♥Mango, larger than life, gone too soon♥

Mango Relentlessly Huge 
May 4th 2005 - September 26, 2012

You may have already read about the untimely passing of dear, funny and much-loved Mango of Mango and Dexter's Great Adventures. Mango was a huge presence in the world of dog blogging for many more reasons than his size. It is with great sorrow that we add our names to those who mourn.

Mango, sometimes the very best leave us too soon, completing their Circle of Life before what mortals consider to be 'their time'. You are counted among them. Your star will shine bright in the midnight sky. Tonight Scout, Freyja and I will seek out your star and will remember you with great fondness.

This says it all - perfectly

If you've seen this photo before but not the video, you are in for a treat. If you haven't seen this photo and read the remarkable story of this man and this beloved dog - you are in for a treat. Either way, if you love your dog - you will be immeasurably moved.

S. Korean dogs stolen and on their way to a dinner table or coat collar near you

I am not fond of any culture - any - that takes an animal that serves mankind with love and loyalty only to serve it up on a restaurant dinner plate or to put its pelt on a coat collar. The Asian culture, to me, is vile and has no redemptive qualities. If you don't agree with me, that is your right, I respect that. I have the right to find ALL of the Asian countries barbaric and without morality of any kind.
[긴급] 이 개들의 주인 안계신가요?
정황상 제주도에서 개들을 훔쳐 나가는 트럭인것 같지만, 피해자가 없는 이상 조사가 쉽지 않다고 하네요.
[Urgent] S. Koreans: Do you know anyone of these dogs?
Given the circumstances, looks like a truck smuggling stolen pets out of Jeju Island but without a victim, investigation is unlikely.
토요일 저녁 제주에서 목포항으로 가는 여객선입니다.
제주여행을 마치고 돌아오시던 여객선에 탑승하신 분이 직접 목격하시고 제공해주신 사진입니다.
너무 비참한 상황이지만, 꼭 자세히 보시고 제주도 사시는 분들 중 최근 개를 잃어버리거나 도둑맞으신 분 있다면 꼭 적극적으로 신고해주세요.
This is a cruise ship traveling from Jeju Island to Mokpo last Saturday evening. A vacationer coming back from vacation in Jeju Island took these photos and provided to KARA. This is a horrific situation but please take a look and if you know someone who lost their pet dogs recently, please contact us immediately.
여객선에서 이런 개트럭을 아무런 제재없이 태웠다는 점 또한 간과할 수 없는 부분입니다.
일단 주인을 찾는 것이 급선무입니다.
The fact that a cruise ship loaded a dog truck without any sanction can not be overlooked. But the urgent matter is to find an owner.
보시고 견주되시는 분이나, 이런 상황을 아시는 분의 제보 꼭 부탁드립니다.

애써 외면하지 마시고, 제주도에서 개를 잃어버리거나 도둑맞으신 분들,
관련 차량을 보시거나 행방을 아시는 분 등.
적극적인 제보 부탁드려요.
The witness asked the driver if these dogs were stolen and the driver refused to talk. The witness obtained the vehicle license number and the driver’s photo.
Please don’t look away. If you lost your dog in Jeju, know this vehicle or the whereabouts of these dogs, please contact us with information.
한 아이라도 꼭 살리고 싶습니다. 카라 사무국 02.3482.0999로 제보주세요.

PLEASE, PLEASE whatever you do, PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO. PLEASE!


The WWII Veteran who made this video is very, very ill. He had always hoped that his effort on behalf of PETS FOR PATRIOTS would be seen by many, many more folks than are represented as of today's date. PLEASE watch this lovely, sensitive little movie. Not only will you fall in love with the old gentleman and his dog, you will make someone who served our country very happy. PLEASE SHARE on your blogs and pass the word around far and wide. Thank you so much in advance.

♥In honor of those who gave everything to give us everything♥








When we left Vietnam we left our war dogs behind to suffer at the hands of the Viet Kong. They were shot and starved and skinned alive and used for target practice and boiled and eaten. NEVER AGAIN! Legislation has been passed that designates our war dogs as military members and not military equipment. They will NEVER be left behind again to suffer fates worse than death, itself.

I have no doubt that all of our fallen warriors since 1776, both human and K-9, are in Paradise.
