Blog follows the antics and lives of my two dogs Harley, a 110 lb Newfoundland - Sheppard cross and Bailey, a 95 pound Newfoundland - ??????????? cross. As well serves to promote rescue organizations, and give a bit of history as to my interest in dogs.

Rememberance Day
Today we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedom. Man's best friend also made a contribution rescuing wounded soldiers from the battlefield during World War 1. St. Bernard's were sent in to the rescue efforts, and almost disappeared as a bread as a result. Newfoundlanders were sent in afterwards to ensure the breed survived. However, the war to end all wars, did not succeed. We are still fighting each other. May peace prosper, so that we do not have additional names to add to the list of those remembered.
