Today’s post comes from Emily Rollman, summer intern in the Office of Public and Media Communications.  First Lady Betty Ford putting mustard on a hot dog during a picnic lunch for White House and Executive Office Building staff on the South Lawn, 9/19/1974. (Gerald R. Ford Library, National Archives Identifier 45644173) Hot dogs have been a staple of American cuisine since they were first introduced by German immigrants in the 19th century.

Flat-faced dogs—also known as brachycephalic dogs—are extremely popular for their cute, short snouts and flat faces. In fact, they’re among the most popular breeds in the U.S.  However, because of their unique anatomical features, breathing can be difficult for flat-faced dogs—and even more so when the weather heats up.

Exercise for brachycephalic dogs must be limited to cooler times of the…

We wait until the cool air of the morning or evening to exercise, dust off our biggest water bottle and slather ourselves in SPF 75. But what about your furry friend, panting by your side?Many pet owners are unaware that their pets can suffer from sunburn and other heat-related issues just like humans. At least 123 cats and dogs died from heat-related causes in 2023 in the U.S., according to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. As heat waves become more…

Interview by Brian KevinPhotos by Jason FrankFrom our December 2022 issue It’s been quite a year for Jonathan Nathaniel Hayes, who runs Madawaska’s Poland Spring Seppala Kennels. For starters, he had the surreal experience of attending a few screenings of True North: Legends of Dogs and Men, a documentary released last winter about a seven-day expedition through the Maine north woods that he undertook in 2021, raising money for a Maine monument to a famed sled dog named Togo. Togo was the lead dog of a musher named Leonhard Seppala, who, in 1925, mushed a team of dogs 261 miles…

Shutterstock Dogs communicate in many ways, but few things stand out more than a distinctive bark. While most breeds stick to a typical “woof” or “ruff,” some take vocalization to a new level.

Basenji Shutterstock The Basenji is often called the “barkless dog,” but that doesn’t…

Ever wondered how much the most expensive pets in the world cost? Whether it’s cats, dogs or another creature altogether, it’s no secret that the beloved animals we choose to share our four walls with can cost a pretty penny when it comes to buying them the very best food amongst the various other essentials. But the most expensive pets to buy right now take things to new extremes. How does $70 million for a racehorse sound? Would you be happy to pay $1.2 million for a cow? Or how about parting with $40,000 for a python? And that’s before…
