My dad turned 56 this week. As is his tradition, he took the morning off and headed out to the country to do some bird hunting with his buddy Jet. Jet is 14, so he doesn’t have many hunts left in him, but when he saw my dad getting out the shotgun and whistle [...]

The dog, weighing well over 100 pounds, has become stuck to the inside of the freezer. “We’re going to have to let him thaw a little,” says the owner of the pet crematorium, shoving the chest freezer out of the garage into the sunlit parking lot of the office park.

When my pop last visited us he bought Porter a rope toy pretty similar to the one pictured here. Porter loves it—it’s the only toy he’ll seek out and bring to me, growling and whipping its knots into my shins to provoke me to play.

“It’s not like I want him to die,” I reminded them. [...]

You may not have heard of Togo, despite the fact that his team, led by Leonhard Seppala, brought the [...]

I grew up on and around farms, so my conception of dog care has changed quite a bit over the years as I’ve slowly transformed into a snotty, East Coast liberal. I mean, first I dress my bulldog Porter up in a humorous, humuilating tuxedo—you know, just for laughs—and the next thing you know I’m [...]

This is my dog Porter. He’s a pure-bred English Bulldog who was set to be shipped back to his breeder in Argentina because of an imperfection: he had “cherry eye,” a defect seen in many bug-eyed dogs that causes their tear glands to be pushed outside of the eye socket. We took him in at [...]
