This message is for Bob Olynyk. Thank you for your concern for animals being locked in cars etc. I appreciate you recognizing the trials they are going through in the heat of the summer, however, your actions could be dangerous for you. One day you may do your act of kindness and the owner of the vehicle will shoot or knife you, for “breaking and entering,” or, the dog may bite you. In any case I can relate. Being a lover of dogs, I resigned from the force in 2007. But I have many buddies still part of my Police Family. About a month ago, I was in the parking lot of a supermarket. I was parked in the handicapped section, the temperature was about 80 degrees outside. I noticed straight in front of me a truck parked with a dog running/panting heavily in this truck. Although the windows were down low enough for me to stick my hand inside I didn’t. There were no handicap tags on display, nor, on his registered tags. I called my guys as a non-emergency 911 call. I told them that I would wait until a police officer arrived on site. A few minutes later the dispatcher told me the police were en-route. I pointed out the truck after taking down the license number, make and model of truck. The dog was so happy to see us, and I went inside the store to get a bottled water for the dog. My officer friend, stuck in his hand and said: “stick your hand inside, its warm but not hot.” First of all I’m not sticking my hand inside and have some lunatic coming out to sue me since I’m not in uniform and you are. Secondly, go into the store and have the license plate announced over the loud speaker and have the owner come to the truck. Which he did, the man was fined, said he was only in the store a few minutes. I called him on it as I watched for forty five minutes before I called the police. This is against the law in Pennsylvania. The man was cited. He didn’t know what to do. Not only was he cited for abandoning his animal in the car, but also cited for parking in a handicap zone. That shopping trip cost him $350.00 plus court costs fees. Was it really worth bringing your animal to the store????? Why in the name of all that is good do people bring their pets to stores and leave them in the car. Would you be able to sit in a hot car for forty five minutes without water??? What if the dog had to go to the bathroom???? Would he punish the dog for going to the bathroom in the car???? I’m just saying Bob, if you see this action again, don’t take the action that you take. As you may be endangering your own safety. Go legally. Use your cell phone to make a non-emergency call to the local authorities. Wait for them, tell them how long you watched the dog in the car/truck. Yes, you may have cracked windows open in the past, but, the lesson learned faded from their minds. Getting citations teaches a hard lesson much quicker, and less likely to have the dog punished and you hurt. Thank you for taking the time to watch out for our devoted animals though. I have two service dogs, and, even though I need them 99% of the time, I don’t take them to the grocery store and leave them in the car. If I know I’ll be somewhere for any length of time, and they can’t come with me, it is safer for them at home. Although, when I was on the force, I took my cock a poo with me while on duty and everywhere. Even my honeymoon. I miss him dearly to this day, but cherish the memories of priceless moments well spent together.. Now my one service dog needs surgery on his eyes for cataracts, and the surgery is quite expensive. He never leaves my side, and he follows my voice. His brother now takes care of him and me. I’m hoping to find a surgeon that will barter to operate on my service dog and I take care of other animals to pay for the surgery. Didn’t mean to write an epistle, just wanted to let you know what protocol to take for future reference. Have a nice day!!!!
I see it too many times, where people will treat their animal in an unacceptable fashion like leaving their dog in the car/truck in the 80′ plus heat. If I see this and the animal is in danger, I try to find the owner real quick. If the owner is not located and the animal is suffering, I simply use my always handy Master Key, a ” 15 pound Johnson Wrecking bar”. It is amazing how fast it opens the window. Just be careful not to harm the animal. Owner comes back not caring about the animal but and freaks out over their “new air-conditioning” system. I show them just who has the key in hand. There has been a few times the cops were going to arrest and charge me with public destruction, interference, weapon and another 3-4 other charges. I just tell them and I’ll do a citizen’s charge of cruelty to animals by interfering with live animals and so on. See in today’s world, the bad guy has the law on their side, you know….:-(
She – I looooooooooooove the phsohooott! Gosh! I love love! Ugh!Oh! Yeah, there’s this song, The one He kept for me by Maurette Brown Clark! It’s funny but I’ve never heard it! Only heard of it and I fell head over hills in love with the title! You should check it out!:)
hey there! checked out your wesibte and am very interested in your assistance. We have a year old lab X greyhound (so we found out afterwards!) and all in all he is an amazing dog, we got him at 8 weeks and he has been around our daughter who had just turned 3 and is amazing with her she lays on him..pushes him is kind of in an agressive stage right now and we try really hard to stress to her NOT to be like that lol but anyways he has never growled, snapped, bit or snarled at her..or anyone for that matter.. he is a very loving and affectionate, licky/kissy dog.however, we have a baby on the way, and my husband was just called into the military and will be going away for quite a while. Bentley(dog) seems to listen to my husband more than me they are BFFS. And Bentley has and always has had an issue with jumping up, and pawing at people lol not aggressively but its still super frustrating, and we are concerned with the baby on the way and such and just want to get him under control while hes still young.Let me know what you think and We’d love to meet!
