Celebrating Our Canine Heroes on International Dog Day - HS Today (HSToday)

The Throw Away Dogs Project's mission is to rescue high driven dogs, train them and then donate them to law enforcement departments that cannot afford one. It ...

It’s perhaps because of the large number of vested dogs – and the successes of the vests – that more and more handlers are aware and want to see their buddy protected. And in July, Coast Guard Mutual Assistance (CGMA) – the official aid society for the United States Coast Guard – announced a new program to support Coast Guard working dogs in their retirement. The founder of the rescue, Aimee Sadler was close friends with Carol Skaziak who is the founder of the Throw Away Dogs Project, and Carol accepted Hansel into her Pitbulls for Police program.” The trial found that two dogs could reliably screen 300 plane passengers in around 30 minutes as part of a ‘Rapid Screen and Test’ strategy. The dogs find the odor of those diseases in samples such as urine, breath and sweat. Project K-9 Hero’s vision is to ensure the best quality of life for America’s retired military and police canine heroes by assisting with medical costs, food, rehabilitation, adoption and end of duty services. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) also has a strong canine team, which it can even deploy outside transportation hubs as required, such as at large events like the Super Bowl and Presidential inaugurations to assist the hard working canine teams of law enforcement departments all round the United States. In April, a Border Patrol canine alerted to a vehicle which had four spare tires located in the bed of the truck. In the United States, at borders and across transportation systems, dogs are sniffing for explosives on a daily basis. Gizmo and her fellow HeroDOGs are trained to indicate when they find the smell of explosives from a safe distance away. The system generates maps with the survey progress and all the findings, which allows for better evidence-based decision-making on which areas will be released and which need to be cleared. The mascot of the International Coordination Center for Humanitarian Demining in Ukraine, he and Iliev were honored in May by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau with the Order for Courage, Third Class for services to Ukraine.

Celebrate International Dog Day 2022 by treating your pooch to these essentials, including beds, toys and more from John Lewis, Pets at Home and Tesco.

“For dogs (or dog owners, at least) partial to a bit of colour coordination, the collar can be paired with a dog lead from the same collection”. “It’s made from a thick, tough material and has sturdy metal fittings that not only allow for the attachment of ID tags but kept the [lead](https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/house-garden/pets/best-dog-lead-extendable-training-retractable-b1563444.html) firmly in place and ensured our test dog didn’t go for free-range walkabouts when she wasn’t meant to,” said our tester. “As with all toys, make sure you supervise your dog while playing this game, as scrambling paws can break the doors off the compartments (although we found it easy to snap them back on again).” This is bound to keep them entertained for hours while you’re [Petsathome.com](http://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=fZYk0n0yYYI&mid=40864&murl=https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/merch-groups/merch-groups/shopping-list-puppy/pets-at-home-double-door-dog-crate-small-grey)) will do the job nicely. Plus it’s a [B Corp certified brand](https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/sustainable-brands-b-corporation-ethical-patagonia-uk-clothing-trainers-a9681481.html), meaning it has very high sustainable and ethical credentials. For pugs and French bulldogs, harnesses are particularly advantageous, because they reduce the risk of neck injuries. You can make it comfier by placing a Pets At Home basic dog crate mattress (from £11, [Petsathome.com](http://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=fZYk0n0yYYI&mid=40864&murl=https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/black-basic-dog-crate-mattress)) inside. Plus, Edgard & Cooper donates 10 per cent of its profits to the dog care clinic in Sri Lanka, too. It’s worth noting the “24in size was a little small for our bigger dogs, but the 30in and 35in beds can comfortably accommodate larger breeds”. Similarly, “Barbour knows the materials that can best weather the elements and has applied these principles to its dog beds”. Plus, they're great for transporting your hound from A to B. Or perhaps you’ve long since reaped the benefits of dog ownership by having a loving four-legged friend for years.

We celebrate our canine companions every day, but today being International Dog Day, they deserve to be extra spoiled.

“My first and only fur-daughter Harmonie is THAT best friend who is always on my side. If you are having a good day, he makes it a great day. If you are having a bad day, he makes it a better day. My dogs are my best friends, and they are the best companions you could ever wish to have — their love is unconditional.” He can tell if I’m having a bad day, if my anxiety is on the rise and more. I make sure to include Magnus is every aspect of my life — from eating meals, working out, going on errands, running my business, watching movies, and even traveling. Magnus is not only our family pet, but he is also a therapy dog, and my best buddy. nothing is more pure than the love of a dog. So, to us, having a dog means having someone that will always be there to help you through the hard times and share the joy of the good times.” “Owning a dog is beyond amazing! He doesn’t care what my job is, if I had nothing in my bank account, or if I was a millionaire. He helps me to get up and be positive in my down moments, and what I also love is how joyful he gets when he sees that I am happy and content.
