Woof. I’m 7 today. I hear there’s steak in my near future.

Looks like the coast is clear for now. The hacking of Chunk’s page seems to have stopped.

Chunk has been part of this study for a few years now. It’s easy 😀

Can you help us recruit some very good doggos?

Our data scientists have been busy crunching numbers and analyzing data in order to determine if we are meeting key scientific targets. Do we have enough dogs in the Pack in all age groups? In all sizes? From all parts of the country?

The short answer is: We’re close but not quite there yet❗️

We are still recruiting dogs of all ages, all breeds, all sizes, all across the United States (one per household)... but we would especially love to meet more dogs in these areas:
🐶 Puppies and young dogs, up to age 3
🐕 Large dogs, both purebred and mix breed
🐾 Dogs from certain geographic regions

Help spread the word! Have a friend in one of the purple areas on the map? Does your dog play with a big dog? Know someone with puppies?

Mom took me to visit people 😀. I think something happened to our van too. I’m getting to go out again 😃 just hoping I don’t run into other dogs. @ O'Brien Toyota of Peoria

This is me and my two sisters playing in the yard. I know they don’t look like me, they’re adopted but no need to tell them. Anyway, I’m having a blast again in the back yard. That 7 ft fence is like magic.
Tonight mom says we’re going to see my dog friends Henry and Maggie. I haven’t liked other dogs since the attack but I know Henry and Maggie. We’ll see. Mom says if I’m going to go back to being a therapy dog I don’t need to like other dogs but I can’t act out toward them either to scare them off. I mean, I’m just making sure it doesn’t happen again.
Anyway, mom keeps asking people to talk to the big boss (she calls him God) that these things go well. So if you’ve got some connections and can put in a good word for me I know she’d appreciate it!

I ran and played with my sister for about half an hour for the first time in a month (since the neighbor dog jumped the old fence and attacked me.) It was so great! I played so much and got so tired I forgot all about breakfast 😮

A huge thank you to my new friends Lisa And Steve for helping build a big fence between my yard and the yard of the dog who attacked me ❤️❤️❤️
