It’s wonderful to see animals finally being recognised for what we’ve always known them to be — sentient beings with thoughts, feelings, and deep emotional connections to us.

In animal-centric Brazil, the state of São Paulo will now allow animals to be buried in family graves, recognising “the emotional bond” between humans and their household pets. What a powerful and compassionate step forward.

Our pets aren’t “just animals” — they’re family.

I’m really pleased to share that I’ve had a blog published on the AEDC – Anthrozoology Education Dogs & Canines website, run by Marco Adda
The blog explores what it truly means to be a Romanian rescue dog — and the very real challenges many of these dogs face when transitioning from survival on the streets to life in a domestic home. Issues around fear, adjustment, trust, and understanding are so often misunderstood, and this piece aims to bring awareness, compassion, and education to those realities.
A huge thank you to Marco Adda for featuring my blog on the AEDC website and for the important educational work AEDC continues to do around the human–canine bond.
I also want to highlight the ongoing work of Freedom Angels Romania, and the wonderful work they do for Romanian dogs every day.
The AEDC website hosts many thought-provoking and insightful blogs, well worth exploring if you’re interested in free roaming dogs, study of dogs, well-being and human -dog relationships.
Please have a read, like, and share — particularly if you’ve adopted, or are thinking of adopting, a Romanian rescue dog. Understanding their background can make a huge difference to their transition into home life.

🐾 Meet Ernie 🐾
A lovely standard wire-haired Dachshund I treated yesterday ❤️(I am a little bit in love!)

Ernie is recovering from trapped nerves in his lower back — something unfortunately quite common in Dachshunds due to their long backs.

He’s currently on crate rest and anti-inflammatory medication and did brilliantly during his first myotherapy session, completely relaxed after at home!💤

✨ Rehab focus:
Gentle myotherapy, hind-limb strengthening, and core stability to support his spine and help reduce the risk of future issues.

👉 Dachshund owners: if you notice back pain, stiffness, reluctance to move, or changes in gait, early rehabilitation support alongside your vet can make a real difference.

Heartbreaking

We have received an URGENT request from Sindhoor Pangal in India.
This is a heartbreaking situation for the street dogs in India, please help.

From Sindhoor:
Here's what is going on in India.
India’s Supreme Court is pushing for the “removal” of street dogs with no plan for what happens to them. With nearly 60 million free-living dogs, this is impossible and dangerous. We lack the infrastructure to house them, and removal dismantles public-health safeguards.

Community dogs act as a buffer between humans and other animals. They are easy to vaccinate and sterilise, creating stable, healthier populations. Removing them creates ecological vacuums, increases conflict, and breaks herd immunity. Dog populations rebound quickly—unvaccinated, unsocialised, and higher risk for bites and rabies. Mass sheltering only creates overcrowded biohazard zones.
Despite clear evidence, the courts are dismissing science, making unscientific remarks (see below), and proposing an unworkable solution—while municipalities without capacity are pushed into chaos.

This is dangerous policy-making.

The judges bizarre comments:
“A dog can always smell a human who is afraid of dogs. It will always attack when it senses that. We are talking from experience”

“How can you identify which dog is in what mood in the morning, you don’t know”

“Only missing thing is providing counselling to the dogs as well. So that he does not bite when released back”

What I need from you this weekend: point out how ridiculous the comments of the Supreme Court judges, for disregarding science and having no clear plan for their proposed, unrealistic move.

Please comment tagging -

This needs to happen well before our court hearing on Tuesday morning, so that we can shame the judges into seeing how ludicrous their plan is. I need your help to do that.
Please help!
