🐾Hey there, Pooches and Peeps! Let me bark at you about something close to my heart—feelings. Not just mine (though, yes, I do get offended when the Bell steals my sunny nap spot), but yours, too. Us dogs? We’re emotional detectives with paws. And science is finally catching up to what we’ve always known: dogs…
Gus watched a movies called Dog Gone Trouble and he asked me what I think. I napped. —— Bell

Patrick Y’alright. Let me bark at you about Patrick **(2018). When humans cross the rainbow bridge, their stuff—houses, money, jewels, Granny’s secret brown gravy recipe—goes to their loved ones. That is what happens in Patrick, a charming British comedy about a woman who unexpectedly inherits a pampered and high-spirited pug. Sarah is a young teacher…

A dog’s snout print is a unique biometric marker for each pup. Who cares? Well, some humans think a nose print is…
