You’re scanning dog treat ingredient lists at the grocery store when you notice a pattern: chicken, rice, sweet potato, mystery “byproducts.” Then you see the price tag – $15 for a small bag of something your dog will demolish in...
The sound of shattering glass brings your dog running instead of hiding. By the time you get to the kitchen, they’re already sniffing the wreckage – or worse, licking at it with curious enthusiasm. You shoo them away, but the...

Your dog is lying next to you on the couch. The house is quiet. And then you hear it—a low, rolling gurrrrgle coming from their belly, loud enough that you both pause and look at each other. Is that normal?...
You catch your dog mid-crunch in the backyard, mandibles working overtime on something small and wriggling. A cricket. A beetle. You wince, but your dog? They’re in heaven. Turns out, your instinct to be grossed out might be outdated. Insects...
The laundry basket tipped over. You turned around for ten seconds, and when you looked back, your dog was chewing something. Or was chewing something. Past tense. Because now a sock is missing, and your dog is sitting there looking...
A Tibetan Mastiff once sold for $1.95 million. Not as a joke, not as a publicity stunt – as an actual transaction between a breeder and a buyer who wanted that specific dog. That’s more than most people spend on...
