The new primetime PBS documentary, Through a Dog’s Eyes, follows the life-changing journey of recipients as they go through the heartwarming and sometimes difficult process of receiving and being matched with a service dog. Jennifer Arnold, founder of one of the nation’s largest service dog organizations, Canine Assistants, shows her unique teaching methods and lets viewers have an intimate look at the canine-recipient matching process. Based on the book of the same name by Jennifer Arnold, Through a Dog’s Eyes, premiering April 21, 2010 at 8pm ET/7pm CT (check local listings), will have you seeing dogs in a whole new light. The documentary is narrated by Neil Patrick Harris and funded by Milk-Bone® brand.
I’m looking forward to watching this documentary. I have always felt canine assistant dogs are really amazing and I can only imagine the bond they develop with their special human. These service dogs change so many people’s lifes and truly become their best friends.

In fact, they probably love your plants much more than you would like them to — chewing and eating your herb pots and tabletop flower arrangements is not only infuriating, but can even be dangerous if the wrong things are ingested. Today the blog The Creative Cat examined the whys [...]
