Stella is an 18-month-old pup with an impressive skill—she can talk! Communication is a constant struggle between humans and dogs. We don’t speak the same language, and discerning a dog’s needs isn’t easy when you’re interpreting tail wags, whines, and barks. Most of us do our best to learn canine body language, but 26-year-old Christina

We know your phone is full of nothing but dog pictures. Your dog’s face is on your lock screen, your home screen, and your Instagram is basically dedicated to their extreme cuteness.

A small living space shouldn’t stop you from being a pup parent. Apartment living means no lawn care to worry about and less square-footage to clean, but those perks also come with a few disadvantages.

Nothing says forever like ink if you ask me. If you’re a dog lover, then chances are you wear it proudly like a badge of honor.

I don’t care who you are, puppies are downright adorable. The way that they follow you around the house, stare up at you with those oh-so-precious eyes, that puppy breath, those tiny teeth, okay, okay, you get it. Imagine this for a moment.

Who else has spent hours agonizing over the perfect name for their new dog? When I went to the shelter to adopt my first dog (as in the first dog that would be 100% mine), I fell in love with a cutie with golden eyes. The shelter named him Pepper, but besides a smattering of

If you’re anything like me, you consider #crazydogmom to be the highest form of flattery. Do we go out of our way to make our dogs happy? Heck yes! Do we spend way too much money on things like dog puzzles and organic treats? Probably. Do we love our dogs more than most humans? You’re

There’s never a dull moment when you have a mischievous dog! When Dylan Raynor, 21, and his mom came home from a shopping trip, they were appalled to find their home a complete disaster. Entire cabinets had been emptied with the contents strewn on the floor. The trash can was upended in the kitchen, and

Nothing says merry and bright like a happy dog! ‘Twas the days before Christmas when all through the land, cameras were clicking at the dogs of Instagram.
