This is my sister Gracie. She gets the biggest kick out of dog videos! She goes berserk, barking and howling at them when they come on the computer.

Some talented folks have put together a great collection of very funny videos, and some sad ones, thought provoking ones, sentimental ones, and what were they thinking ones! So, we scoured YouTube and Amazon to bring the best videos we could find, right to your paws!!!

We hope you enjoy this lens and add a few videos yourself!

I am very sad to say that Skidboot was laid to rest on Sunday, March 25th, 2007. Half Australian blue heeler and half "chef's surprise," Skidboot was buried under an oak tree on the Quinlan ranch of David and Barbara Hartwig, his loving family.The Hartwigs asked that Skidboot's fans remember him with a donation to their favorite animal shelter. We salute you Skidboot!

On August 29th, at 6:10 AM Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.

What followed was one of the most horrific tragedies to befall the United States - for humans and for animals. I often think about those people and poor pups that had to suffer and fight to survive.

Here are just a few of the wonderful videos that document all the animal heroes and animals affected by this tragedy, as well as a great and inspiring reunion clip.

They are faithful, hard working and have a lot of courage. They are the heroes of the dog world.

My sister Gracie was taken from a hoarder - where she lived with 70 other dogs during her first four months of life. Many of the older dogs that she lived with were sick and starving. Thanks to a local veterinarian and a concerned citizen, she was taken in and listed on Petfinder.com - where Mom found her. Gracie has a new life, but many animals don't get that chance.

There are so many issues affecting us pups, and it seems the list keeps growing. Here we honor those that lobby and strive to keep us safe, warm, fed and loved. We salute you!

We warn you - some of these videos are graphic and not suitable for young and sensitive eyes.
