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.

Chief Warrant Officer Anderson has served his country overseas for years now. Soon, he is scheduled to head back home in America. But, the thought of leaving his two dogs Moose and Sergeant Mimi Morale behind weighs heavy in him. He rescued the two dogs from starvation and maltreatment. Since then, the two dogs have lived with him in his tent at the camp.

“I love these dogs like family, and I can’t walk away and leave family behind over here. I will forever be grateful to be able to take them back to the U.S. so they can continue being a part of my family,” said Anderson. Bringing the dogs back home would cost somewhere around $9,000. To ease the costs, Officer Anderson has reached out to Guardians of Rescue for help, a New York-based organization. To donate and support the cause of bringing the two dogs with Anderson home, visit the Guardians of Rescue donation site.

Landlords are no longer able to charge additional fees to tenants who are in need of emotional support animals (ESAs). As the fourth month of the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the need for ESAs to fight pandemic blues is much higher. Emotional Support Animals in this situation no longer require a certificate of training or formal training to qualify for no-fee legitimacy.

However, landlords can still require prospective tenants to submit written documentation from a health care professional to prove they are in need of an ESA. The new law also imposes harder penalties on people who misrepresent emotional service animals. Those who falsely claim an ESA will face a second-degree misdemeanor which is punishable by a $500 fine, community service, and possible incarceration.

Psychotherapist Dana Dorfman is a believer in The Pet Effect – the thought which suggests that getting a pet will make you happier and healthier. She is not alone in this as she has written, “A preponderance of evidence supports the contention that pets affect our overall health—mental and physical.” However, Psychology Today Blogger Marc Bekoff disagrees as he says, “The preponderance of the evidence does not support the hype about the curative powers of companion animals.”

So why are the “studies and evidence” of links between owning pets and human health more popular? And why is there no attention to contradictions on the health benefits of owning pets? As Hal Herzog, Ph.D. points out, nobody wants to write and read about these “Bad News” articles.

Breaking routine – Put boxes or small storage areas randomly in a room and put a treat in that storage. But first, you must close the door and not show where you put the treat. When you reopen the room, leave your pet alone for exploration and rediscovery.

Schedule a “Treat Time” – Keeping track of time when your pet needs a snack is hard especially when staying at home all day. Why not set a specific time where they receive one? Better yet, if you have kids make it a reward for them to treat your pet if they successfully complete a chore?

The box of invisibility – It might be new for your pet that you or all the family members are staying indoors for a long time. Put a box and set a rule – if the pet comes inside the box, they need to be ignored for their own relaxation.

Rebecca Griffin suffers from non-epileptic seizures, migraines, and hypoglycemia. Because of this, she availed a service dog to help her warn of an oncoming seizure. But service dogs can take a long time to be ready and would cost a lot. Then here comes Zoe. Three years before, Zoe was just an ordinary house pet. A dog Rebecca and her husband Nathaniel Abney adopted from a shelter when she was just 6 months old.

Right before Rebecca started to have her health problems, Zoe started alerting the couple about Rebecca’s incoming seizure for multiple occasions. “She is just amazing. She has really been an answered prayer, a Godsend,” said Abney. Because of this event, the couple took Zoe to Sandy Wittliff of Angel Paws in McGregor for formal service dog training.
