Arrival Story:
Dirk was rescued by animal workers during hurricane Katrina. He made his way to Pet Rescue of MD, where we adopted him. He was incredibly shy and very withdrawn, but soon came out of his shell. He was so thankful for all of the help people have given him, he wanted to give back, so he is now a therapy dog for Karma Dogs! (www.karmadogs.org).

Bio:
Dirk loves his 2 brothers, Elliott and Ernie, who are also both rescues from Pet Rescue of MD (www.petrescueofmd.org). He is very watchful over Ernie, who is a blind border collie mix, and keeps him out of harms way. Dirk also likes to chase the kitties who live with him, but he does not allow outside dog friends to chase his kitty brothers. He is a very loyal hound!

What's a Karma Dog?:
Karma Dogs in a non-profit org. that takes rescue dogs and turns them into therapy dogs. Dirk is one of the first dogs to become a Karma Dog, along with pals Shamrock and Tasha. Dirk is now a HEARTS dog who helps kids to become better readers. Dirk will also be able to work with the developmentally disabled and go on visits in retirement centers and hospitals.

Can I be a Karma Dog?:
If you live in the Baltimore, MD area, Karma Dogs will be accepting volunteers early next spring. Karma Dogs is just starting out and needs donations of new hardcover kids books and money to cover the costs of implementing our program. Just one dollar will help. Visit www.karmadogs.org to learn more!

Dirk's favorite TV shows:
Dirk loves to watch tv with his mom, dad and brothers. He loves Veronica Mars and Friday Night Lights. Meerkat Manor is also spellbinding, but the meerkats are sometimes hard to tell apart. He also has a crush on Athena on Battlestar Galactica. Dirk doesn't care if she is part cylon- he just loves everyone!

I just finished my first ever Karma Dog reading program at the library. I will really miss seeing the kids! I hope a bunch of them come to the Towson Library and read with me there. I can't wait to make new friends. I hope some more dogs will become Karma Dogs so I can have even more pals to play with on Saturdays. Mom says the next place we are going will be really busy and hectic, so I can't wait.

Ernie keeps getting in trouble because he keeps eating mom's shoes. She says she doesn't have any good shoes left and is MAD. But why does she leave them on the floor for him to eat? He can't see- duh. He just sniffs them and they beg to be eaten. Maybe her feet should not smell delicious?

 

I love Dogzilla and Kat Kong!

I just found my new favorite books yesterday. They are called Kat Kong and Dogzilla. They are written by a guy named Dav Pilkey and he is really funny! They take place in a town called Mouseopolis. I read them both for the first time yesterday and they are hilarious! At first, they seemed scary, as Kat Kong looks EXACTLY like my kitty bro, Scout. However, they are too funny to be scary. I am so glad my friend Danny found them for me!! I can't wait to read everything he has written. He also write the Captain Underpants books, but no one ever reads them to me. I love reading whatever books the kids pick out for me, but I would secretly like to know what Captain Underpants or Walter the Farting Dog are up to. I just really like to read books that make me giggle. I am not sure if anyone can TELL I am giggling, but I do- alot! I especially love the Biscuit books and anything by Ramona Cleary. If you have not yet read Dogzilla or Kat Kong, you should run to the library and read them now. They are the best!

 

I am famous!

Woof! I had so much fun at the library yesterday! I saw lots of my new friends again- they came back to see me! I heard some great stories and read a bunch of books. Even more Scooby Doo! I can't wait too see how the Mystery Machine story ends. I love it when people do Scooby's voice- it makes me giggle. Tasha had fun too. Vito made a lot of new friends and I think is starting his own fan club. Reading at the library is the best. I don't know why more dogs don't do it. If I can make more dog friends that would be good at it, we can read to more kids. Afterall, I am only one dog and my pesky mom won't drive me around all day. I can't wait for my brother Ernie to start. He can never learn to read- he is totally blind, so he is counting on people reading to him. He is too jumpy to learn braille. I told him he would have to stop being so silly and calm down before he can read with kids. You have to pay attention. Right now, he can't pay attention to anything. For someone who can't see, he focuses on a bunch of stuff at one time! One of the coolest things was talking to the man on the radio. Mom helped me make sound effects with my collar and we squeaked a toy. I had a lot to say, I was just too excited to talk! I hope it makes it on the radio. That would be the coolest ever! Except reading books about Ramona Quimby and Olivia The Pig. I think they are my favorites right now. And Scooby Doo or any books about dogs. I hope someone will read me some Ramona books!