Well congrats on a new baby! I can abullsteoy help you with teaching him to stop jumping when saying hello! He sounds like a great dog with just a few bad habits which are easily fixed! Give me a call 613-779-1236 and we can set up a training session when you have time, each session is about an hour and a half for $70 and I am pretty flexible with dates. By the sounds of things I may only need one or two sessions so give me a call so we can set something up! Thank you in advance,Grace
Bob I agree with every word you made in your comment. There are people whom need to learn to care about others and share GODS LOVE with others for sure.
Bob, truer words were never said more clearly and simply. I appreciate your comment for many reasons, you have no idea why, but it has helped me. Thank you.
IF PEOPLE TREATED PEOPLE AND WERE AS DEDICATED TO HELPING ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD JUST AS DOGS DO, WE WOULD HAVE A MUCH BETTER PLAQNET TO LIVE ON. 🙂
My dog, Alex, died in Nov., 2011. He had been part of our family for 5-6 years (he was 6 mos.) when I got him for my son Scott who wanted a Lab/Golden Retriever. Alex came with me to Texas in 2008. He was my constant companion when I was home and always glad and happy to see me when I returned from a trip. After Alex died I waited a long, long time before getting Red, a Lab/Great Pyranese mix. She is now a year old and very spoiled, although I will not allow myself to become as attached to her as I was Alex. Red loves me anyway and is my “healer” when I’m down in the dumps. Gods dogs are as unconditionally loving as God himself.
When I was a child, I had a cocker spaniel from the time I was 9 until I was 24…she was my baby. When my husband and I moved out here to Texas though, a soldier was being deployed, and didn’t want to put his dog, Hunter, in a shelter, for fear of him being put to sleep since Hunter is a Pit Bull/Terrier Mix. So, we opted to take Hunter in, because I missed my dog and I love animals! Now, Hunter is not referred to as a dog…he is my Four Legged Best Friend! He has brought me so much joy these past 6 years that we have had him, especially when my husband is deployed. Hunter knows when I am sad, and he knows when I am happy…I Love the Little (Big) Fellow! Thank You for the great pictures…..and Mr. Soldier, if you’re reading this, Thank You for Hunter! He’s the Best!
These photos are absolutely precious. Dogs are sent from heaven. I love every picture and just looking at those faces, you forget, for a moment , all your problems. Wish I could own all of them.
We lost our german shepard Sheba ( Miss Muffet) more than 2 years ago and our hearts and home are still empty….I think I’m afriad to go through that loss again…we were apart only 2 nights in 11 years.
All theses great pics and videos perk me up
We lost our Alee-girl almost a year ago and she left such a hole in our world. We waited enough time
to allow the grieving to heal, and than found our new Alee at Pets without Partners..She was actually
named Alee when we found her, can you believe that? We have renamed her Trinity, Triny for short,
and she had added that spark of love that we missed so much. The rainbow bridge helped me get thru
Alee’s loss, and now I can not imagine our family without the unconditional love of Triny….

Will do Elizabeth Wright. I have six bird feeders which I’ll put up tomorrow. They are in the shed, wish I thought about that sooner. Bad headache now, willl write more later.
LOLA: You make very good sense to me… You have an optimistic view on your life… Yes, go out in the fresh
air and sunshine, even if it takes time to do so… Maybe someone can put up a bird feeder for you to enjoy the hungry birds, (which are sometimes funny to watch.) I imagine that your dogs and cats are sometimes
comical to watch also… Enjoy them… They love you very much also… Yes, JESUS will hear your name tonight when I pray for you…
Blessings… Elizabeth W.
I thank God everyday for my service dogs, and my mischievous cats. I love everything that God has made for us to enjoy and love, especially children and animals, and the beauty of the earth. This is my favorite time of year, but not feeling well enough to go out and enjoy it. Maybe the fresh air would help me, but I can’t walk alone, afraid of both knees giving out. Lucky for me I have a deck outside my bedroom door, a huge deck but I have to take out pillows, blankets, heavy duty coat, robe, etc. Lots of work for me, nothing for anyone else to handle. Does this make sense to any of you? Have a beautiful day. Enjoy it and think of me, whisper my name to Jesus while you’re enjoying this gorgeous day!
I love all of my past creatures, dogs, cats, fish, gerbils, etc. Every one of them… They all had unconditional love and I thank GOD for sending them to me to love. You are always in my heart… Love you guys and girls forever… What wonderful memories for me and my family…
Yes, there certainly is an animal Heaven… I know…
Thanking God everday for my faithful life companions, Cookie (16 years old), Ivory (5 years old), Bella (6 months old), Ebony(1yr old), Sammy(8 years old).
You must enjoy making a grown man tear. I loved the photos and captions and they brought tears to my eyes when I thought about the loss of my German Shepherd and two Golden Retrievers. Thank You, you have brought tears to my eyes but also the happiest memories of my three best buddies.
this for me was a big ‘ahhhhhhhh’ Moment and I thank you so much … Our Poms mean that world to me since I have become disabled .. hugs, love & Blessings to you all!
These pictures and video with captions truly touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I look down at my service dogs and thank God every minute of everyday that they are here for me. God is so good because He created dogs for a purpose. One purpose was to love uncondionally.
