Betty
White
When one thinks of celebrities
and animals, one can't help but think of Betty White. They go
hand in hand. Or paw in hand. That's because Betty White is as
passionate about animals as she is about acting, which is the
other reason we know and love her. A member of the Television
Hall of Fame and six-time Emmy Award winner for her roles which
have included The Happy Homemaker on The Mary Tyler Moore
Show and Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls,
this busy actress has been a part of television since 1949. Her
love of animals, however, started long before that.

How Dogs Think: What the World Looks Like to Them and Why They
Act the Way They Do
Bestselling author, psychologist,
and world-renowned expert on dog behavior and training Dr. Stanley
Coren presents the most informative, in-depth, fascinating book
yet on dogs with numerous funny, informative anecdotes, experiments,
and firsthand observations. It lets you see through a dog's eyes,
hear through his ears, and even sense the world through his nose.
How Dogs Think also answers questions about our canine
companions that have puzzled many: Can dogs count? Do they have
an appreciation of art or music? Can a dog learn how to do something
just by watching another dog or even a person do it? Do dogs dream?
What is the nature of dog personality? Which behaviors are prewired
into your dog, and which can you actually change? And, can dogs
actually sense future earthquakes or detect cancer? Find out the
answers to these questions and more.
Kathy Santo
"Dog Sense"
Whether
you have a puppy or an adult dog, a home- or sleep-wrecker (or
both), whether your dog has ingrained bad manners or simply hasn't
learned any good ones yet, you can quickly determine your dog's
"personality", the interplay of prime motivations, energy
level, work ethic, and emotional profile to tailor a regimen optimally
suited to his learning needs. Where "one-size" programs
typically founder in canine chaos and human frustration, the Santo
method carries you past failure. Even when your dog doesn't respond,
your understanding of him deepens and leads you to a better strategy.
The result is a lifetime of improving obedience, an ever more
confident and happy dog, and an ever more gratifying relationship
for you both.

Dogs Deserve Better
- Chain Off 2005
Saturday-Monday, July
2-4, 2005 is the Third Annual Chain Off. Last year, two women
chained themselves to doghouses in two different Pennsylvania
locations on th3e 4th of July in an effort to bring attention
to the issue of chaining a dog for life. DOGS DESERVE BETTER is
a nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing the chained dog,
and bringing our 'best friend' into the home and family. Listen as we talk to Tammy live while she is
being chained. Our question: "Why is she in a dress?"
