While The Dog House captures America’s passion for canine adorableness, its sweet docuseries also serves to remind viewers what matters in life. It provides an inspiring look at people who dedicate themselves to caring for a dog which brings health, love and companionship – often giving them motivation and purpose each morning!
Although some episodes may feel repetitive, the docuseries provides plenty of “aww” moments and puppy smiles – even non-dog lovers are sure to be moved by its human stories!
The Dog House chronicles the staff at one of Europe’s largest animal rehoming centers as they work to pair dogs with suitable human companions. Potential adopters discuss why they’re interested in adopting certain canines and what life might be like with their new best friend; all while keeping in mind that most of these dogs tend to be fearful upon first entering rehoming centers. The show focuses on emotional aspects of adopting, which is an effective strategy given many are distressed when arriving.
Except for brief scenes depicting distressed pups rejecting potential adopters, this series is mostly upbeat, showing how the work of the rehoming center helps both dogs and potential adopters alike. Furthermore, this docuseries provides insightful lessons in responsible pet ownership such as considering each dog’s needs before adding one into your household.
No surprise has come as pet owners seek ways to shield their canine companions from extreme weather and the elements. Some of the oldest documented dog houses date back as far as the nineteenth century, including this charming example in John Quincy Adams House’s collection. Other modern examples, including one designed by Frank Lloyd Wright himself (sent via envelope to Jim Berger for completion but left incomplete due to World War I and Wright’s subsequent death), can also be seen.
Start by crafting a sturdy wooden floor frame, attach it to the base and connect the walls, keeping them square and level. Next, install a weatherproof roof with shingled or corrugated roofing shingles; be sure to include an offset flap doorway for proper ventilation.
When building your dog house, be sure to use nontoxic lumber and materials so as to not expose your pet to chemicals that could potentially be harmful for them, particularly if they chew and lick their fur. Furthermore, it is a good idea to sand all edges so as to prevent your pup from accidentally catching onto them and becoming injured.
A great dog house should provide your pup with maximum enjoyment and ease of upkeep. Once you’ve constructed an ideal shelter for your furry pal, be sure to test its functionality under various environmental conditions to make sure it provides comfort and functionality for them.
