Woman Has The Most Adorable Reunion With A Foster Dog

Watch How Dogs React To Their Names Being Called
Anyone with pets knows that there is a measurable difference between cats and dogs – particularly how they react to their names being called. Cats flat-out ignore you. And if they do happen to respond to their name, it’s usually a glaring stare, like they’re saying, “how dare you speak to me, peasant!” Dogs, on the other hand, are so much happier to be engaged.

Ex-Marine Reunites With German Shepherd He Served With After Years Apart
When a dog serves in the military for an extended period of time, he or she often develops an unshakable bond with their handler. Military working dogs and their handlers go through so much together, but eventually, they’re often torn apart.

It’s a hard thing to go through losing your best companion, but it’s the reality that many working dogs face. One 9-year-old German Shepherd, Atilla, was...

Researchers Explores Dogs’ Lifelong Health Data And They’re Asking The Public For Help
Dogs and humans have been closely interwoven for millennia, facing the same challenges and experiencing the same bond of companionship. Now, a team of scientists is taking a closer look at dogs, hoping to discover more about them and, in the process, about humans.
