Triumph: 1. a successful result brought about by hard work; 2. an instance of defeating an enemy or opponent.
Here’s a little tidbit of Triumph the Siberian Husky’s survival story…
This takes me back to the days after braces, when your orthodontist lectured you all the time that you needed to "wear your retainers" ...or else. I had to wear the guards to support all the teeth-straightening work of those embarrassing braces.
Similar, but not quite (I didn't have a biting people problem)... a Swiss inventor, Tim Saciri, recently designed a dog-specific bite guard that covers the dog's front teeth. These doggie orthodontics are not meant to be invisible braces, but are supposed to help prevent injuries and protect potential bite victims. The guard makes it impossible for the dog to clamp his teeth down all the way. Sounds like a pretty good idea, especially for those dogs that have a biting problem. Not sure what the production plans are, but hopefully it will be a good bite prevention method.
Here's Tim showing off his Rottweiler Camino's pearly whites and his dog bite guard creation.



Finally a place where follically challenged dogs can go and know they belong. A place where others look like them. A place dogs can frolic in their hairless fabulousness! Members include the Peruvian Hairless, American Hairless Terriers, Chinese Cresteds, Italian Greyhounds, and Mexican Hairless Dogs. It's a place where different nationalities come together as one.

This weird feathery-twig-like-animal-rodent-bird-looking-thing actually has a name, it is called a Jerboa.
