Dog mom’s, Bark and Swagger has a Mother’s Day gift just for you! We are partnering with a very cool company called Dog is Good, which celebrates all things dog and the wonderful things they do for us everyday. Before I tell you what dog lovers gift Dog is Good is donating, I have to tell you a bit about this company, because I love the work they are doing.

Dog is Good (D.I.G.) makes a variety of products featuring dogs, clever sayings pertaining to dogs, and inspiring messages about dogs, like tee shirts, hats, coffee mugs and more. They also offer products for our dogs, including toys, dishes, water bottles and waste bags. For some of their products, the company has created partnerships with other brands, like PetHub pet ID tags and Victoria Stilwell dog-related apparel. Company founders, Jon and Gila Kurtz, recognize what we all know; that dogs make our lives better (cats and other pets make our lives better, too, but this brand focuses on canines, so we will, too!)

But it is The BOLO Project that I really want to tell you about. D.I.G. has launched a year long initiative,  benefiting Leader Dogs for the Blind, to raise a Yellow Lab pup, aptly named BOLO, from 8 weeks old until he is ready to begin his guide dog training and become a Leader Dog. BOLO stands for Be On the Look Out, and its tag line is One puppy will change how you see the world. The project kicked off in September of 2013, when Jon and  Gila first picked BOLO up. A bit about Leader Dogs for the Blind: they are a non-profit whose mission it is to empower people who are blind, visually impaired or Deaf-Blind with lifelong skills for independent travel through quality Leader Dogs, highly effective client instruction and innovative services. It’s a great mission, and we can all participate by donating what we can to them through D.I.G. D.I.G. has partnered with high profile companies like Office Depot, Kurgo, John Paul Pet Shampoos and more. Here’s a photo of BOLO:
