• most intelligent dogs

  It is very thoughtful of you to make a list in alphabetical order. Most of the tops read so far are just copying the list of top dogs, whether they are intelligent or not. For the majority of dog owners these tops don't count much but for those that have no clue, it might be a starting point for a change, as getting a dog, so this list is good to use.

• service animals to the disabled

  Hi I had a dog that I trained to be my service animal. He was great medically for me. I don't understand why some people wont respect not only the person who needs a service animal but the dog also. I currently went threw a situation where a person temporally watch my sa and then I took hm back. He knew everything about me and all about my disabilities he had also saved my life many times. When he passed a way on Oct 31 2012 I was told that I hurt him causing him to die. I just want people to understand when a person has a service animal it is because they have a debuilatating illness and it can be something other than a blindness. Mine helped my illnesses and was a great companion to me. Please be sensitive to people who need these animals and don't judge the person or dog who is working. We all need to be loved and respected.

• Two year old goldendoodle looking for a new home

  We have a 2 year old, spayed, female goldendoodle that needs a new home. She is current with all of her shots, and has been on frontline and heartworm prevention since she was 12 weeks. She is housebroken and has good household manners. She only chews on rawhide bones not on furniture or shoes. She is good with obedience commands and will stay for long periods of time or until released. She loves to play catch, fetch, and hide and seek. She is extremely smart! And this may be her downfall. Although usually sweet with our young children, she can be bossy. She would like to think she is in control of them. She would be better suited with an adult family or a family with teenagers. We love her and will miss her. The children will be crushed to lose her but finding a new home for this dog is the best decision for our dog and our family. We are in the Cleveland/Akron area.

• Despicable

  Every. Last. Bad. Thing. Despicable. Several dogs, cats, ALL animals have gone through abuse and sometimes we aren't able to find them before it's too late. Why does it happen? Because some people are just so sick and messed up that they have the audacity to bring it out on others. Specifically the ones they know won't fight back. The ones that are innocent and caring, turned into petrified and shivering animals. Who could be so disgusting? Well, take a look around. Our world is filled with sin and disgrace. And those who take it to the next level should ALL be reprehended. Look at me; it's so noticeable that a 12-YEAR OLD can see it! Whether it's abuse, or just careless terrorism, it needs to be stopped. But the only ones who can fix it are the ones who speak up. So everyone needs to speak up, pass it around, and hopefully we can all stop animal abuse. Thank you to all who looked at this, and may all beaten to death (the word makes me shiver) pets, including my one friend's dog who had died in a car crash, rest in peace.
