The Golden was so adorable wanting to play 😂

Awesome video! Thank you! I've always wondered if I was picking up my husky correctly. She's an older girl now and so I definitely don't want to hurt her. But after watching your video and smiling a lot, I see that I'm picking her up correctly. It just feels natural that way. Thank you so much!

Golden deserves to be paid in lots of belly and chest rubs for being such a good actor.

Yesterday was the first time I lifted my golden Labrador. Her weight is about 66 lbs (me 110 lbs). I was surprised to find that he didn't fight back at all! Unfortunately someone had to help me stand up, because my knees were not strong enough to lift such a weight 😖
Thank you!

I often get worried if when picking up the heavy dog if my arm goes between tail and rump or over top of the tail, i get afraid I could break her tail

Hello Dr.pete I have seen your Top 10 eye problems for dogs. I recently noticed a very light blue dot in my dog's eye and there is no redness no watery eyes and no discharge. What happened to my dog can you plz tell me and she is a crossbred od retriever and Labrador and 2 years old female. Thank you sir. EXCUSE ME IF MY ENGLISH IS BAD

Hello doctor, my dog is an 7 year old puggle, and just this morning developed a new scratch reflex bilaterally on her neck. She pulled away as soon as I started petting her. Should I be concerned? This has never happened before. She went to the groomer on Wednesday, and had a de-shedding bath, and her nails done. Other than that there has been no changes. She has gone to the same groomer her entire life. Should I be concerned, or is this typical for an aging dog?
