Dog Glossary

Dog geeks are invited to follow us every Wednesday Word Day to discover a new dog word each week. Follow us as we build up our large Dog-o-pledia from scratch and our dog glossary starts to grow. We won’t be happy to just supply a short definition for each word; instead, our goal is to expand on the topic so we can discover some new knowledge nugget about our dogs each time.  So sit back and relax as we do all the hard work to bring you a new doggy word delivered straight to you every week!
