What can I say about my friend Feo? He's loyal, protective and beautiful.

I never thought my best friend would come in the form of a 10-pound mini-dachshund. That’s exactly what Bowie is though, my best buddy.

Our dog Diesel is a black Lab mix and he has nine lives. We rescued him nine years ago from a high-kill shelter, when he was 10 months old and had only three days left to live. He’s grown up with our now 5-year-old daughter and our 7-month-old daughter. He is 100 percent a part of our family.

This is my new best friend and dog Carly. She is special to me because she is very funny and she’s new to my family. She lets me dress her up and LOVES to sleep with people! Carly likes to play ball and fetch with me. If she sees cats, she will chase them and lick them. She likes to go where ever I go. She is almost potty trained. When I go to sleep, she wants to lay with me and she licks my face a lot! She also keeps in shape by chasing a laser light.

Pheona is a 3-year-old German shepard/corgi mix from the San Martin Shelter. She enjoys napping in the sun, swimming at the lake, eating cat poop and long walks on the beach. She's but a simple dog.

How can I tell anyone why my dog is my best friend? How can I even come close to why he is my best friend? He is an 8 1/2-year-old Australian shepherd.

Four months after my husband passed away from prostate cancer and leukemia, I had to have our 10-year-old black Lab put to sleep due to her increasing health problems. A couple of weeks later, I decided to go to the shelter in Atwater, where I was living at the time. (Just to look, of course!) That is where I met my Maggie Hope.

My grandson, 18-month-old Eiland Corwin Nelson, loves to nap with his auntie’s gentle St. Bernard, Macy. Macy was adopted from a shelter and she is very loving and gentle with kids and other dogs. We have other shelter dogs in our family and they have turned out to be absolutely wonderful! Eiland is our first grandchild and he really loves dogs.

We love our dog Benny because he's the sweetest and funniest dog ever. He loves everyone and always loves to give and receive lots of kisses. When Benny is out for a walk he likes to meet and greet new four-legged friends as well as those with just two legs. Benny loves to have the back of his ears and tummy rubbed. When he sees another dog on television he jumps up and starts barking as if the other dog can hear him. Benny also barks at balloons because he doesn't understand why they're moving. We love that Benny always follows Daddy around the house and sleeps under his desk. Benny loves to snuggle on the couch, but doesn't like to get his teeth brushed. He's a part of our family and we love him very much.
