Dogs like treats. That's hardly breaking news, but it means that if your dog isn't taking the treats you're offering, you need to think about why.

"Dogs like treats. If your dog isn’t interested in chicken or cheese or other treats in a particular situation, ask yourself if that situation is scary or difficult for them. Not taking treats is often a sign of fear. Take steps to make the situation less alarming. The other question: Are the treats good enough? For example, maybe your dog isn’t interested in pieces of hot dog but would work for pieces of cheese, meatballs, or roast beef. (Of course, if your dog isn’t interested in food, see your vet)."

As a person who drove 3 to 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, for the last 15 years or so and saw a lot of crazy things, I say this with kindness. If you are walking your dog in the middle of the road, especially, say, the southbound lane of Park Heights Avenue between Greenspring Valley Road and Caves Road and you are staring at your phone, there is going to be a car coming down that hill at 60 mph driven by someone who is also staring at their phone. Then, you and your dog are potentially in grave danger. Please pay attention when you’re walking your dog. Please pay attention when you’re driving.

My daughter volunteers at this shelter just over the state line in Delaware. If you’re looking to adopt but haven’t found your match in town, this might be a great place to look. She sends me cute pics every time she visits, and they have had a good variety of dogs.

On September 11, 2001, as chaos unfolded in the North Tower of the World Trade Center, a guide dog named Roselle became an unexpected hero. She calmly led her blind owner, Michael Hingson, and a group of over 30 people down 78 flights of stairs to safety. Despite the smoke, noise, and confusion, Roselle remained focused and composed, helping others stay calm simply by her presence.

During the descent, Roselle paused only once, to comfort a woman having a panic attack. She gently nuzzled and kissed her, offering reassurance in the most human way a dog could. Her quiet strength and unwavering loyalty helped transform fear into courage, allowing the group to continue their escape even as the building trembled around them.

Roselle’s actions that day became a symbol of trust, training, and the extraordinary bond between guide dogs and their handlers. She continued to serve until 2007 and passed away in 2011, but her legacy lives on as a reminder that heroism can come on four paws, with a wagging tail and a heart full of love.

Veterinary medicine strives to do no harm. But many patients leave their appointments feeling emotionally worse off than when they arrived. Pre-visit medications can go a long way toward alleviating the stress our patients experience. But cooperative care can help, as well. This module explores the types of cooperative care that can be worked on at home by our clients and the types we can use during veterinary visits and hospitalizations.
