Goldendoodle goes viral for her uncanny celebrity resemblance
We’ve heard of dogs resembling their owners, but a dog resembling a celebrity? That’s something you don’t see every day.

Check it out: Layla the Goldendoodle recently blew up the internet thanks to her uncanny resemblance to comedic actor Will Ferrell. Between her emoting eyes and facial expression, the connection is pretty hard to miss!

Layla’s owner posted the photo with the caption, “Someone said my dog looks like Will Ferrell and I can't unsee it now.” So far, the photo has gotten over 250,000 views and 20,000 retweets. Take a look and see for yourself.


Dog of the Day
Today’s Dog of the Day is a loving tribute from Daily Dig reader, Ellen, to sweet Roxie:

Sadly, Roxie passed a few days ago but she was known by everyone she encountered to be incredibly special and loved. At 16 years young, she still gave kisses to her favorite humans and will be greatly missed. ❤️


Why grapes and raisins are so bad for dogs
We love to treat our pups with table scraps, but it’s important to remember that not all human food is safe for dogs. For instance, grapes and raisins, even in small quantities, are not safe for dogs to eat.

Veterinarians aren't exactly sure why the fruit is so toxic to dogs, but they do know that grapes and raisins can cause issues like loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, increased urination, or kidney failure.

What should you do if your dog accidentally eats a grape or raisin? First thing’s first, call your vet.

Sometimes, veterinarians will advise dog owners to induce vomiting at home with a small amount of 3% hydrogen peroxide. So, it’s not a bad idea to keep some on hand just in case.

However, the best course of action might be to bring your dog in for an examination, so you should start by contacting your vet. As long as you notice a missing grape and take action right away, you should have nothing to worry about!
