O N T H E N E W S S T A N D N O W Bark’s July issue is a celebration of the “Summer of Love—Year of the Dog” style. There are treats galore awaiting you. From dogs who get a kick out of soccer, or love nothing better than to take really long dives from docks, to tips on getting your dog fit and ready for summer activities. Our extended Dogpatch brings you lists and lists of seasonal picks and tips—look for the many ways you can make this summer memorable (and safe) for you and your pups. Find out what behaviorist Patricia McConnell has to say about the importance of your dog’s name. Follow Lisa Wogan as she shadows intrepid pet detective Kat Albrecht and her canine partner. Be inspired by an interview with Elizabeth Wrenn; if you’ve ever given thought to raising a Guide Dog puppy, you might follow through after reading it. And be sure to notice the happy, “flower pup” spirit of our cover dog, Clover, a fine ambassador for the world of “special needs” canines. Like other dogs who’ve lost a limb to injury or disease, having only three leg doesn’t slow her down or affect her zest for life. Capping it all, we have a stellar piece of fiction by Paul Mandelbaum. “Animal Shelter” is a story of a young woman who, with the help of a rescued dog, learns to move beyond regrets.
We trust that there will be something to interest, inform and amuse you in our magazine—hope you pick up Bark at the newsstand or, even better, subscribe.
