Aloha Dog Lovers,

We can't think of anything better than enjoying the long days of summer with dogs at our side. We nosed around and found some fun summer gear - toys, Fido Floats, a deep-clean pet washer and even pet sunscreen.

Going on vacation and wondering what to do with the dog? We have a quick guide to help you find just the right pet care professional. Learn about local veterinarian Dr. Patrick Leadbeater's groundbreaking work in regenerative stem cell therapy and the dynamic future of veterinary medicine.

Meet the Beagles, Scout and Ally, Hawaii's canine scent detection team on the job, sniffing out the lowdown bed bug.

Artist John Pritchett ponders what dogs really dream about, while Daniel Van Zyle celebrates the noble and loyal Boxer.

As always, a big bark out to our advertisers and readers. Have a safe and glorious summer!
