Dog Blood Banks Save Canine Lives
Checkers and his owner, veterinary technician Bonnie Heitz, acted as heroes, even though their names never made the headlines. While this pair may not be familiar to you, Checkers, the Australian Shepherd from Concord, Calif. donated blood to save the lives of countless dogs that required blood transfusions to treat trauma, cancer, and other life-threatening conditions. These dogs were given a second chance because of Checkers, who passed away at a ripe old age in 1990. Both he and his owner helped inspire additional canine blood donations, which have since led to organized dog blood banks nationwide

Your furry friend can't exactly take a taste test or raise a paw and tell you if he's not getting his recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals. Size up Your Dog's Food Needs When George Kantor took his pug Sadie to his mother's country home for the holidays, the New York City psychologist forgot to bring his diminutive dog's small-breed kibble.

"If you know pugs, they never turn down a meal, and Sadie is no exception," says Kantor. But the pug's holiday meal soon turned sour.

"A lot of words that sound pretty good are on the packaging, but I'm not always sure exactly what they mean, and I end up spending way too long in the pet store." Is Virtual Fun in Your Dog's Future?
