Hey Pack, Kodiak here. 🐾 Apparently it’s back-to-school season. For humans, this means backpacks, lunches, homework and parents taking pictures of kids standing by the front door. For dogs, it means something completely different. WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO? Think about it from our perspective. For the last couple of months, the kids have been home….

Hey Pack, Kodiak here. 🐾 I usually like fire. Fireplace? Great. Campfire? Interesting. Dad cooking something on the grill? I will supervise that situation for as long as necessary. Wildfires? Absolutely not. Here in California, wildfires are something we have to take seriously. And if you’re a dog parent, your emergency plan can’t just be…

By Kodiak Scientists have made an important discovery about dogs. Apparently, we can tell how humans are feeling by looking at their faces. So, can dogs tell when you’re angry? This study suggests dogs can distinguish some human facial expressions, including happiness and specific negative emotions. This is groundbreaking stuff?! They could have saved themselves…

Hey Pack. We need to have a serious conversation. I just found out the World Dog Surfing Championships happened this weekend. And nobody invited me. … Seriously? I’m not saying the event wasn’t awesome. I’m just saying… The organizers clearly forgot to invite the future champion. See, unlike some dogs, I’m not just pretending to…

Hey Pack, it’s Kodiak. You guys know I love the beach. Running. Swimming. Chasing balls. Making new friends. Well… most of them. If you’ve been following my adventures for a while, you probably remember that I’ve actually been attacked by other dogs at the beach — and it’s a good reminder that even the happiest…

Hey Pack, it’s Kodiak. I saw a story today that had me barking at the TV. A dog named Bruce was out kayaking with his dad when the kayak drifted away into the North Sea. Next thing you know… Bruce is floating around all by himself a few miles offshore. Just chilling…literally, it was really…

Hey Pack, Kodiak here. 🐾 I need to talk about something that has me very fired up today. Veterans with PTSD Need Service Dogs. The Government Won’t Pay for It. Here’s something that makes absolutely no sense to me. With all the stuff the human government blows money on, they refuse to fully pay for…

Hey Pack, Kodiak here. 🐾 I have a question. Have you ever heard your humans say, “Grab the emergency kit!”? I hadn’t either… until Dad started putting one together. Apparently humans have these things called earthquakes, wildfires, power outages, floods, and other emergencies. I thought emergencies were things like running out of treats. Or accidentally…

Hey Pack, Kodiak here! 🐾 My dad will tell you I like to do things. When I’m not sleeping (which I do a lot — my dad calls me a sleepy head) I like to play, or go for walks, or swim, or chew, or eat, or whatever. But my dad sometimes yells “I’m working!”…

Hey Pack, Kodiak here! 🐾 I’m pretty lucky. I live by the beach in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, so when it’s hot outside, me and my dad just walk along the water line in the ocean. The waves come in, I jump in, the waves go out, I shake it off, and we do it all over again….
