(Thu, 02 Sep 2010)
Talk about interspecies communication! Enjoy! (My hard-working USA Today blog buddy, Janice Lloyd, recently ran these gems on separate days. I decided to save them for a Dogster double feature, because the title I came up with is so bad that it’s good. Well, I like it anyway! Jake just stares and shakes his head…) A big [...]

Study: Half of Cabs Bypass Fares With Guide Dogs (Thu, 02 Sep 2010)
A new study shows that if you’re blind and living in Washington, D.C., when you’re trying to hail a cab with your guide dog at your side, there’s a good chance empty cabs will pass you by. The Equal Rights Center released a report yesterday saying that in half of its 30 tests, cab drivers [...]
