Here's a new one to me: Service Dogs for Victims of Assault, turning fear into freedom. SDVA is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people who have been assaulted, raped, stalked or otherwise harmed physically or mentally. Can you think of anyone better qualified for this task than a dog? I can't.

We've had Kuranda beds for 2 years now and I'd have no other. This is the first bed (and we've tried most) that my dogs have not destroyed. They wash easily, dry quickly and last forever. What a wonderful idea and design!" You can find this and many other great comments about Kuranda Dog Beds from professionals. Click on "Kennels & Veterinarians" on the Kuranda Dog Bed home page.

Before you get a dog, buy this book! From a terrific "Puppy Scoring" test to help select the right pup for you out of a litter, to practical tips on teething and house training, this book is the best. Used it extensively to raise what became The Best Dog in the World -- their tips helped her be house trained within 2 weeks of coming home (never another accident!)." >From Dogwise.com, home of the largest and best selection of dog books and videos on the internet.
