Emma gave me a scare one day. She was chewing on a rawhide bone and started choking. I could see it in her throat, but thank goodness, she coughed it out of there. After this happened, I decided no more rawhide to any doggies. Went with pig ears and hard bones, sometimes direct from slaughter house. They would either give the bones away or able to purchase them.How to Help a Choking Dog Before It's Too Late

Four Dog Vaccines You Should Never Give (vets won't tell you)
I don't think they should be given any of them, but I'm old school laissez-faire. I grew up in a family that always had dogs and cats, usually strays who came to us for a home. We fed them pet food and table scraps, and always made sure their water bowls were full. They mostly all lived outside, except for my dog Valentine and my cats Clarence and Greegree, but they scratched to go outside too. They all learned how to dig or climb out of the yard and escape, so they were all happy, healthy and rambunctious until they were hit by a car. There is no vaccine against being hit by a car, but I don't think any of them would have regretted the life they had, or would have wanted to be imprisoned indoors, shitting in a box, if they thought that way.

They go after child predators and this is one doggie that is doing his job very well

In Boone County, Kentucky, investigators followed a digital trail that led them to a home in Florence, where online activity linked to a man suspected of sharing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), previously referred to as child pornography.
After building a careful case, detectives arrived at the suspect’s residence and began a thorough search, working carefully through the home to locate and document electronic devices that could hold critical evidence of the child exploitation. Alongside the investigative team was a critical partner – Our Rescue-Sponsored Electronic Storage Detection (ESD) K9 Mo, trained to locate digital devices that suspects may hide from police.
As the search progressed, detectives moved through boxes and personal belongings, clearing items one by one. At one point, a box had already been searched and set aside. But K9 Mo continued to alert on it.
Rather than dismiss the alert, Mo’s handler, Lieutenant Christian, went back and searched the box again, this time taking a closer look. Inside, they discovered small Bluetooth-enabled devices that had been overlooked during the initial search. Every day, devices are becoming smaller, easier to hide, and more difficult to find without the right support, such as ESD K9s like K9 Mo.
