Though the venue — aptly called the Boneyard — was covered with snow, it was still a beautiful day in Madison, Wisconsin, for Shiba Inu dog pals Suki and Ron, who “married” in a ceremony on March 23, National Puppy Day.
“It was a wonderful, happy, funny experience,” says Suki’s owner Erika Nowlan, 45. “Both dogs said, ‘I Roo!’ ”
The pups met online during the COVID-19 pandemic, seeing each other on aShiba PromZoom.

Nova is shining after a rough start.
In early December, the black and white dog was abandoned in a kennel next to a busy North Carolina highway with a sign that simply read “Free dog, Free Kennel.”
While it is unclear how long Nova was left sitting in the cold, one person who came across her posted on Facebook looking for a rescuer for the pup.

The dog who was abandoned in October when Hurricane Milton made landfall near Tampa, Fla., has overcome yet another challenge.
“He’s my best friend and I think I’m his best friend,” Frank said. “I think my wife would agree that I would rather give my life and she would give her life, save his life.”
Soon after Trooper joined the Spina family, the couple noticed the bull terrier had two lumps on the left side of his body.
