"Hey, human moms and dads—here’s what happens to my paws when you take me out in the blazing sun ☀️ and the pavement is scorching! I sweat through my paws, and when it's this hot, I can't cool off because my paws are burning. Skipping a walk won’t hurt me—let me chill inside and take me out once the sun goes down." 🐾
If you spot someone walking their dog on hot pavement, kindly suggest they try it barefoot for the rest of the way. They might just understand how much it hurts.
Big thanks to 8 Below Husky Rescue for this important reminder 🙏.

After 56 hours of tireless search and rescue operations, a hero finally rests. This heroic dog has proven that selflessness, dedication, and courage know no bounds. It’s a reminder of the unseen sacrifices made by those who serve others, whether in uniform or not. Sometimes, heroism isn’t just about action—it’s about enduring for as long as it takes.

True service often involves long hours, hard work, and even personal sacrifice, but the rewards are immeasurable. This dog didn’t stop until every person had been found, showing us what it means to give everything without expecting anything in return. It’s not about the applause, but about the lives saved along the way.

How do you show resilience and selflessness in your own life? 🐕🌟

☀️ Summer begins today — and a major heat wave is right behind it. ⚠️

From overheating and sunburn to dehydration and heatstroke, extreme temperatures can be life-threatening for both dogs and cats.

This quick guide shares simple steps to help keep your dog safe in the summer heat. While it's especially important for brachycephalic breeds, dogs with dark coats, and those with underlying health conditions, high temperatures pose a risk to all dogs.

The safest place for your pet during extreme heat is indoors, ideally with air conditioning.
