Summary: Former Navy Seal Michael Ritland created a non-profit to help military dogs transition to civilian life. Just like our human soldiers, dogs need help acclimating back into a normal environment. Small noises can cause extreme emotional distress in our enlisted canines. Also, the Aloft Hotel is Asheville, North Carolina is helping the local shelter find homes for adoptable dogs with their unique program. So far they’ve found homes for almost two-dozen dog. Wait until you hear how they’re doing it. Also, most stores are no longer selling jerky pet treats made in China. The treats were connected to thousands of dogs getting sick and at more than one thousand deaths. But the FDA could never determine WHAT it was in the treats that were causing the issues. With the treats off the shelves, for the most part, the number of complaints to the FDA has gone down dramatically, but the agency says it still plans to continue its investigation. Also, a Florida Police Dog is being kicked off the for for biting a Dunkin’ Donuts worker in the calf. “Renzo” had been a police dog for about a year. This is his second bite incident.
