Dear Dodo Reader,

Thanks for signing up. It's been just a month, but it's been a big one -- we've had more than 1 million unique visitors -- as we've covered big stories like the dolphin hunt in Japan, the giraffe scandal in Denmark and those heart-wrenchingly cute Sochi dogs at the Olympics.

Some of you came by to learn why dogs tilt their heads or why all those rabbits live on Japan's "Bunny Island." Others maybe just came to watch a cat tunnel and triumph over the snow.

And many of you have joined and posted your own amazing stories, or fueled our social campaigns (like the amazing #snowdogs response). If you haven't already, I hope you'll sign up for your own free Dodo account, and share all of your great animal stories, photos, videos, Vines, etc. You'll find a smart and friendly home here.

And you'll join other amazing members, like Bill Maher, Glenn Greenwald, Arianna Huffington, "Dog Whisperer" Cesar Milan, Craig Newmark, MSNBC's Steve Kornacki and Joan Walsh, and CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who, as it turns out, is a terrific cartoonist.

We hope you'll keep reading -- and contributing!

Sincerely,
Kerry Lauerman, CEO/Editor-in-Chief
