Scooby-Doo: The Cowardly Great Dane Who Taught Us Bravery, Friendship, and the Power of Snacks
Before we knew what anxiety was, before we understood friendship dynamics, and long before we learned that most problems are just men in masks, there was Scooby-Doo. Scooby wasn’t sleek. He wasn’t heroic in the traditional sense. He didn’t charge into danger with confidence or clever plans. Scooby ran. Scooby hid. Scooby screamed. And somehow, …

Before Hollywood turned it into an animated film in 1995, Balto’s story was already extraordinary and far less tidy. Balto was born in Alaska in 1919. A Siberian Husky mix with no glamorous pedigree, no destiny stamped on his paws, and no guarantee he would ever matter beyond the team he ran with. He wasn’t …

Less Playgrounds, More Dog Parks: Britain’s Street Shift from Swings to Sniff Spots
On streets from the North West to the Midlands, you might be noticing something subtle but profound: fewer children’s pushchairs, and more dog leads.
