Helping out our canine friends

For thousands of years, dogs have lived alongside people, helping us with the tasks of everyday life, and warming themselves by our fires. Over the centuries, dogs have come to depend on us and now they need our help to survive. From the health problems of domestic dogs to habitat loss of wild species, there's a lot of work to do to keep canines safe and healthy.
