People get crazy, they get aggressive and they’ll run you over if you’re not careful.

The Kindness of Strangers
This really made me smile. I saw this dog sitting in a pick up truck with the owner at a gas station outside of Whittier Alaska.

Does your dog have a heart on?
On their face, that is. What a great idea. Let’s try to make our dogs look goofy! Well, easier said than done. My dogs are no idiots. They are not going to “perform” unless there is food involved.
