HERBS AND SPICES FOR YOUR DOG'S HEALTH

My daughter, with professional accreditation as a industrial designer, found she had to turn elsewhere, with government cut-backs to contracts, to make a living for herself and her daughter and her companion animals. She turned to her love of animals and their welfare, and her natural ability to connect and communicate with animals and for the last four years has leased out her talents as a dog trainer; more accurately someone who trains their owners to understand how to communicate with and give discipline to their lives living with their beloved pets.

She also operates a website and a blogsite. She spends countless hours doing research and writing articles relating to canine obedience, communication, well-being, nutrition and health issues at http://ottawavalleydogwhisperer.blogspot.ca. She often receives enquiries/requests from websites devoted to animal care and welfare for some of her articles to be re-published on their sites, and she agrees, as long as proper attribution is given, that she is the author of the article.

Yesterday she discovered that some of her articles have been lifted and used without her knowledge and without attributing their authorship to her by a commercial online, well-funded newsletter used by Westjet. This blatant act of literary piracy has infuriated her since this is pillaging her source of income, though she offers the educational material she writes and posts at no charge to those who follow her blogsite.

She has hopes of building her business to the point where she may become fully financially self-sufficient through both her endeavours; her discerning writing ability which attracts thousands of interested dog-lovers, and her professional capability as a dog trainer. This kind of plagiaristic looting of the fruit of her labours represents a sad commentary on the unscrupulous mindset of predatory pirates posing as legitimate, honest brokers.

She wrote to the media expert company associated with the airline to notify them of the situation, sending along a screenshot grabbed from the site at: http://www.pawsforthenews.tv/1news/2current-news/natural-care-for-your-dog-cat-herbs-spices-for-your-dogs-wellbeing/#comment-19765.

Along with her own blogsite where the original article appeared: http://ottawavalleydogwhisperer.blogspot.ca/2012/02/herbs-and-spices-for-your-dogs-health.html.
