We need your help, everyone. This is Kenji. He's a 4 year old male BT. He was being fostered by a family who disappeared with him & lied on their application about certain important info. Last seen in Avondale, AZ. If you have seen him, please DM

Kenji, the baby Mooseweiler, is learning to be comfortable with a muzzle. He isn't aggressive or likely to bite someone, so why do we do this?
Emergency preparedness. If he's ever seriously injured the vet clinic will likely muzzle him as soon as they take him into the back. Even the gentlest of dogs with the best temperaments might become fearful and bite if they are in pain and someone tries to exam their injury. Especially if it's a stranger or they already have negative feelings about vet clinics. Even something as straightforward as a torn nail can be painful enough that a muzzle is used.
Putting the muzzle on allows the veterinary team to quickly and safely examine the dog, perform first aid, or start an IV for sedation if needed. If a dog has never worn a muzzle, it can add to the stress and fear they are already experiencing from being restrained and examined while being in pain, especially if they try to resist having it put on. It's much easier on the dog and the veterinary team if the dog is comfortable with wearing a muzzle. If the dog has had a lot of positive conditioning with the muzzle it can actually help calm them as it's something familiar with good emotions attached.
Anytime I can help my dogs avoid unnecessary stress, I'll do it. Muzzle training is one way and it helps ensure we're prepared for emergencies.
Often when someone sees a dog wearing a muzzle, they assume the dog is aggressive. That's often not the case. It could simply be wearing it during training to get comfortable with it or it might be a dog that eats things off the ground. It could also be a responsible owner of a fearful dog that might snap if an unleashed dog rudely runs up. A muzzle doesn't mean a dog is bad. It's often the sign of a good dog owner.

I've taken some unique iceberg photos over the years but this one taken in 2014 was by far the most popular. It became known as the "Batberg" as it looked like the caped crusader Batman. It even got a mention in the New York Times.
๐จAFTER NEARLY 8 MONTHS IN A SHELTER KENNEL, QUESTIONS ARE GROWING ABOUT SNUGGLES' QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE COST TO TAXPAYERS
TUCSON, AZ โ Snuggles, a 2-year-old livestock guardian dog belonging to a military veteran and his family, has spent nearly eight months at Pima Animal Care Center following a first-time bite incident that occurred on his family's property.
His family has reportedly been charged more than $15,000 in boarding fees while fighting the case through the court system.
The children's grandmother, who was the bite victim, has publicly asked that Snuggles be returned home.
As the case continues, new questions are emerging.
What is Snuggles' quality of life after nearly eight months in a shelter kennel?
What enrichment, exercise, socialization, and human interaction is he receiving?
Why is his family unable to receive updates about his condition?
As Tucson and Pima County face budget challenges and reports of staffing reductions, many residents are asking whether it makes financial sense to continue spending substantial public resources fighting this case instead of pursuing a resolution.
How much taxpayer money has already been spent on legal proceedings, administrative resources, court time, and personnel hours in a case where the owner, family, and even the bite victim are all seeking alternatives to euthanasia?
At a time when public resources are stretched thin, should hundreds of thousands of dollars be spent fighting over an accident, or should the focus be on finding a reasonable resolution?
Members of the public who would like answers are encouraged to respectfully contact Pima Animal Care Center and Pima County leadership.

Good morning my sweet friends from Little Bay Islands.
I've been graciously handed one more day. I'll spend it being grateful and hopeful, which is the wealth I value most.
Elon @elonmusk this person @rocket_man492 stole the account of our friend Dot Freeman. Dot is a wonderful person who is a manager of a charity that helps teens get placed with therapy dogs. She has a beautiful heart and many friends who love her. I tried to report this account but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. Can you do something about this or place this in the hands of someone who can? We want Dott back on X and this thief off of it.
Thank you for any help you give us.

The county doesn't allow beverages. It's not the track - they can't do anything about it but follow the law or risk being shut down.
