True or False?

A litter of puppies can have more than one dad.

One lucky doggo is getting a little star power in his search for a forever home, thanks to singer Pink! While in town for her St. Paul show, Pink reached out to The Bond Between, an animal rescue in Minnesota, to foster a sweet puppy named Graham Cracker.

But this isn’t just any foster situation—Graham Cracker is joining Pink and her family on tour! In an Instagram post, the rescue shared their excitement:

“We still can’t believe this is happening! The incredible @pink —yes, THE P!NK—reached out to us while she’s in town for her St. Paul show to foster our sweet boy, Graham Cracker! If that wasn’t amazing enough, she’s taking Graham on the adventure of a lifetime with her and her family on tour, with the goal of helping him find his forever home by the end of it!”

Pink’s love for rescue animals runs deep, and fostering pups while on tour is something she’s done before. The rescue also hinted that Pink might already be falling for Graham. “Who knows… maybe Graham’s forever home is already right there with her!”

In a fun clip from her concert, Pink shared with fans, “We rescued a puppy from this awesome organization called The Bond Between. His name is Graham Cracker, he’s currently peeing all over my dressing room,” she joked.

She explained that he’s joining them for the entire tour and that when the tour wraps in South Carolina, they’ll start taking applications for his new family.

Pink even teased that she might keep him herself! But ultimately, she encouraged fans to foster dogs, calling it a “lovely thing to do.” Whoever ends up adopting Graham will get to meet Pink at one of her shows and leave with the sweetest souvenir—Graham Cracker himself!

Senior dogs are special dogs. I remember when I volunteered at a shelter, I wanted to take all the grey-faced dogs home. It tugged at my heart to see them without a family at their age. One dog in particular—Harry—was brown with white eyebrows and would get so excited whenever I came to walk him. We’d take slow strolls together, and when we returned to his kennel, he’d break into what I can only describe as slow-motion zoomies and show off everything he had: a blanket, a ball, and a stuffed animal.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month—a perfect time to celebrate these wise, wonderful dogs and encourage others to give them a chance. Senior pups have a hard time finding homes, but they have so much love to give (and so much to love about them!). Here are five reasons why you should open your home to a senior pet:

1. They’re calmer companions
   Older doggos typically have lower energy levels than younger ones. If you're looking for a couch buddy or a calm companion, a senior dog is a great fit. They still enjoy playtime but won’t demand marathon sessions.

2. They’re often already trained

   Many senior dogs come to shelters already housebroken and well-behaved. Their maturity makes it easier for them to settle into a new home; they’re more likely to follow your routine than challenge it.

3. Less supervision required

   Unlike a puppy, older dogs aren’t constantly getting into trouble and need supervision.

4. You’re giving them a second chance

   Senior pups are some of the last to be adopted. By choosing them, you’re saving a life and giving them the loving home they deserve.

5. You’ll cherish them (even more)

   When you adopt a senior dog, you’re giving them a home for the rest of their life. Of course, that’s the intention for any pup you bring into your family – but with a senior dog, the time you have together is shorter. You get the joy of making their final years the best they’ve ever had, and in return, you’ll never take your days with them for granted.

Have you ever adopted a senior dog? We’d love to hear all the feel-good ways they’ve changed your life for the better!

Getting a new car is so exciting—smooth ride, that fresh-off-the-lot smell, maybe even heated seats. But what if your dog hates it? They’re not jumping in, and they suddenly dread car rides. Don’t panic! It’s likely the new sights, sounds, and smells are throwing them off. Here’s how to help them adjust.

Start by letting your dog get familiar with the car in small steps. Don’t rush them into a long trip right away. Instead, invite them to sit in the parked car with some tasty treats or their favorite blanket. Go ahead and hop in the backseat with them, give them some good pets, and just hang out for a little bit.

Once your pup is brave and gets into the car again, try taking quick, fun trips. Maybe just a quick ride around the block or a short drive to the park. The goal is to associate car rides with positive experiences, so toss in lots of praise and their favorite treats, too.

It might take some time, but with patience and plenty of rewards, your dog can learn to love the new car as much as you do. Soon enough, they’ll be back to loving car rides with their head out the window! Have you ever had to deal with a tough transition to a new car? Tell us what tips helped you!

Daily Dig is inspired and brought to you by our wonderful dogs. Our dogs, and all the other pups out there, make the world a happier, brighter place. ❤️

With lots of love,
