The emotional, physical and mental toll that comes with hoarding dogs for both rescuers and ‘animal collectors’ is immense, but little is known about the complexities of the issue. Also, when it comes to pain sensitivity in dogs, are all breeds created equal? Hollywood Pet Hotel turns Rescue Retreat Animal hoarding is a complex problem encompassing public health, mental health, and animal cruelty. Words like unimaginable and disgusting may come to mind at the thought, while the people who hoard animals are often dismissed as incompetent and cruel. While little is understood about this issue, many are doing their bit to save the many dogs being hoarded across the globe. Among them is Melissa Bacelar, who transitioned her Luxury Dog Hotel Business to meet the need of large-scale rescues during the pandemic. Pain sensitivity: Are all breeds created equal? Is a Bulldog tougher than a Maltese when it comes to pain or is that just how we perceive them? That is the big question being tackled by a dream team of veterinary minds at North Caroline State University. They are investigating whether all dog breeds are created equal when it comes to pain sensitivity. While there is data to show dog owners and veterinarians believe there are differences, there are not any confirmed biological reasons for it. But the findings of this research could have ramifications for how vets potentially recognise and treat pain in our furry best friends and how dog lovers interact with different breeds.  The Hydrant Jim, Pam, and Caroline stop by the hydrant to sniff out the latest dog gossip, innuendo, @jokes, and notes.
