Big Dog Meets Small Dog - A Wonderful Friendship

Big Dogs and small dogs can they get along?  Small dogs are known for having a mind set of a big dog! And because more often these baby dogs show no fear on larger dogs, they tend to be provocative, such stubbornness  leads to trouble.

Because of our human nature, we act as protectors of our little dogs, often times we pick them up and hold them in our arms above the other dogs,  so they never learn proper greetings. This  deprives the dog to learn proper social skills with other animals and people. Of course, we do need to protect them. Whenever dogs are off lead, we should super­vise them closely. For safety, small dogs can be kept on a loose lead and be picked up only when necessary.  

However, if you have well behaved trained dogs that submit and can socialize with any dogs regardless of size and breed, then introducing your small dog will not be a problem but beneficial.

Here's a video of my two dogs, Loki a 3 yr old large mixed dog and Korbel a 2 months old Shih Tzu that shows how well they get along.

PACMAN: The Dog I Adopted from the Street

It has been past seven months since my father died, and if he still lives today, surely, he'll be very glad and amazed to meet the neglected dog I found in the street. My dad loves my dogs so much because he finds my pets very amusing. Sad to say he missed to see the most submissive and affectionate dog I brought in his home. Surprisingly, this dog who came out of nowhere, skittish, skinny, wounded, and infested with fleas, obviously showing all the signs of neglect, appeared to be a very kind, obedient dog.

I will never forget the morning walk with my two dogs when suddenly this awful looking pooch came to follow us, he was so persistent in spite the many times I tried to drive him away.  The dog was acting like he have known me for years, he's just there trying to get my attention, he continued to follow us till we got back home. I ignored the dog and thought that he would give up and simply go away, but I was wrong. The dog stayed and slept near our gate till the next day, so I thought of asking people from the neighborhood if they knew the owner of the stray dog, unfortunately no one claims. I was saddened to realize that the poor dog has really no home and obviously hungry and begging for food. And so I took and feed him, named him PACMAN and that started the beginning of a loyal and good friendship that was really meant to be. I was thankful that I found him because he can easily be a victim of an unfriendly & cruel environment.

Besides being submissive and loving, Pacman is a smart canine. It didn't took a while for him to learn the basics of obedience training. All he asks is praise and a loving touch to his face every time he follows a command, gestures that he was certainly deprived of.

The most important thing that Pacman does besides being a pet & watchdog is a consoling and affectionate loyal companion to my widowed mother. Every morning Pacman will bunt & sit next to my mom's lap  keeping her company.



I always believe that dogs bring happiness, love and hope to people especially to those in stress and in grief.

Cute dogs - you cannot resist their charm. I am talking about dogs doing therapy work here. What they do is to give comfort and provide a very calming presence to those people that are admitted in the hospital, nursing homes, and other stressful situations. They do not really have to have a specific type of breed in order to become a therapy worker as long as they are sociable enough to be around people all the time and they have to be obedient. Usually smaller dogs work well in most of these situations. They are usually very cute and if you are going to toss in some things like accessories that would make them cuter, all the better.

Service And Assistance WorkImage via Wikipedia

Many movies have portrayed it and heck, you can even see it sometimes as you walk down the street. Dogs do service and assistant work especially to disabled individuals. These are guide dogs, hearing dogs, mobility assistance, autism dogs, psychiatric service, and mobility assistance. Humans should be really thankful for these dogs as they are making our lives easier to deal with.

Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies are the most common dog breeds that make a good sled dogs. Even until now, dog sleds are being used to travel through terrains that are impossible to pass. Back in the day they were used to go through terrains during the first expeditions to the north and south poles. Now, apart from letting people travel, they also travel to deliver medications and supplies to towns that are very isolated and hard to reach.

Search and Rescue

Dogs that are able to participate in search and rescue operations make the lives of the investigators much easier. Dogs have more powerful scenting abilities and that is why they are more able to detect the scent of missing individuals - either dead or alive. They do this in dangerous weather, through the wilderness and even underwater.

And the last of these 5 amazing jobs dogs do is herding. This is very common to people who are living in the countryside especially in Europe. Dogs help in leading a number of kinds of livestock like sheep, fowls, and cattle among others. The most common herding dogs are Australian Cattle Dogs, Border Collies, and Kelpies.

Dogs have been a companion to people for a very long time and it is easy to see why. They do so much to improve the quality of life for us and they ask for little in return. It is no wonder that we spoil them like we do.
