Dogtown

So today I thought I'd write about my most favoritest TV show. And no, it's not American Idol or Stupid Pet Tricks. It's "Dogtown" on the National Geographic Channel. Dogtown is a show all about the place, Dogtown, at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. Dogtown takes in hundreds, even thousands, of dogs each year. These doggies have it pretty ruff before they get to Dogtown. Often they've been abused or neglected. They might have horrible health problems, or even just simple health problems that nobody has bothered to treat or care for them before. The good people there make sure these homeless doggies get quality medical care and teach them how to trust people and make friends with other doggies. Dogtown even has 22 of the dogs rescued from that big dog fight ring that was broken up in Virginia, the "Vicktory Dogs" they call them.

I was a rescued pup myself (more on that next month) but I can't even begin imagine what these dogs have been through in their lives. I'm so glad that there are places out there like Dogtown - places with people who love dogs SO much that they give so much of themselves to make dogs' lives better. Best Friends is our Charity of the Month for May. They do so much, I just can't say enough about them. Don't believe me? Watch the show yourself. The three episodes that have been aired already are available to watch online, with five new episodes (including one about the "Vicktory Dogs") will air this summer.
