Search a Site, Save a Doggie I'm a huge animal lover, so when I came across Dogpile, a search engine site that is trying to raise $1 million before 2009 to donate to animals in need, I wanted to get involved immediately. With the way the economy is right now, charities often suffer and people are more apt to give away pets due to financial woes. Similar to GoodSearch, which donates money to the charity of your choice, Dogpile will donate a portion of its search revenue to helping our furry friends.
I'd have to say Rose McGowan won me over when she appeared in the Dogs 101 episode featuring Boston Terriers – I knew she was an animal activist, but I didn't realize how dedicated she was to my fave breed! She volunteers with Boston Terrier Rescue Net, helping to place pups, and even had two smooshies of her own. Sadly she lost one of her precious pals, Fester, earlier this year but I'm glad to see her bringing Bug out and about – how cute is she?!
Pick up a Pet Wheel-Away ($78) in black, red, green, or this "zippy zebra" pattern. Not only is it perfect for jet-setting, hidden straps make it an easy backpack convert if you don't want to hold the handle or wheel it around. It comes with a padded bed for cross-country trips and the three-sided mesh feature helps your furry friend keep a watchful eye on you, too.
Check out a couple more pictures of Rose and Bug – snuggling and kissing her head, awwww! – below.
It's time again for the next episode of Dogs 101 on Animal Planet . . . and that means it's time for me to recap those pups we met in the last episode including these Westies. I've included a fun fact, and furry face, for each pooch – check 'em out in this slideshow, then tune into Animal Planet on Saturday at 8 p.m to meet five more breeds!
Don't let the frown fool you – Mac is ready to get down and party! He'll be bouncing off the walls any minute now, just you wait and see. He's really excited – can't you tell?
Congrats to Mac and cplast for being chosen as our Pet Pic of the Day! Be sure to submit your favorite photos to our Pet Pics group! I'll tell you how to get started when you read more
