Story guidelines

• · True stories about real dogs you love.
• · Your own words and your own photos.
• · Kindness is the house style.
• · No selling, no fundraising, no breeder advertising.
• · No behavior or medical advice — worried about your dog? Your vet comes first.
• · Photos should be yours and of your dog. Other people in a photo need their okay. Children are discouraged, and removed on any guardian's request, no questions asked.

When a story doesn't fit here, we remove it — usually because it breaks one of the rules above, sometimes because someone asked us to and had good reason. Removal always comes with a written reason to the person who wrote it, and a way to reply.
