Under the supervision of Sammy the Bichon, Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed a bill into law today that establishes new regulations on the care and treatment of animals housed in large-scale establishments.

Supporters say the “puppy-mill law” signals an end to Ohio’s reputation as a haven for disreputable large-scale dog breeders who come here because of the state’s lax oversight of puppy mills.

Dear Photograph,
My grandparents shared an astonishing ability to blend intensity and laughter in everything they did. I realize how much their dark, Germanic sense of humor is embedded in my own character. I remember that afternoon in 1995, when they posed for the camera, enacting a present retroactively shaped by a future in which they would be gone. I appreciated their idea for that photo then, and I felt as if I shared a nice laugh with them this afternoon when I bicycled to the cemetery to snap this Dear Photograph.

Dear Photograph,
Forty years ago, we climbed all over him always asking for “one more ride”. The tractor is long gone and so is he, but never our memories of the best tractor driver in town…our Grandpa.
Love, Nicolas

Cocoa is a 3-year-old Alpine Pygmy mixed goat who lives with its owner Fakroddin in Summit, New Jersey. They frequently take trips into Manhattan to enjoy the city. Fakroddin raised Cocoa since she was 2 months old and treats her like a human. “She doesn’t like goats, she doesn’t like farms, she likes the people and the city.” Fakroddin said.
