Doing Good While Shopping for Dog Treats?








































Do you buy dog treats, little chews or tasty snacks for your puppies? Besides making sure they are nutritious and affordable, have you ever wondered if your simple purchase does good beyond your dog's belly? (Oh, I don't mean at the end of the large intestines...don't go there!)

For more than 12 years, every time someone buys Milk-Bone® dog snacks, a donation is sent to Canine Assistants®.
Canine Assistants is a non-profit organization, founded in 1991, that trains and provides service dogs for children and adults with special needs, for FREE!

Canine Assistants dogs open doors, pick up items, pull wheelchairs, go for help, turn on lights and perform over 90 other commands. How awesome is that?

The program starts with an adorable puppy... click here to read the story of NOBLE, a noble pup who entered public service via the Canine Assistants.

So, with my dogs, Haskell and Cindygirl, and all the other dogs in my extended family, from the top:
