Nothing like a cold Hyppo pop to take the edge off a hot day in Hyde Park Village. Steve left the stick 😉

Just as true of dogs 🎯

We don't deserve dogs ❤️

Judy, a purebred pointer, was the mascot of several ships in the Pacific, and was captured by the Japanese in 1942 and taken to a prison camp. There she met Aircraftsman Frank Williams, who shared his small portion of rice with her.
Judy raised morale in the POW camp, and also barked when poisonous snakes, crocodiles or even tigers approached the prisoners. When the prisoners were shipped back to Singapore, she was smuggled out in a rice sack, never whimpering or betraying her presence to the guards.
The next day, that ship was torpedoed. Williams pushed Judy out of a porthole in an attempt to save her life, even though there was a 15-foot drop to the sea. He made his own escape from the ship, but was then recaptured and sent to a new POW camp.
He didn't know if Judy had survived, but soon he began hearing stories about a dog helping drowning men reach pieces of debris after the shipwreck. And when Williams arrived at the new camp, he said: "I couldn’t believe my eyes! As I walked through the gate, a scraggly dog hit me square between the shoulders and knocked me over. I’d never been so glad to see the old girl!"
They spent a year together at that camp in Sumatra. "Judy saved my life in so many ways," said Williams. "But the greatest of all was giving me a reason to live. All I had to do was look into those weary, bloodshot eyes and ask myself: 'What would happen to her if I died?' I had to keep going."
Once hostilities ceased, Judy was then smuggled aboard a troopship heading back to Liverpool. In England, she was awarded the Dickin Medal (the "Victoria Cross" for animals) in May 1946. Her citation reads: "For magnificent courage and endurance in Japanese prison camps, which helped to maintain morale among her fellow prisoners, and also for saving many lives through her intelligence and watchfulness".
At the same time, Frank Williams was awarded the PDSA's White Cross of St. Giles for his devotion to Judy. Frank and Judy spent a year after the war visiting the relatives of English POWs who had not survived, and Frank said that Judy "always provided a comforting presence to the families."
When Judy finally died at the age of 13, Frank spent two months building a granite and marble memorial in her memory, which included a plaque describing her life story.

Bruce is kind, gentle, and really knows his stuff. The in-home training was super convenient, and we saw great results quickly. Our dog felt comfortable and confident, and we loved the personalized attention.

I am very proud of Steve! We just had our best walk yet he saw 3 dogs at a distance (granted all big black labs) but had zero pulling and watched me I did 2 clicks total and a treat but he was very engaged w me

And he is getting substantially better on walks. I am sooo happy I started back with you first before resorting to a tool to fix the problem. It deff takes more work but it's so rewarding and it's insane to think of just how different he is even from the first session!

You are deff the dog whisperer 😍

They pulled TWO LITERS of fluid out of Bella. 😲

She's doing MUCH better today. She actually climbed in the passenger seat of my car yesterday afternoon (she's been unable lately, only able to manage the floorboard).

I'll get test results Monday, we'll know more then. In the meantime she's on a diuretic to reduce the swelling and Vetmedin because they're going with heart problems as the most likely problem (leaky gut is also a possibility, and, unfortunately, cancer).

In the meantime she's getting chicken & rice & car rides. Life is good. For now.👍
