Glenn Close, as in the actress, is a true dog lover. In fact, she is one of the brains behind the catalog fetchdog that features lots of nifty devices for the canine set. The summer catalog came recently and the Glenn Close charitable pick caught my eye.
Made by the footware company, Vibram, the toy in question is a "chewy shoe" and it was created in honor of the veterans who actually rely on their products. It is called DogTags Chewy Shoe and can be ordered on their website. $2 from every purchase goes to support veterans.
And here's another inspired way that pets are helping veterans. PuppiesBehindBars.com trains prison inmates to train service dogs that are provided to veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Service dogs are used by many veterans who have been either emotionally or physically traumatized during their tour(s) of service.
To learn more, check out FetchDog.com/DogTags and read Glenn Close's interview with Bill Campbell and his service dog, Pax. It seems that the Cruella de Ville role was truly just that!
