DOGS IN CARS ARE NOT COOL

It’s not cool to leave your dog in a hot car. On a 70-degree day, the temperature inside your vehicle can rise to 89 degrees in just 10 minutes! The City of Bay Village, with the help of Nancy Brown of Hot Diggity Dog, has started an initiative to educate residents and visitors about this danger by placing signage around town to remind folks not to leave King in the car. Way to go, Bay Village!
WACKY DOG NAMES

When it comes to wacky pooch names, it doesn’t get better than Dunkin Butterbeans. Nationwide pet health insurance recently recognized the most creative and quirky pet names, and a Golden Retriever’s moniker received top dog honors.
