The world had lost another beautiful light and amazing advocate. RIP Sir Patrick Stewart

Rest easy, Sir Patrick Stewart 🐾💔

Our hearts are heavy tonight. Sir Patrick Stewart, the actor many of us knew as Captain Picard and Professor X, has passed away at 86.

To the bully breed world, he was something more: a true champion for our dogs.

He openly admitted that he once believed the stereotypes about pit bulls. Then he fostered a sweet girl named Ginger, a 60-pound lap dog, and she changed his mind and his heart. Instead of quietly moving on, he used his voice to tell the world what we already knew: these dogs are loving, loyal and worth fighting for.

He and his wife Sunny went on to foster more pitties, spoke out against dogfighting and breed-specific laws, and even made sure Picard's dog on screen was a rescued pit bull. In 2021 the ASPCA honored him with its Pit Bull Advocate & Protector Award.

When someone with that kind of platform stands up for misunderstood dogs, it opens doors and changes minds, and that means more of our babies find homes.

Thank you, Sir Patrick, for seeing them for who they really are. Our deepest condolences to Sunny and his family.

October 27 is Día de los Mu***os for our beloved pets, a time to remember the animals who may no longer be by our side but will always be part of our lives.

They were there for our everyday moments, our hardest days, and so many memories we’ll carry forever. They gave us a kind of love that stays with us long after we’ve had to say goodbye.

Today, we honor them by keeping their memories alive. Through photographs, favorite toys, candles, and the stories we still tell, we make space for the love that never left.

To every pet we’ve loved and lost, you are remembered, you are missed, and you will always be family.

Attempting to get a family portrait with these three perfect babies. October 27 is almost here and it’s widely observed as Dia de los Mu***os para Mascota (day of the dead for pets). Sometimes this marks, the unofficial start of the de de Las Mu***os season were departed. Animal companions are believed to return for a brief visit. It’s a great time to start your alter, or space of remembrance for your best babies that aren’t with us anymore. Set out some photos, some snacks, a toy, light a candle, and have a few marigolds to help them find their way home. Let me know if you’re planning on setting up a remembrance to those that came before.

"The critical question is: is the animal leading a life worth living? That should be the minimum we offer." Dr. Daniel Mills

During our animal welfare panel, Michael Shikashio asked what happens when a dog's choices clash with what we think is best for them. (Rolling in duck p**p came up. Of course it did.) Dr. Daniel Mills, Professor of Veterinary Behavioural Medicine, brought it back to the big picture: not every moment has to be perfect, but every dog deserves a life worth living.

He followed it with a simple question we can all ask before choosing an approach: is it necessary? If there is a kinder way to reach the same goal, that is the way to go.

Huge thanks to Daniel and our incredible panel, Kim Brophey, Dr. Emma Gaalaas Mullaney, Dr. Lisa Gunter, Dr. Abbie Atteberry, and Dr. Patricia McConnell, moderated by Michael Shikashio.
