If you’re a dog lover like I am, you know the horror of watching a movie where a dog is put into a dangerous situation, burying your head in the couch or the shoulder of the person next to you, counting to 60 seconds and then peeking up to see if the situation resolved itself. For some reason, movie producers love to sic a demon after a helpless puppy, or queue the heart wrenching sadness when a person’s childhood dog has to be put to sleep. Does The Dog Die? allows you to type in any movie title and find out what happens to the dog, from being hurt but alright, to full-on dying. This site also tells you when one of the movies has been verified or not, so there are no surprises. Avoid emotional trauma and fright by double checking with this helpful list.

When looking for a pet of any kind to welcome into your home, adoption is one of the best ways to go. Many people think of pet adoption as finding an old, miserable animal and trying to give it a good end to their life. While easing an animal out of this world is a noble goal, pet adoption is often about young animals whose humans were either unable or unwilling to continue to take care of them, and a shelter was the best place the animals could live well-fed and cared for. Adopt a Pet compiles lots of information from hundreds of websites, and allows you to put in your zip code to find the adoption center nearest to you. You can also narrow your search by breed, age, size, color, and gender to find the perfect addition to your family. Not only are dogs and cats available, but some specialty shops offer lizards, rodents, horses, or snakes, and Adopt a Pet can direct you to those locations as well.
If you’ve ever traveled with a dog, you know that while many places are dog friendly, even more of them are not. Often, most of the places that are considered “destinations” or “attractions” have no tolerance for our furry family members. Dog Friendly is a website where you can search cities throughout the entirety of the U.S, Canada, and Europe, as well as some other places worldwide. While the focus is specific on hotels, food, tours, parks, beaches, hiking trails, attractions, air travel, camping, skiing, and events, there are smaller categories including emergency veterinarians and dog-friendly car rental places. Dog Friendly also has a handy list of several different traveling tips and “hacks” for an easy, relaxing trip to wherever your destination is, and etiquette guides to help with any potential snafus that might be met along the way.
