Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Life is not particularly kind to stray dogs. Many times, they are either abused or outright ignored when they ask for help. That is why many of them live recluse lives as far away from other humans as possible. This paints a very bleak picture about us, but it’s not always so bad.

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, September 2014 issue. The Shih Tzu is a “big dog in a little package.” In the United States, where the breed standard calls for a weight of 9 to 16 pounds, the Shih Tzu is classified as a toy breed, but in many other countries, it is in the Non-Sporting or Utility group. Whatever its size, a proper Shih Tzu should be sturdy and well-boned. If you pick it up, it is likely to be deceptively heavy for its size, with heavy bones, good spring of rib, and a broad, deep chest. From what we know of the breed’s history, it has always been thus. There is no evidence of a so-called “imperial gene,” and breed historian Victor Joris states that the breed in the royal court was similar in size to what is called for in today’s breed standards. Although the origin of the Shih Tzu is shrouded in mystery, it is probably mostly of Tibetan origin. Along with such breeds as the Lhasa Apso, Tibetan Terrier, and Tibetan Spaniel, it is one of a group of small, shaggy Oriental breeds classified as “lion dogs” and considered sacred in Buddhism.

If shelter dogs could talk, we’re pretty sure they’d have a common answer regarding the hardest part of being a shelter resident: watching visitors walk past them as though they don’t exist. One such dog experiencing this heartbreaking reality is Norman, a 4-year-old Terrier Mix currently at the Miami-Dade Animal Services. Norman isn’t like the rest of the shelter dogs, and that’s because he’s one of the longest residents there.
