Bright Mind
Not that I am endorsing any brand of commercial dog food (although Millie does eat Purina Pro Plan Focus), but I do wish I had had a specially formulated geriatric food for Amos when he was in his declining stages. I ended up cooking for him, which he sometimes ate, or sometimes didn't but the trick was to get the nutrients found in dog food into him--which was a challenge.
I truly do believe there is a market for geriatric dog food since our pets are living longer. And at the end, I was willing to try anything.

Walk Like a Bear
When this video first surfaced there was some concern that it was a fake--that the bear walking upright was a human in a bear suit. But experts have confirmed that its the real deal. When bears walk upright it is often a sign that they have injured their front paw(s). In this case, it appears that one of the bears paws is partially amputated.

Recycling/Vending Machine
Genius idea: Pugedon, a company in Turkey, created a machine that dispenses food and water for stray dogs, in exchange for plastic bottles. While I don't usually condone feeding strays--they would be better off in shelters--this idea is especially significant in Turkey, a country known for large population of stray dogs. The city of Istanbul is home to 150,000 stray cats and dogs.
So bravo Pugedon--this is a win/win worth emulating.
