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.

Tortellini is, indeed, still available for adoption. Her people need to hurry it up because her fur is so, so soft and it's not going to pet itself! (Email Forgotten Felines at [email protected], or fill out an online application here: https://t.co/iVkY0u48r6 )

Dutch-born illustrator Peter Spier transformed children’s books into sprawling worlds of detail, humor, and humanity. Born in Amsterdam in 1927, Spier brought an astonishing level of observation to every page — from crowded city streets to circus tents to Noah’s Ark itself.

After serving in the Royal Dutch Navy, he moved to the U.S. and became one of the great masters of picture-book illustration. His art rewards slow looking: every reread reveals a new joke or fascinating detail.

Spier won the 1978 Caldecott Medal for Noah’s Ark, while The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night earned a Caldecott Honor.

Recommended Peter Spier books:

• Noah’s Ark
• The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night
• Peter Spier’s Circus
• We, The People
• London Bridge Is Falling Down
• And So My Garden Grows
• Rain

Few illustrators made the world feel so large, lively, and endlessly worth exploring. 🎨📚
