| Vote for the pooch of your choice in Animal Planet's World Pup |
By Stacey Gonzalez
The Spanish soccer team may have been knocked out in the first round of the FIFA 2014 World Cup but when it comes to Animal Planet's World Pup Spain just might be the top dog.
This year marks the first year for Animal Planet's World Pup. Their website features a voting competition for dog breeds that represent the 16 countries competing in the 2014 FIFA games. Voters can participate on Facebook or Twitter and the voting takes place until Thursday, July 10 when the winning pup will be announced.

Dogs and humans have been companions for quite some
time with the earliest European images of dogs showcased in cave paintings.
This vintage dog art can be found in Spain and dates back to 12,000 years ago.

Imagine a future where your dog can use technology for entertainment just like you do. Now stop imagining because that future is taking place right now at a dog park or backyard near you. Just like many people own gaming consoles or handheld gaming devices your dog can also play with its own electronic game- if you can fit it in the budget.
The Go-Go Dog Pal is an interactive device that can be used as a game, training tool or a way for your dog to release some energy. This remote control dog toy is shaped in a way that a dog cannot puncture it or get a firm hold onto it. Each Go-Go Dog Pal has a lightweight but durable plastic outer shell decorated like a cartoon woodchuck, raccoon or skunk- making it an innovative and adorable source of entertainment.

Meet Keira- a Spanish soccer fan. She was so excited for FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil that her tail wagged in full circles instead of back and forth. Unfortunately for Keira her team lost horribly in the first round. She is so disappointed! She cried for days and now she wonders who to cheer for.
Can you make any predictions for Keira? Suggest a team for Keira! Leave a comment, post to our Facebook of Tweet Keira with #KeirasTeam in the post!

When you see your dog you are all smiles- but what
does your dog see? A dog is most likely to interpret a big, glowing smile as
baring ones teeth, which is a sign of aggression.

June brings sunshine and love for pets of the past and present

June 16, 2014- The month of June not only brings sunshine and summertime but it also raises awareness for shelter cats and celebrates our animal companions- living and dead.
June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month from the ASPCA and Adopt a Cat Month from the American Humane Association. It is intended to raise awareness about the joy of rescuing a cat from a shelter. There are so many loving, affectionate cats in shelters right now just waiting to find a forever home. The ages range from kitten to senior and the breeds are plenty. It’s hard not to find the perfect feline friend in one of the many shelters out there. Giving a senior cat a second chance or bringing home a kitten that was separated from its mother in the wild is an amazing feeling...
Soccer loving dogs celebrate FIFA World Cup 2014!!
The biggest tournament in the world kicked off this week and Paws For Reaction is celebrating with these adorable furry soccer fans! Happy FIFA celebrations!
