When reading Best Friends Magazine, we couldn't help but fall in love with the dog from the cover, Maria. What a cute pooch! When we turned to page 44 to read the article - we smiled delightfully to see Maria having fun with our Super S-s-stretch tug toy in the shape of a large snake.

The story of Maria melted our hearts. It is amazing how a puppy with health problems, who can't keep food down, can still have puppy energy. Thank goodness for all of the amazing people at Best Friends for saving Maria! We are inspired for sure!

We also noticed the article on page 20 about the Rolling Dog Ranch - a sanctuary in Montana that is near and dear to West Paw Design.  From donating in the past to voting for them in the "petfinder Shelter Challenge" (and helping them win $20,000) we love to see them succeed in helping animals with physical disabilities. It is wonderful to see so many great organizations doing so much good!
