When Cosmo’s mom told me he was black lab and he liked playing ball on the beach I wasn’t terribly surprised. What did catch my ear, though, was that he liked to go in counterclockwise circles when he was on that beach. This I had to see. We met at Crissy Field on an overcast [...]

I’ve known Roxanne since she was a puppy–almost 9 years–and I’ve known her owner, David, since 7th grade when I lived on the east coast (slightly longer than 9 years).

So when I got my latest My Mutt Assignment from Pet Food Express for Kona, an elegant shepherd mix, I was thrilled. We met on an uncharacteristically bright and sunny winter morning last weekend down at Crissy [...]

When I talked to Pua’s owner a few weeks ago I had a feeling I was going to meet a special dog for this My Mutt poster shoot. I was not disappointed: Pua is truly great pup and boy did she land in the right household. They love her and the feeling is very mutual [...]
