when dad pulled into Fort McMurray, we stopped at the tourist centre to see what was dog friendly

The Visitor Centre is at the Oil Sans Discovery Centre.  I couldn't go in as it is a "no pets allowed" but mom and dad talked to the guide to learn where I could go in the community.  There are pet friendly hotels, and lots of walking trails and a dog park. 

Also there are some stores that are pet friendly, like the Bone and Biscuit, we stopped by for some treats....

Met a new friend from the Fort McMurray SPCA

Dad took me to the Birchwood Trails....

 The trails are pet friendly, with dogs on leash.  A few more garbage cans along the way would help with people not leaving their dog poop bags through the forest section.  There were lots of garbage cans along the top of the trails.... PAWsome.

Big thanks to our PAWs Across Canada Tour partners..... thank you for helping us make a difference!

Be a Buddy Not a Bully

New Book Coming out June 1, 2013

Toby the Pet Therapy Dog Says Be a Buddy NOT a Bully is the second book in the Toby the Pet Therapy Dog children's series. The book will be released June 1, 2013.

When Toby the dog steps into the path of another dog who bullies him, and shreds his beloved stuffed teddy-bear toy, we see the hurt feelings it creates.  This book teaches children about the importance of kindness, respect, acceptance, and being considerate of others, including pets.

I am looking forward to talking about the book, and bully prevention tips on the air on Wednesday at 10 a.m. EST (8 am MDT).  To tune in, please follow this link:
