So, I’m fond a papercraft. There’s just something about little paper thingies that makes me happy. Here’s a pretty elaborate Saint Bernard for you to print, cut out, and build. He even has pads on the bottoms of his feet. (He was designed by Katsuyuki Shiga of PinoArt.)
You just download the instructions and then download the parts to print out. Grab your scissors and glue and have fun!
Remember that painful and amazing video of the the white dog in a California shelter who had clearly given up hope? Here’s Stanley today doing so much better. He’s recovered from eye surgery and can open his eyes without pain for probably the first time ever. I’m so happy for Stanley. I just wish every dog were so lucky.
Check out Stanley’s video, Just One Dog. It was made by Cathy at Camp Cocker. You can also find out about where Stanley is being fostered now in Canada.

The RSPCA had a dog named Cent they thought was deaf. He wouldn’t respond to even basic commands. After checking his background, they found he’d been given up by a Polish family & only understood Polish. The staff has learned some Polish and Cent has been learning English so whoever adopts him won’t have to speak Polish. Clever bilingual boy!
