Marathon runner adopts stray dog that ran 77 miles with him. She didn't run the whole thing with him because the guy wouldn't allow it in the extreme heat. Instead, the race managers brought the dog to the finish line where she sat and waited for him. They even gave her a medal too! D'aw!
He raised the money for medical and quarantine costs, and hopes to have her home with him in Edinburgh by Christmas.

My pups Cygnus and Caseyanne. Trained 'Dominance down' This sounds alot worse than it was. It became a game. Just pup lay down and you put hands on them and say 'down down'. Oh, you will get struggle at first. Then they relax. Increase the time, each time.
Till ok! Jump up! claps and kisses and treats.

Sounds mean but wasn't.

See I did not post this. so will continue.

Worked out so well for injuries and general health, ear cleanings..
One poor pup got a marrow bone stuck~ around her jaw. How'd she do that? dunno. She laid perfectly still. Tail thumping happy while it was sawed off.
Sawed off. Then happy she had two pieces
It's a great way to train from puppyhood. Start with the alpha roll: simply roll the puppy onto her back and make eye contact, only release when she stops resisting and begins to relax. Reward her with lots of praise and love.
