The artist who turns paw prints into works of art
Our dogs improve our lives in so many ways, and this dog is helping out his owner with her creative projects.

Artist Keiko Carter loves spending time with her golden retriever, and together they make beautiful works of art. Carter released a TikTok video showing how they work.

First, Carter paints her pup’s paw and then presses it down onto a blank canvas. She then adds detail to the paw print, turning it into an intricate mountain range. Of course, she rewards her dog with a treat for his helpful contribution.

Check out Keiko’s art and the adorable video of the pair working together!

Do(g)-It-Yourself
CBD oil has become a popular treatment for a variety of ailments for humans, and it turns out that CBD is safe for dogs too! It can help pups with a range of things from pain relief to behavioral issues.

Do dog owners really get more exercise?
There are obviously many benefits to having a dog in your life, and increased physical activity is one of them. It should come as no surprise that dog owners walk more than non-dog owners simply because dogs like to walk around.

However, a new study found a correlation between owning a dog and other types of exercise, besides walking.

According to this study, dog owners spent about 200 more minutes of walking per week than people without dogs. Additionally, the study found that dog owners spent more time on activities like jogging, biking, and going to the gym compared to their non-dog owning counterparts.

Carri Westgarth, a lecturer in human-animal interaction at the University of Liverpool said, “If you feel that you have the time, inclination and finances to take on the responsibility of having a dog, they are a great motivator to get out walking when you otherwise would have made excuses not to."

True or False...
Answer: FALSE! They are not actually Australian. The Australian Shepherd came from the Basque region of Spain. Basque shepherds first took their dogs with them to Australia and then to the United States, so Americans were actually the first to call the dogs "Australian Shepherds."
