August 26th, 2009 THIS MONTH FROM BARK Welcome to the dog days of summer and Bark’s August newsletter, your monthly update on happenings at Bark central and a perfect complement to our bimonthly magazine! This subscriber-only newsletter helps you stay on top of the best we have to offer. SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER ISSUE PREVIEW The upcoming issue leads off with Irish Wolfhound Foley, our largest cover dog ever. Inside, we delve into how those life-saving search dogs are found and trained, what’s being done to help street dogs in an island paradise, and what happens when beauty drives breeding. (Click here for a sneak preview of our search-dog article.) Learn more about what makes dogs tick, and then settle in for some good reading, including an original essay by playwright David Rabe, short fiction from new voice Murray Dunlap and some great books for the kids. We had a terrific time putting this issue together for you! RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AND GET HOWL FREE! We have an incredible offer for you—as a thank-you, we’ll send you a FREE hardcover copy of our humor anthology, Howl, when you renew your subscription! Howl is a hilarious, must-read collection of dog-inspired merriment, and it’s yours at no cost when you renew for a two-year subscription term for only $24.95—an amazing 74% savings.

PUP-WORTHY PICKS Every conceivable dog-related product passes across the Bark editors’ desks—from the extremely useful to the “what in the world is that?” variety. We’ve selected some of our seasonal favorites—including Petprojekt’s Dogmat(left)—and share their indispensable qualities. Click here to check them out. WANTED: CANINE PHOTOBOOTH PIX As summer comes to an end, we are reminded of seasons past by our collection of vintage photobooth pictures—keepsakes from county fairs, arcades and boardwalks we’ve accumulated from flea markets, antique stores and Bark readers. We’ll be gathering them all into a very special book, and you can be part of this unique project! Pry open those old photo albums and look for heirloom photobooth snapshots that include a dog in the frame, then email your finds to cameron@thebark.com. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD Become a “Bark Expert” panel member and tell us what’s on your mind. We want to find out what’s important to dog lovers, and who better to assist us than our readers?

We invite you to take this first easy survey—all results are strictly confidential, and who knows? You could be a winner!
