(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!) | | | Scooter Crowned the World's Ugliest Dog
Scooter is a seven-year-old Chinese Crested. He has reversed hind legs and is nearly bald except for a patch of white wispy hairs. His tongue droops from his mouth sometimes. But Scooter is special. Linda Elmquist adopted him seven months ago, and has been working on a cart to help with his mobility. His talent of walking on his two front legs was possibly just the push he needed to come in first place in the World's Ugliest Dog competition.
This competition takes place each year in California, and it's meant to bring awareness to some of the more special traits of dogs. Each dog is uniquely beautiful and their imperfections are part of what makes them special. Scooter was saved by an advocacy group when he was younger, and they helped find him a home. There are plenty of dogs like Scooter that might be a little odd, but are wonderful and loving just the same. | | Worth Sniffing Out

Liver treats are packed with iron, copper, phosphorus, zinc, and essential fatty acids, plus they're extremely budget-friendly. These make perfect training treats for dogs, containing minimal ingredients and a strong smell that is guaranteed to catch their attention.
Homemade Oven-Baked Liver Treats
You'll need: beef liver (pick it up at your local butcher shop), a knife, baking paper, and an oven tray. - Preheat your oven to a low heat setting, such as 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Rinse the liver and dry it well with a paper towel.
- Cover the oven tray with baking paper.
- Chop the liver into thin slices using your knife. The thinner the slice, the crispier it will be.
- Place liver slices onto the tray, being careful not to let any pieces overlap.
- Bake in the oven for 4.5 - 7 hours, depending on how crispy you want the treats. Turn every 2 hours to cook evenly.
- Leave to cool in the oven.
- Once cooked, chop them into smaller pieces and put them in a sealable pouch until you're ready to treat your pup.

Vegetables contain many nutritious vitamins and minerals, but not all of them are safe to feed your dog. Broccoli can be fed to dogs in moderation. It's a great source of fiber and packed with vitamins. It also contains lutein, a nutrient supporting eye and heart health.
The main issue with feeding a dog too much broccoli is that it can cause them to become a bit gassy. The dietary fiber helps move things along too well, and when eaten in large quantities, it can cause digestive issues.
Treats for your dog should not exceed 10% of your dog's diet, including vegetables from the fridge. So, if you want to give your dog a little broccoli, it's OK, but keep an eye on them after the first time to make sure they don't get an upset stomach. Additionally, keep the quantity minimal. Cooked broccoli is easier for your dog to digest as well, but even if you feed it to them raw, make sure it's thoroughly washed and cleaned. | | | Image courtesy of Pawtracks. | | Did You Know:
