Please comment 
'Named for the Canadian province where it originated, the Newfoundland's webbed feet, rudder-like tail, and water-resistant coat make it a natural swimmer. But over the centuries it is the dog's devotion to people that has made it a hero. The plucky breed is credited for pulling so many people in distress from the water that it has earned its nickname 'lifeguard dog.'...'[National Geographic]
Please comment Police canine unit needs 'drastic' reform MD 'An external review of the Prince George's County police canine unit is critical of the squad's training, procedures and oversight policies, and recommends pulling all canine officers from active duty until fundamental changes are made...' Failings cited included lack of training and supervision [Gazette]
Please comment Please comment Please comment Please comment 'I really wish people would get this excited over abuse and neglect of children.. I mean, my gosh, it was just a dog-dragging incident..' [complainant's response to public outcry] When nobody claimed it, the dog was euthanized... [Omaha World Herald]

Please comment Dogs banned from beach to protect sea lion pup NZ [Stuff] 'A temporary dog ban has been put in place on Allan's Beach, on the Otago Peninsula, to protect a sea lion and her pup...The sea lion known as 'Mum' as she is the matriarch of Otago's sea lion population, has made the beach her home for the past week...'
Related: October 2002: Dog survives off-shore fight with Cape Town bull seal South Africa's Disney, a bull terrier with an attitude, tried a second time to duke it out with a bull seal just off shore in Cape Town. This time, she was rescued by a horse-riding instructor who bravely pulled her away from the giant bull seal, but not before the dog had received gashes which required 45 stitches and the near loss of her tail. Her owner excused the dog saying, 'Disney is impossible. She just runs around on the beach looking for seals'... Cape dog bites off more than she can chew [Independent Online] (here's where a leash can save the owner a lot of money and the dog a lot of pain... )
Please comment Please comment Please comment Our dog visited his friends at the hospital day care center yesterday... many of his day care friends are toothless or getting there; and so is he... well, he's missing one tooth, right in front, and his other front teeth are somewhat wobbly. This endears him to people who have endured the losses that come with aging. When he takes a treat from a client, he is so gentle that he gets a laugh... he would rather lick the treat that take it outright... he's so polite, he'll take it and then drop it when he thinks nobody's looking.... When I explained about his loose teeth, everyone chimed in with their own story... dentures that don't fit... or teeth that are sore... When they learned he has his own electric doggy toothbrush, they howled... our dog has it all...
