Dog’s Best Friend
“To read the headlines, you’d think it’s a good time to be an animal- furry, feathered, or otherwise…
But to hear Robert Scheinberg & Danielle Eden-Scheinberg tell it, there’s much more to be done- especially in Canada. The married couple operates the animal-rescue sanctuary Dog Tales north of Toronto, with their efforts broadcast on the TV series Dog Tales Rescue…
In season 2 of Dog tales Rescue…Scheinberg and Eden-Scheinberg…visit overcrowded shelters in Israel, assist emergency evacuations in North Carolina, rescue paralysed dogs in Cairo, & take a lengthy road trip across Canada, among other missions.
The Dog Tales sanctuary sits on 20 hectares of green fields, rolling hills, & wooded areas. Along with more than 50 full time staff members, Scheinberg & Eden-Scheinberg currently care for about 120 dogs, 78 horses, donkeys & ponies, 3 sheep, 5 or 6 pigs, a few chickens, & a few ducks.
Ask the couple about their most memorable rescues, & they’re quick to answer…
‘You can see in the 2nd season that we went to Manitoba & were chasing dogs around to try & catch them. And there were 40 pit bulls that the government wanted to euthanize, & Rob took it as a mission to save them & he succeeded. In the 2nd season we’re going to see them.’
Scheinberg jumps in: ‘One of them is working as a police dog in Virginia, one is getting trained to be a service dog for a war vet in the States, 2 others are being trained to be police dogs across the States. There are a lot of success stories with these pit bulls that were deemed too dangerous for society…
To that end, one of his next fights- & there’s always a next fight- is against Breed Specific Legislation, which refers to laws that either regulate or ban certain dog breeds in an effort to decrease attacks on humans & other animals.
‘We want to educate kids & adults on how to treat all animals, not just dogs,’ says Scheinberg. ‘It’s cows, sheep- they all have feelings.’”
