Search Results: best kind of dog

I've always loved animals and I've been noticing for quite some time that they really, really like certain people. All the animals that I come into contact with seem to like me (even bugs are drawn to me, much to my displeasure). Random dogs and cats will come to me seemingly out of nowhere and pretty much force me to acknowledge their presence. Dogs will jump up on me, tail wagging, tongue out, looking at me like we're the best of buddies even though I've never seen them before. Dirty alley cats will twine through my legs and meow at me until I almost trip over them. I took my child to a petting zoo and a zebu let me pet him but stuck his enormous tongue all the way down my arm until he was basically licking my armpit and even when I cried out and jumped away it still kept trying to lick me. Not five minutes later a camel was nipping at my bum while we watched some pygmy goats play. The camel licked me too (a LOT) when I turned to look at him and as I pet him the owner said, "Aw, he wanted you to pay attention to him instead." It's not just me that experiences this kind of thing frequently. I've met a few people who have too and they don't really know why either. I'm just curious if anyone else has had things like this happen to them. Also, if anyone has any ideas on why this happens, I'd like to hear it. Thanks in advance.

Ok, so I have a lab mix. she's about 10 years old and she's overweight and is losing her hair. I live in NY so Its starting to get cold where I live. she's all pink from scratching and tearing out her fur. What can I do besides get her to a vet and feed her coconut oil? What is the best kind of dog food to get for someone like her? I heard food with limited ingredients is best, but what do you think? Im tired of seeing her suffer and the people I live with think she should just be put down! I dissagree and Im willing to pay high vet bills because Im the only one that seems to really even care about this poor dog!
