Beasts of Burden graphic novel casts household pets as supernatural investigators To say that Beasts of Burden, a graphic novel written by Evan Dorkin with painted artwork by Jill Thompson, is a unique animal story is a profound understatement. The book collects several short stories about the Wise Dog Society, a group of neighborhood canines ( and one cat, known as " The Orphan " ) who investigate paranormal events in the to...Read More

Pet treats: candy for animals, for good and ill Though pet treats are often marketed as having benefits for the animals ( such as dental hygiene or encouraging good behavior ), they unfortunately aren't that different from human treats. The way pet treats work is similar to candy, sweet-tasting and easy to digest, and creating a neurological rush that leads to cravings. Unfortunately, this is...Read More

Animal Farm - How far is too far in treating your pets like humans? Just yesterday I was walking on the sidewalk and saw a woman walking her dog.  I was wearing sandals, the woman was wearing heals, and the dog was wearing sneakers.  The dog could have hurt its feet before, could have just got its nails done, or whatever, but it still left me thinking how the dog must feel ("I am so humiliated, I can't...Read More

Custody Battles for Pets Breaking up is never fun. Especially when you have to divide things that you jointly owned- like a pet. Pet custody may seem like child custody for many people facing painful breakups. Unfortunately, the law hasn’t quite caught up to pet custody. Recently in New Jersey,  a law was passed to give custody of a pet to one person who ...Read More

Declawing... the bitter truth. With all of the new alternatives to declawing that there are now, it seems crazy to me that people would still have a cat declawed. I understand the annoyance factor when it comes to furniture, and of course the threat to children, but at the end of the day our cats are wild animals, no matter how tame they seem with us, and they deserve a way t...Read More
