I think different owners have their ideas as to what degree of training their dogs should have. I admit I am lax. I get the basics - sit, stay, come. Other than that, I don't push it.

Snoop Dogg Offers To Adopt Pup Abandoned In Viral Video
Snoop Dogg Offers To Adopt Pup Abandoned In Viral Video
They're both named Snoop
Just a few weeks ago, this pup was alone in the world.
Dumped on the streets of England with only his dog bed, Snoop the Staffordshire terrier went viral after a surveillance camera captured heartbreaking footage of him desperately chasing his owner's car while being abandoned.
Now, people around the world are offering up their homes to the loyal pup — including California-raised rapper Snoop Dogg.
After seeing the sad footage of Snoop being left on the street just a few days before Christmas, the "Drop It Like It's Hot" singer was touched and immediately wanted to bring the dog home.
Sharing the same name, it would be a match made in heaven.
"It is heartbreaking," Snoop Dogg [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] The Daily Star of the video. "If he really needed a home then he has one with us… There is always room for another dog in Casa de Snoop."
Since Snoop's rescue story went viral, the RSPCA, which is currently caring for the dog, has received countless inquiries from people about adopting him. Now, the rescue group is hard at work to prepare him for the big day.
"We have been overwhelmed by the hundreds of supportive messages for Snoop and all the people who have offered to give him a home, including some well-known faces such as rapper Snoop Dogg," Rachel Butler, RSPCA media manager, told The Dodo. "We are so grateful to all the millions of people who have shared Snoop's story across the world."
The RSPCA is still investigating Snoop's former owner, however, and will need to complete a full health and behavior assessment before he can be adopted. This will help the group decide what type of home would be the best fit for Snoop the dog.
"Snoop is such a loveable character and enjoys being around people and gets on well with other dogs," Butler added. "He just loves getting close to people, sitting between their legs and having cuddles, and is certainly enjoying lots of love and affection from our staff."
With all this popularity overnight, Snoop is clearly loving the attention he's been getting — and it's certain whoever gets to adopt him will become his instant best friend.

I'll never understand the mind of someone who could just leave their dog in the middle of the street. At least take it to a rescue. Thankfully he's in good hands and will be placed in a loving home.

No decent pics of our Old English Bulldog on this phone. I'll have to get a few taken.

I had a similar reaction. Don't know how much Snoop is touring these days and if he would be around to care for the dog?
I think snoop (the dog) currently resides with the RSPCA, but Snoop Dog the rapper wants to adopt him. I'm sure there will be some vetting of whoever gets snoop (the dog).

Observing my reaction to a problem dog (un-neutered male with nothing to do) that digs incessantly, I nearly surprised myself at my reaction - if I had a dog like that it would be tonight's special with a free egg roll.
The moment opened me to some of my earliest work with horses. A horse will break its leg if it steps into a hole the dog made. This is the rule in the stable - the dog is there to do a job and that job is to hunt groundhogs so there are no holes for the horses to step in. That dog that digs holes for horses to step in, well it's a working farm and there are no illusions here.
And in fact the dog at the stable was a superb hunter, and patrolled the entire property. Talking a very happy dog and treat day is the day the farrier comes. The dog loves hoof shavings.
Noted that none discuss if a cat should sleep on the bed. Telling a cat what to do is, at best, poor form and usually leads to trouble. Cats abhor closed doors too. Fine, fine hunters they are.

I am sure they will be checking to see if he can/will care for the pooch. He has a job and a family, like any other person.
Regardless if he has a family, RSPCA will vet whoever gets the dog next.

. The best I have ever seen is the Long Island Bulldog Rescue group, where I've gotten two of my dogs. They insist upon a date to face meeting not just with the potential owners, but their pets. I went down once to see one of their dogs. We bonded well, but the dog had a little issue at first with the dog we already had. Nothing serious, and I am sure it would have worked out easily, but the foster owner felt it wasn't a good match, despite our record. The next one we met shortly after was a perfect match.
My dog has so much energy, she's really strong and fast so I can't keep up with her. I tried her to go alongside with me skateboarding but it's just way too dangerous. Any of you guys ever tried taking your dog running will riding a bicycle?
I tried some years ago with my big dog, Boston. I thought that some jogging in the park would have helped him with his anxiety but it didn't. Maybe it was too soon for him, maybe I did something wrong in the process but I ended up choosing a different strategy, which luckily worked.
He followed me only if I was running slow, when I started to run faster he started to bite my heels. Too much excitement was transformed into aggressive behaviour, I guess. It was very common with him during the first months with me. Poor dog, he was so neglected and traumatized.
Anxiety is not a problem since years now.
I've noticed that the look on most of the dogs' faces in this thread seems to say, "PLAY WITH ME! PLEEEEASE!!!"

Our baby, Shadow, who has had me pretty tightly wound around her paw ever since the day we brought her home as a tiny puppy a year and a half ago. Clearly, since in all the years I've had pets, this was the first time I've felt compelled to take a goofball Christmas photo with one. We even wrapped her gifts this year and helped her figure out how to unwrap them. Yeah, we've lost our minds.

Gotta send this to my daughter. She has experience making sweaters for rescue chickens. No, seriously. I thought "rescue chickens" sounded like they were like avalanche dogs except they worked in flocks, but it turns out that chicken tend to lose their feathers if they get stressed out from things like being rescued from from bad living environments and can die quickly if they can't maintain their body temperature. So people started knitting sweaters for them. Next thing ya know they'll have reverse scuba suits for stranded fish...
Golden Retriever Rescue of Michigan is the same way. We got the dog we have now because he made it clear that he chose me as much as us choosing him. Far and away the best dog we've ever had. We've always wondered how someone could have given him up. Someone obviously put some effort into training him before he came to us.
