PetPix Today!

In San Francisco since1996, biodegradable poop bags are placed in dog parks for people to deposit dog waste in special bins. The poop is hauled to a methane digester to be combined with plant material, which works like a composter. Microorganisms gorge on the waste, producing methane gas, biogas. That is used to make electricity or burned in place of natural gas.

Ongoing studies bring us more news about the positive affect pets can have on us at every age and for all walks of life. From the calming influence of a Guide Dog for autistic children and their family to the happiness-factor blood-pressure-reducing effect of visiting pet programs for the shut-ins in hospitals, retirement villas and nursing homes, the perceived and real value of our pets continues to increase.

One of our goals in this pet blog and on our main website at www.MillionDollarPetPix.com is to celebrate pets with pet lovers and pet owners around the world. To share stories, photos and information that celebrates the wonder of pets and that promotes responsible pet ownership in a fun and positive way.
