By Online Monday, November 28, 2011
Candler, North Carolina—Virtual Leash is not only a colorful custom ID tag, it also allows pet owners to maintain a unique website/online profile for any animal, increasing the chances of a safe return in case the pet is lost. The pet’s exclusive website address and the owner’s phone number are printed on the custom Dog Tag Art ID tag. The website includes the pet’s information like photos, special needs, medical history and more. When someone finds the lost pet, they can go to the site listed on the tag, and simply click on the “I found this pet” button or type a personal message.
That will send the pet owner and/or any other emergency contacts a message either by robo-phone call, email, text or Twitter. It even uses Google Maps to help show where the dog was lost from.
To get Virtual Leash simply purchase any one of the Custom Pet ID Tags offered by Dog Tag Art for $11.99—and get the Virtual Leash for just $1 per month.
Beam of Light Shines on Fallen Soldier’s Miracle DogBy News on the Net Friday, November 25, 2011
Something nice for the holiday weekend which might bring some hope and joy to everyone. ABC News’ Kimberly Launier was in New Hampshire doing a photo shoot as part of an interview with the Rollin family. Their son Justin lost his life in Iraq, but his dog made it out and back home to Justin’s family. That’s when something special happened.
I was filming soldier Justin Rollin’s parents Skip and Rhonda playing with their dog Hero, whose rescue from the Iraq War zone where Justin died was nothing short of a miracle.
Sometimes when Rhonda hugged Hero she would softly pet her face and coo, “Justin, are you in there?” It was Rhonda’s gentle way of remembering their son and his last living connection to Hero. At one point, Hero wandered off and took a stroll in the backyard. All of a sudden, the clouds broke and a light began to solidify in a beam directly down on Hero — a kind of vertical halo.

A real-life drama that unfolded in the life of Earl Foster, pastor of Faith Community Church in Shady Hills, Florida. For him the prospect of flat-lining on a gurney was anything but hypothetical.
