The Most Overlooked Part of Your Home

You probably don’t think much about what sits at your front door, but it’s the first thing you and everyone else interacts with when coming home. Porte + Hall was built around the idea that this space deserves more attention. Founded by an interior designer, the brand rethinks everyday entryway essentials with a focus on both design and durability. The result is a collection that feels intentional, elevated, and made to handle real life without looking like an afterthought. I Love Every Dog readers can take 15% off sitewide (excluding the Porter) with code ENTRY15—a simple way to upgrade a small detail that makes a bigger impact than you’d expect.

How Little Dude Stepped Up to Test San Francisco’s Senior Pups

When you walk into Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco, you might expect to see a room full of cozy beds, graying muzzles, and gentle tail wags. What you might not expect is the tiny, whisker-faced companion who joins in to see how the pups do with cats on Fridays.

Meet Little Dude, a cat with a very important job title: Official Cat Tester.

Stepping Into Big Paw-Prints

For years, Muttville relied on a legend named Mustache, the brave cat who famously put thousands of rescue dogs to the test. Mustache's job was crucial: evaluate incoming senior dogs to see if they could safely live with feline family members.

The kitty tester's methodology was simple yet effective. He would sit calmly in a room, casually grooming a paw while a newly arrived dog was led past him. If the dog lunged or barked, they were marked as needing a cat-free home. If the dog simply offered a polite sniff or ignored him altogether, they passed with flying colors.

When Mustache passed away from advanced kidney disease, Muttville needed a successor with the same magic trait: complete and total immunity to dog drama.

Enter Little Dude.

A Day in the Life of a Feline Evaluator

Taking over a role from a local legend isn't easy, but Little Dude embraced the promotion without missing a beat. His job is crucial in helping senior pups get their forever.

Cat testing isn't just a fun gimmick—it is a lifesaving bridge between shelter life and forever homes. For senior dogs, getting an accurate behavioral profile speeds up the adoption process dramatically. A family with a cat at home can adopt a Muttville dog with total peace of mind, knowing Little Dude already gave the green light.

By staying cool under pressure, this small cat is helping dozens of old dogs find the warm laps, soft beds, and loving families they deserve for the rest of their lives.
