Rob Lauver asked Terri Heck of Summit Search and Rescue k-9 and current President of the Pennsylvania State Working Animal Foundation (PSWAF) to serve on a committee for creating a memorial in honor of Pennsylvania’s working dogs.

“A lot of people don’t know the wonderful things that dogs, some horses, some cats, and other animals do for us from a working perspective,” says Heck. Those living in Pennsylvania owning or have owned a service or working animal can have their companions honored on the memorial.

One of the project’s purposes is to raise awareness about the importance of animals and the roles they fulfill in various working settings. So that in the future, more people would know how to help working animals perform their jobs effectively if they were to see one in public.

The moment a person considers ending their life, making them change their decision becomes a difficult responsibility for everyone else. That’s why when first responders of southwestern England were called, the negotiations didn’t go well, especially for the police.

Luckily, Digby the therapy dog came. “One of the fire crews had the idea to bring along Digby, our ‘defusing’ dog,” said the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service (DSFRS) in a Twitter post.

The woman who was standing over the guard railings of a bridge near Exeter saw Digby. In the same Twitter thread, the DSFRS added, “She was asked if she would like to come and meet Digby if she came back over the railings, which we are pleased to say she did.”

All in all, the day had a happy ending. Our best wishes go to the woman so that she may have a successful recovery.

Pets aren’t just guardians of our homes who drive away pests and alarm us for the presence of intruders. They can also keep our children healthy. A pet’s playful nature encourages kids to engage in physical activities. Their cuddly presence calms younglings during times of stress.

And last but not the least, a child who lives in a home with a pet has a low chance of feeling alone. But the best benefit of owning a pet is that showering one with affection will also return this love to you and your children multiple times over.

Even a study suggests that owning a pet helps your child develop good social skills. If your kids ask for a pet, these are a few good reasons to consider.

Lila is a two-year-old black Labrador. She will officially join the Capitol Police as the first emotional support animal of the agency on July 5. Her presence is highly needed for staff, officers, and members of the house of representatives who were traumatized by the riot.

In a tweet, the agency said, “We are thrilled to welcome the newest member of our Department!” Lila won’t be the only emotional support animal enlisted to the force as she cannot de-stress all members of the department.

According to the website of the U.S. Capitol police, they have 2,000 officers and more than 350 civilian employees under oath. More emotional support animals will join and they are still probably under training.

Twelve teams graduate from the training of the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) Sagip K9 unit. They are the first batch of graduates and each dog has their own origin story. Some were stray dogs. Others were roaming animals. A few were pets of the university residents and staff.

One of them was Kotton. He came to the College of Mass Communication dirty and ridden with mange and fleas. Professor Khrysta Imperial Rara took him to the veterinarian. When Kotton recovered, he became a resident where students of the college would pet him during in-person classes. The training of these dogs is credited to Professor Rara and Coach Lumbao.

The Wildlife Rescue Center of Ballwin saw a rising number of patients it saved last year. It was recorded that somewhere along 3,500 animals were treated by volunteers and a small pool of staff. Although the uptick isn’t that surprising, the numbers recorded in 2019 have a huge difference from the ones in 2020.

“Now kind of the working theory is [that] possibly because people were home more, they perhaps were in their yards and encountering animals,” executive director Kim Rutledge explained on Friday’s show. Since people are being more aware of wildlife rehabilitation, the number of these animal rescue cases could rise even higher in the following years.

A therapy dog is not a service dog and does not have public access under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). They are not trained to perform specific tasks aside from being present to comfort an owner or patient. When therapy and service dogs are near each other, the presence of a therapy dog can severely distract a service dog at work.

In the case of Emily Sullivan and her service dog, Damian, he failed to detect Emily having low blood sugar because a therapy dog approached both of them inside a Walmart and out on the parking lot. This caused Emily to fall on the ground endangering her life.

While this is a tragic case for people in genuine need of a service animal, it’s also a good wake-up call to those who are abusing the use of therapy animals. Not knowing the limitations of their therapy animal’s rights can endanger other people’s lives. As Emily said, “Service dogs, fake or otherwise, must be under your control.”
