Littlest Angel Vest
The Philly Dog clued me in on the Littlest Angel Vest, a product for blind dogs, made by Shari Burghart in Springfield, Virginia. Shari created the vest when her 15-year-old miniature schnauzer, Scooter, became blind from inoperable diabetic cataracts. The vest, made from denim or cotton, has a plastic tube halo that surrounds the front of the dog, acting like a white cane would for a blind person. Shari developed the Littlest Angel Vest because she wanted to give Scooter a way of moving around with confidence and safety.
Cats and Dogs Do the Mashed Potato
Serious Eats posted this video roundup of cats and dogs chowing down on mashed potatoes. Why? Because it’s cute, of course. I’m not sure which tater-lovin’ pet is my fave, but I think it’s a tie between the nom nom-ing bulldog (and his funny cat friend lurking in the background) and Winston.
Abandoned Greyhound Cares for a Sanctuary of Animals
Proof # 1,345,762 that dogs rule: When Jasmine was found in a garden shed seven years ago, she was an abandoned greyhound starved for food and affection. Local police took the shivering pup to the Nuneaten Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary to rehabilitate, but when it was time for her to find a forever home Jasmine figured out a way to finagle a permanent spot at the sanctuary.
Golden Market, Church Street, S.F.
Curbed
No pets are allowed inside the store, but does it count if the dog is just inside the store's door? I think it's OK, especially cuz this pup is so cute.
