Ghost writer Anthony Majewski talked with us recently about his “Read with Max” series. Unfortunately, Max, Anthony’s yellow Lab and the actual author of series, had other commitments at the time of the interview. The first book in the Max series was Dogs Move Too!, a look at the what it’s like to move from the only home you’ve ever had – from a dog’s perspective … one that is much like a child’s. When Max found himself involved with Leader Dogs for the Blind, he decided it was time to write Dogs Work Too! There are also activity books and even a song, “Look At Me Now!” performed by 10-year-0ld actor, John Coleman Demers. Thanks for the great interview, Anthony! And Woof! to Max.

Central Virginia pet lovers are very lucky to have Mary Archer and company right in their backyard. RichmondPetLovers.com is the go-to resource for all things dog (and cat and fish and gerbil … well you get the idea). But never fear, even if you aren’t local, there is tons of great stuff on this website for you. There are the classifieds and contests, the blog and the directory. Mary and her sidekick Sarah shared a bit about this amazing online community in today’s episode.

In upstate New York there is a safe haven for abused animals. Pack Ethic is on 25 beautiful acres and is a place dogs can go to heal physically and emotionally. Eric Bellows, Keri Whitfield and Chad Bellows, live with, rescue, love and rehabilitate dogs who have no where else to go, no one to turn to. These three humans “… make every moment an opportunity for the balance of the pack. By fully providing for these dogs every hour of everyday, we earn their trust, their respect and their affection. In return, we offer them balance to replace fear and dominance.” In today’s episode of Bark Radio, Eric talks about his world and shares updates about some of our favorite rescues, including Joe Thunder. And the puppies … you have to hear about the puppies!

In today’s interview, Sherry Woodard tells us about fabulous program at Best Friends Animal Society. Best Friends’ Search and Service program started in May 2009.
