(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!) | | | Sad Husky Puppy Finds a Happy Home
When a rescue team went into a property in Harbin, China, they found more than 2,000 dogs, but one stood out for the saddest reason. This husky puppy was afraid and hiding in the corner. The volunteers worked to gain the pup's trust. It was clear she had been neglected for a significant amount of time. They named the dog Harriet and got her in to see a vet who estimated her age at about eight months old.
Harriet stayed with the volunteer team for two months to recover and emerge from her shell. Meanwhile, a woman in Canada was inspired to adopt Harriet after seeing her photograph online. A volunteer flew with Harriet to San Francisco where the two met for the first time. She is now settled into her new home with a new name, Bailey. She lives with three other dogs, and they get along so well. We love a happy adoption story!

Bishop hit the jackpot when his family adopted him. After settling into his new home, he took his first vacation, and the destination was the ocean. They took a road trip to Maine, and Bishop got to experience all the sights and smells of the Atlantic Ocean. He even got some tiny tastes of french fries and lobster rolls. These were experiences that the whole family can remember fondly. | | | Image courtesy of The Animal Rescue | | Keep Your Pup Stress-Free During The Holidays

Hemp seeds are known as a super-food because they are rich in healthy fats, like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They contain just trace amounts of THC, so they don't cause any psychoactive effects like marijuana. There are some great benefits for dogs with hemp seeds in their diet. - Rich in essential fatty acids.
- High-quality protein source.
- Helps lower the risk of heart disease.
- Beneficial for digestive health.
- Anti-inflammatory properties.
- Supports the immune system.
- Assists with weight management.
If you want to introduce hemp seeds to your dog's diet, start with just a small amount, like half of a tablespoon. You can sprinkle it over their food or make your own homemade treats. Hemp seed oil is another popular option for dogs.
Some dogs may experience some side effects or allergic reactions to hemp seeds. Watch for discomfort in digestion because of the amount of fiber in hemp seeds. It's also good to talk to your vet before introducing hemp seeds because it can impact some medications and conditions in dogs.
