“Entertaining Battle of Wits: Enormous Dog’s Hilarious Efforts to Dodge Bath Time”

Once upon a time, in a cozy little house, a baby boy named Lucas lived with his family. They had a lively, affectionate golden retriever named Max, who had been a part of the family since Lucas was born.

From the moment Lucas could crawl, he and Max became inseparable companions. Max seemed to understand that Lucas was a delicate little friend, and he always watched over him with a gentle and watchful eye.

As Lucas grew older, so did his curiosity about the world around him. One sunny morning, as the family enjoyed breakfast, Lucas noticed a butterfly fluttering outside the window. Intrigued, he pointed at it, making excited sounds. Max, always eager to be a part of Lucas’s adventures, bounded to the window and wagged his tail in delight.

The little explorer within Lucas took over, and he decided to follow the butterfly’s flight. He crawled towards the back door, and Max followed close behind. Giggles filled the air as Lucas made his way to the backyard, where the butterfly landed on a colorful flower.

Curious about the newfound discovery, Lucas reached out to touch the delicate insect. Max sat down next to him, as if offering moral support. The butterfly gracefully took off again, and Lucas laughed with delight, clapping his tiny hands.

As days turned into weeks, Lucas and Max continued to explore the wonders of nature together. They splashed in puddles after rainstorms, rolled in the grass, and played fetch in the yard. Max patiently fetched the ball, even when Lucas’s throws were more like gentle tosses.

As Lucas started taking his first steps, Max became his loyal walking partner. He would walk beside Lucas, ensuring the little boy’s balance and providing him with a sense of security. If Lucas stumbled, Max would nuzzle him, as if reassuring him that everything would be alright.

As the years passed, their bond only grew stronger. Lucas and Max grew up side by side, sharing countless adventures and tender moments. Max was not just a dog to Lucas but a true and devoted friend.

Even as Lucas became more independent and started school, he always looked forward to coming home to Max. They still had their evening playtime, and Max remained a source of comfort during any challenging days.

In the end, Max was not just a pet; he was family. He had witnessed Lucas’s first steps, first words, and many first experiences. Their unbreakable connection showed that the love between a baby and a dog could transcend time and create beautiful memories that would last a lifetime.

And so, the little explorer and the loyal pup lived happily ever after, cherishing their friendship and the love they shared in their hearts forever.

Veterinarians warn of rising cases of mystery dog illness

Veterinarians are sounding the alarm as they see a growing number of coughing dogs.

Wendy Brown’s three golden retrievers — Bridge, Dooley and Lulu — are among the dogs who started showing symptoms earlier this November.

“Dooley started doing kind of this huffing and also seemed to feel quite lethargic,” Brown recalled to “Good Morning America.” “Not too long after, Bridge began to exhibit the symptoms. But his were louder, more boisterous. I thought it was his stomach because he made like a retching sound.”

Initially, Brown thought her pets had a typical kennel cough but when their symptoms didn’t subside, she knew it was something more serious.

“The vet started him on a 10-day cycle of doxycycline. Today was day 10 and he is not a lot better,” Brown said.

Brown, an Idaho resident, said she’s still not sure what could have caused her dogs’ illness in the first place.

While research is underway, veterinarians say the mystery illness is highly contagious and can be fatal. Reported symptoms so far have also been typical of a kennel cough and they include coughing, sneezing, nasal and/or eye discharge and lethargy.

“Instead of that dry cough where the dog felt good, it was now this wet cough where the dog felt sick,” Amanda Cavanagh, the section head of the urgent care service at Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, told “GMA.”

Experts like Cavanagh said any dogs showing signs of consistent coughing should be brought to a vet to be examined.

“We can ultrasound the lungs to see if there is a problem that is related to pneumonia or the contagious pneumonia that seems to be going around,” Cavanagh said.

Cavanagh also recommends keeping any coughing dogs away from other dogs and for two weeks after the cough goes away.
