Pet Memorial Parks at Bideawee on Long Island has been a resting place for over 65,000 animals since 1916. They offer a wide variety of memorial services, from burial/cremation to transportation. In fact, some notable figures have buried their pets in Pet Memorial Parks – for example, Richard Nixon, who buried his pet dog Checkers while he was still practicing law.

According to Maureen Fergus, Bideawee’s Special Projects Manager, around 450 cremations and 400 burials are performed each year. While cats and dogs are mostly brought into the park, there are also other unique animals such as a pet skunk, an alligator, and a giant tortoise.

In September, they will be celebrating Pet Memorial Day at the Wantagh location. This celebration is open to the public and there will be various activities such as candle lighting, tree seedling distribution, and more.

Buc is a 5-year-old miniature horse at Nemours Children’s Specialty Care. Buc is new, and he was rescued by Dale Dunn and Chris Dunn with Pet Partners of North Florida. When Buc first arrived, he was being cared for 24/7 since he was badly injured. Now, he brings smiles to children and their families at Nemours.

According to Jennifer Pfieffer, a nurse manager who has done animal assistant work for 10 years, “Buc shows that you don’t have to be a shiny penny to be loved.” She says that animals have an amazing ability to heal people and that they can lower people’s heart rate and blood pressure.

Ever heard of Mountain Horse Farm? It’s a 33-acre break and breakfast retreat center situated in the Finger Lakes region of New York. You’ll find Bella and Bonnie there – two pet highland cows who would love to cuddle with you.

Providing animal-based therapy, Bella and Bonnie were purchased by Mr. and Ms. Vullers – the co-owners of Mountain Horse Farm who traded their corporate lives to set up their farm. While neither of them has a psychology degree, they can read the cows’ moods to make sure that people can interact with them safely. Their number one advice to everyone is to stay calm when around the cows since they can sense emotions.

On July 7, a special event was held where hundreds of bikers participated in. It was a ride for a cause, the 16th annual Hogs for Dogs benefit ride, held at Denney’s Harley-Davidson. The purpose of the ride was to raise money for no-kill animal shelter ​Castaway Animals Rescue Effort (CARE).

One of the riders was Rod Petersen and his dog, Stingray. Petersen and Stingray have been together for over 12 years. Petersen calls Stingray his pro bike companion. Stingray isn’t just a regular dog, but she has also been trained to be a service dog. She senses drops in Petersen’s blood sugar and when he gets stressed out.

The Hogs for Dogs benefit ride raised awareness of animal homelessness. Hopefully, the event is able to raise $33,000 as it did in 2018.

Some people cannot handle the idea of dog euthanasia because of chronic pain. Rob Landry, a veterinary pain specialist at the Colorado Center for Animal Pain Management & Rehabilitation, is sick of it too.

That is why he teamed up with a neuroscientist named Linda Watkins. Watkins invented a gene therapy, in the form of a one-time injection, that helps in the production of anti-inflammatory cytokine.

Shane, a dog that suffers from chronic pain, was able to benefit from the therapy. 8 years ago, Shane was in a car accident, and because of that, he could not go to the bathroom for longer than 5 minutes. He received the treatment and the result was amazing.
