Sunday links

I was cleaning out my computer files the other day (yes, a thrilling life I have) and I came across a photo I had snatched off the Toronto Animal Services site last year. There are two dogs in it, Max and Mini, and they had arrived together but were being adopted out individually.


The contrasting expressions on their two faces in this photo makes me laugh every time I see them. One's staring with a goofy smile off into the distance while the other is looking right into the camera, deeply concerned.

They weren't housed at the south shelter and I never found out what happened to them. I hope they each found good homes.

Last week, a reader sent a link to this image of a English Bulldog in the summer heat (info on original, taken by Laura Hickman in Ohio, can be found here). And people say Bulldogs aren't the smartest dogs:

Another reader link of a very loyal dog lying at the foot of his owner's funeral casket.


The owner was, Jon Tumilson, a member of a Navy Seal team, who was killed in Afghanistan, Aug. 6. More info here.

And from facebook: Are seals related to dogs?

Well, they both bark and also ...

  1. OH MY GOD!!! we adopted 'mini'!!! we adopted her from THS. she is doing so well and now know as 'millie'. her brother max was adopted to a nice family too (we were told by THS). this is such a precious picture. millie and max were requested not to be adopted together, as max was a bit dominant over her, but millie is adored by her sister sophie here at home. what a small, beautiful world!

  2. I'm very happy to hear about Millie. She looks like such a nice gentle dog. It's weird but I never grab photos from the TAS adoption site but this one, I just kept returning to it. Looking at it is like eating comfort food especially now that I know both dogs are with good families. If we're lucky, maybe we'll hear from Max' family too.

  3. The woman with the elephant seal is far braver than me!

    So happy to hear Mini/Millie found a wonderful forever home!
