"Oh My Dog" Beth Ostrosky Stern
Beth Ostrosky Stern‘s new book on choosing and caring for a dog, Oh My Dog, may appear to have a mixed message about animal welfare.
The wife of Howard Stern who has been both a volunteer at animal shelters and a North Shore Animal League America spokesperson, wrote that although her family had always taken in rescue pets from shelters, for some reason, she and Howard were set on finding a breed-an English Bulldog.
When she arrived at the breeder, she fell in love with a Bulldog that was a former show dog, but developed a wiggle and was of “no use” anymore in her former profession.
The dog went home with Beth and was named Bianca Romijn-Stamos-Ostrosky-Stern.
While adopting a shelter dog is the best way to reduce the millions of animals euthanized every year, like Beth’s story, some adoptions of breeds can prove just as beneficial, especially if the breed was “rescued” from a dangerous or unhealthy situation.
Like a bred dog suffering from the genetic mutation of missing or disabled limbs due to generations of inbreeding.
Retired racing greyhounds are another example of taking in a breed otherwise likely to be euthanized or abandoned.
