Dogs often need an added boost of protein for overcoming a sickness or because their regular dog food is low in protein. When adding protein to their diet you don't have to add meat s there are other sources of protein that are overlooked.
One of them is cottage cheese. It is very high in protein and easy on a dogs stomach if they are getting over an illness. Another good source is yogurt, the plain unflavored type. Yogurt is also known as one of the homemade remedies for acne for humans but I don't know if it works on dog acne. Eggs, both cooked and raw are a good addition to a dogs diet to increase protein.
I came across this vintage photo of a hgh jumping dog. Since the photo is not showing the whole picture, so to speak, I wonder how the dog got up that high. It could be that the dog jumped off of something that was just as high and the jump was more of a long jump with a big drop off at the end. Of course the dog could have been hurt on the landing since there is no evidence of a soft landing area.
This was something I had not heard before, that dogs were aboard the Titanic. I guess I wrongfully assumed that like today, dogs are not allowed aboard cruise ships. But the Titanic was not a cruise ship since immigrants were also on board that maiden voyage. The wealthy did travel with their dogs and ship travel would have not been any different in the early 1900's.
One of the world's largest museums that is solely dedicated to the history of the Titanic is having the world's first tribute to dogs aboard the Titanic.
The really cute video above is about the event, which will run from March 2010 to December 2010. They will be featuring stories about the dogs that were on board that fateful voyage. Maybe they will have some stories about any dog heroes that saved lives.
The Titanic Museum and Attraction is located in Branson, MO. Branson is noted for being the show capital of the east coast but you can now see that it is much more than that.
