Meet Daniel, a 51-year-old psychotherapist, and Lara, a 4-year-old rescue mutt. Both had met at a difficult time in Daniel’s life. Daniel had just come out of a bad relationship breakup. He remembered his mom, Christine, asking him what he wanted out of life. Finally, he said, “I just want a dog, mum.”

On Mother’s Day, Daniel and Christine went to visit Battersea Dogs Home – a centre that helps dogs (and also cats) in need. After a 3-month process, Daniel was deemed by Dogs Home as a suitable foster for. Long story short, he and Lara met. Lara was totally at ease with him right from the start. Even strangers were able to notice the strong bond between them.

Now, Lara helps with Daniel’s private practice. “Many dogs are highly sensitive about human emotions, and Lara often puts her head gently on their lap if she can see someone is upset,” said Daniel.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs Senate Bill 1804. The law prohibits housing discrimination for people who need an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) due to a disability or special need. The bill was set in effect last July 1, 2020.

Housing providers, however, have the right to question or request information that supports a person’s need for an ESA. Disability determinations or receipts of disability benefits from the government are enough proofs.

Housing providers also cannot request information regarding the diagnosis or severity of the person’s condition or disability. This is to limit the disclosure of personal and medical information about the individual. Lastly, the new law prohibits housing providers to charge more for ESA accommodation.

North is a one-year-old Golden Retriever who proudly wears his yellow cape at the Memphis Zoo. He received early training from Canine Companions for Independence at the Hardeman County Correctional Facility under the puppy raising program.

To turn him into a more trustworthy and expertly trained assistance dog, his training for socialization must go further under Memphis Zoo Animal Curator Courtney Janney. Among this socialization training is basic obedience instruction with 30 commands.

The zoo will be the perfect training place for North because he will have the opportunity to walk amidst busy roads while socializing with strangers. His presence will also help in acclimating zoo animals to the sight of assistance dogs.

At Phoenix, Arizona, Milo Glasser keeps the mood brightened as 911 operators answer to stressful calls. Trained by THE FETCH FOUNDATION to be a support dog, Milo was once a rescue dog from Officer David Glasser’s family. When Officer Glasser was K.I.A. back in 2016, Milo joined the family of Myla Marovich – the Communications Bureau Manager of the Phoenix Police Department.

Julie Brewer, the Therapy and Service Dog Trainer at the FETCH FOUNDATION also said, “When they’re working a long shift and taking a lot of difficult calls, just having a dog there they can hug or pet can relieve that stress and anxiety.” The late officer’s legacy is shared as his serial number is on Milo’s vest. Above the serial number is the line “Love you,” – the phrase that Officer Glasser always said to his coworkers on a daily basis.

AniMel Haven’s founder Melanie James is in desperate need of help as her two grant applications have been refused. The grant was supposed to be used to build a home for wounded and abandoned animals.

The animals are currently living in her father’s greenhouse. Because she won’t turn down animals in need, the plant nursery is running out of space. Due to the lockdown, the situation has gone from bad to worse. “I feed and look after the birds and animals here by selling bric-a-brac and from donations from visitors to my dad’s business, Bank Mill Nurseries. Obviously it has been closed so that source of revenue has run out,” said James. For those interested to help, visit AnimMel Haven’s or Bank Mill Nurseries’ Facebook page for more inquiries.

Ever since Hythe View Nursing Home limited its visitations last March, they’ve noticed that the residents had missed the interaction with their furry friends. To remedy the situation and give the elders a comforting companion, the nursing home staff invested in two robopets.

The robodog was named Bonzo and the robocat was named Simba. Both were named by the elderly residents. These robopets are able to respond to the resident’s interactions. They also have a similar look and behavior of real cats and dogs!

“Residents who routinely engage with them have become less agitated, their mood has improved, and it’s reduced their reliance on calming medication,” Heather Heath, the Activities Coordinator said.

Swapnil Shah and Udit Chugh were just your normal college friends until they faced a problem – Where to find a boarding space for their furball because they need to travel. Eventually, they did find a safe and trusted space for their dog. But, they realized that the industry of pet boarding lacked technological innovation.

That’s the moment where they decided to create Pawfect.xyz – a platform that helps pet parents can book grooming sessions for their pets, find a temporary stay, find a trainer, and many other pet-related services.

“Using our app is relatively simple. We give the flexibility of time to the user so that they can choose the service, a time slot, share details of their pet, and pay. And, our service partner will fulfill the service at the time of their choice,” said Chugh.

Croatia’s Velebit Mountain Range is an arid area perfect for archeological digs. But, when a fierce wind known as “Bora” comes, the steep terrain can freeze at midday. This phenomenon makes it hard for archeologists like Vedrana Glavaš to dig and track prehistoric remains.

Glavaš, from the Croatian University of Zadar, along with her team was working on the Velebit Mountain when they discovered areas of a 3,000-year-old fort and necropolis. This is where Glavaš teamed up with Andrea Pintar, a dog trainer. Pintar’s services were essential to the dig because she and her company Canine Caffe has been training dogs to sniff out cadavers.

“We both wondered how far back in time her dogs could smell,” said Glavaš.
