she gives the other dog a gentle tug by the scruff of his neck to get him through.
And, finally, she manages to drag the little dog far enough through the railings for him to squeeze the rest of the way through and jump down to the ground.
Edith filmed the cute moment on video, and the video has since gone viral for the heartwarming display of friendship. Edith, who is a teacher, learned that the German Shepherd is named Bunny and the white dog is called Malik.
She wrote, “I spend lot of time in this area and I saw these two dogs and I found it bizarre how he fought to help his friend.”

“It is beautiful to see how dogs also show love,” she added.
It turns out that Malik regularly visits Bunny and the two hang out together.

With the ridiculously hot summer weather, it’s a great time to make a cool treat for your dogs. Jessica with Gone to the Snow Dogs makes many delicious treats for her huskies and in this video she shows how to make delicious dog-friendly blueberry ice cream.
Ingredients include 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 32 ounces of plain Greek yogurt, and 1/4 to 1/3 cup of honey.
The first step is to take half of the fresh blueberries and mash them with a fork. Put the yogurt in a bowl and add first the 1/2 cup of whole blueberries followed by the mashed berries and honey. Then add the mixture to your ice cream maker and let it run until it’s ready (approximately 15 minutes, depending on your machine).
Once your ice cream is ready scoop them into a bowl (like the cute ice cream shaped bowls in the video) and serve. If you don’t have a machine, Jessica says you can add the mix to your favorite silicone tray, popsicle holders, or cupcake holders and put it in the freezer until it’s frozen.
Check out her video below for all the details. And from the looks of it, having your dogs on hand to taste test and help clean up bowls is a must!
Jessica admits, “Technically this recipe is more of a Frozen Yogurt for dogs, but they don’t’ know the difference. You can modify this recipe with just about any flavor you would like!”
Jessica also has a great recipe for fruity pupsicles which you can view here.
