A wonderful "happy tails" story has been turned into a book!
Monica Stout, who is about to graduate from the University of Houston Clear Lake with a degree from the Digital Media Studies program, wrote this book as her graduate project.
Mandy's Heart is based on the experience of Monica and her family when they discovered a feral cat and her five wild kittens had taken up residence in the bushes adjacent to their home. The family got in touch with Second Chance Pets, who advised them how to trap and tame the kittens. The mother cat was spayed through the assistance of the Feral Cat Assistance program and given a home at a horse barn where other feral cats live. The kittens, with lots of love and patience, were successfully tamed and placed into good homes. Mandy, the smallest and most timid of the feral kittens, got to remain as the much loved pet of the family!
All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Second Chance Pets!
Learn More at Second Chance Pets Rescue Group and find out where to get the book!
Pedigree Launches New Drive
Tell us what "Every dog deserves...."
Inspired by the world’s most famous canine, McGruff the Crime Dog, The National Museum of Crime & Punishment would like to recognize those special dogs out there that protect and serve in their everyday life. Whether it be protecting the sofa from any fallen crumbs, serving the neighborhood by keeping the grass fertilized, or guarding doggie treats with extreme intensity we want to showcase how your special pooch serves you and your community.
Contest:
Each month we will select our favorite Canine Cop of the Month, and each monthly winner will qualify for the national vote to crown the Canine Cop of the Year. Submissions for each month must be received by the 25th at 5:00PM EST. All submissions received after that date will be considered for the following month. Winners will be announced on the 29th of each month.
Creativity and props are encouraged, but please make sure all submissions are family-friendly. Also, we will not tolerate any animal to be treated inhumanely to elicit a unique picture, so please do not put your dog in any situation that is dangerous or would appear to be dangerous for your pet.
Who is eligible? Any dog whose owners are legal residents of the United States, please see contest rules on entry form for more details. We're not necessarily looking for actual police or security dogs; we're looking for any animal that protects and serves in their own way. We believe that all dogs help protect and serve our homes and communities, so send us a photo showing us how your beloved pooch serves his/her role!

Purina's Dream Dog Park Competition
This spring Pedigree launched a brand new dry food formula – its best recipe ever. In celebration of this, the Brand will be donating more than 100,000 lbs of food to shelters across the country, because they believe “Every Dog Deserves” leading nutrition.
Chelsea Kane, of Dancing with the Stars fame, helped them kick off the “Every Dog Deserves” campaign by delivering the first 10,000 lbs food donation to the Amanda Foundation in Beverly Hills on June 1.
Throughout the month of June, they'll be asking dog lovers to help them help dogs by visiting their Pedigree Adoption Drive Facebook Page or their Twitter page with the hash tag (#everydogdeserves) to tell them why they think “Every Dog Deserves” the very best. For each Like, comment, @reply, re-tweet, photo upload, etc. directed at Pedigree they'll donate one pound of food (up to 100,000 pounds total). Every single engagement with Pedigree on Facebook and Twitter helps feed dogs.
