Lao Pan died earlier this month at the age of 68 in the eastern Chinese village of Panjiatun. He had no wife or children and few relatives to speak of. His death would have gone largely unnoticed to those outside his village except for one thing (a furry thing) - his close companionship with a dog.
This fur brother, whose name we do not know...

Forty Beagles arrived at LAX last Wednesday after being rescued by the Beagle Freedom Project from an animal testing laboratory in Spain. These poor dears are all fur brothers ranging in age from four to seven years young. They've spent their entire lives in cages within the laboratory. Many of them have injuries and scars from the testing.
From the moment they were born they were literally in a cage...

As the last leaves fall to the ground and into the leaf collectors (what my human papa refers to as gutters), it is time to snuggle up with the ones you hold most dear to celebrate Thanksgiving and all of the other wonderful holidays to come. I love this time of year: the smell of leaves, winter in the air, Thanksgiving dinner, baked goods and an endless variety of treats that make me slobber so much that my human mama has to wipe my little jowls. And this is just the beginning! Christmas, Hanukkah and other wonderful holidays will be upon us soon. I can already smell the Christmas trees and see the amazing, sparkly lights inside and out that will decorate my territory. And there will be so many more treats for my eyes, nose and ears to digest. I think I'm going to howl!
I have an amazing home with many warm laps to occupy and undoubtedly a few too many tasty treats (as my lady veterinarian will tell you). Some of my fur brothers and sisters are not so fortunate because they have not found a furever home yet. Many of them have had a rough life and just want someone to love. All of them have a unique story to tell and personalities that will light up any room. Dear humans, if you have been considering a new furry friend, this is the best time of year to follow through.
You won't actually find a pet. You will find a dear friend who has been waiting for this moment all along...
