Gibson isn't your average pet—he holds the Guinness record as the world's biggest dog! When measured in 2004, this Great Dane was 42 inches from his paws to his shoulders…but his owner, Sandy, says he's grown over an inch since then!
When Gibson is on his hind legs, he's 7'2"—that's an inch taller than NBA all-star Shaquille O'Neal.
Gibson's life isn't only about being in the spotlight. He knows the importance of giving back, so he volunteers as a licensed therapy dog. "His job is just to go around and make people happy and smile," Sandy says.
The innocence and curiosity of this baby is precious. Watch how the dog acknowledges his little friend. It will make you smile.Pawsitively yours,

What could this adorable puppy possibly have done wrong?
Parents, how many times have your kids given you the same eyes and were forgiven instantly for their misbehavior?

This fawn followed this Beagle home --- right through the doggie door --- in the Bittinger, MD. area recently. The owner came home to find the visitor had made himself right at home. This dog just accepted the fawn as a fellow living being that was in need of a friend. HMMMMMM do you think there are other living beings that could learn from this?
Take a moment to watch this video.It was at a Texas Tech Basketball game. The National Anthem is sung by five young ladies (ages 6-8). You have never heard it performed better than this!
An entire arena remains completely silent throughout the song. You could hear a pin drop.
The two young ladies on the right are six years old. The two in the middle are seven and the one on the left is eight.
Enjoy!

This picture of my son Ben taken 28 years ago, like his Dad, he is a Pittsburgh Steeler fan. It seems fitting to post this because of the upcoming Super Bowl. The much anticipated game is on Sunday Feb.1,2009.
Be sure to watch and help Ben and Dave cheer on their "Steelers"
The innocence and wonderment of a child.This picture reminds me of why I enjoy being in the presence of kids and their pets.
I love the intent look on the little boys face and the complete contentment of the cat.They are just enjoying each other on a very basic level. That is what I read into the picture. What are your thoughts about what this tiny duo might be thinking or feeling?
The little guy is a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog given to the Obama girls as a gift by that Portuguese water dog-lovin' senator himself, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. The girls named him Bo. Malia and Sasha chose the name, because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because first lady Michelle Obama's father was nicknamed Diddley, a source said. (Get it? Bo . . . Diddley?)
Bo's a handsome little guy. Well suited for formal occasions at the White House, he's got tuxedo-black fur, with a white chest, white paws and a rakish white goatee. Pawsitively adorable! Audie
We all remember Nov. 4th 2008 when President Obama gave his victory speech to the nation. In that speech he announced there would be a dog following he and his family to the White House. The day has come and Bo the 6 month old Portuguese Water Dog has found his forever home.
Bo may disagree, but many animal advocates are disappointed that Obama didn't go to a shelter or breed rescue group, partly because he set that expectation and because so many activists are focused on trying to reduce the number of animals euthanized at shelters, and there's no better person to make the case to the American public that you can get a great dog from a shelter than the president."
Let it be known that the First Family has pledged to make a donation to the Humane Society in lieu of a rescue adoption.
As for the many reputable dog breeders, they pour their heart and soul into raising healthy quality dogs and take all precautions that their pups go to the right families. In some cases, for example in Bo's situation, it didn't work out with his first pet parents. Because he came from a reputable breeder, there was a contract signed stating if the owners couldn't keep the dog it will be returned to them. This keeps the dogs from ending up in shelters.
What is your opinion on buying a dog from a breeder or rescuing one from a shelter? Pawsitive thoughts,
