I Heard Of Horse Power In A Car, But Dog Power?
It wasn’t really dog power but there was a little eight week old Lab stuck in Darlene Broome’s car which was strange to find after hearing noise coming from her car.
Darlene Broome said: I kept hearing this whining like an animal noise coming from around my car and the puppy was wedged in the motor on top of the transmission. The puppy was actually stuck, about an eight week old lab that she found under the hood of her car. I've heard of cats doing this before getting up in motors of vehicles but never a puppy or dog.
It’s amazing that the little dog even survived the ordeal in the first place. And a Big Thanks goes out to Matt Baxley for helping this puppy out of a jam and taking the dog to a vet.

More Dogs Seized In Different Areas
Florida deputies down in Polk County have done it again, this time they rescued sixty two dogs in Haines City that were taken from James Odom. So far James has been charged with twenty counts of animal abuse with more charges coming his way.
Sheriff Grady Judd said: It was a clear message; we are not going to tolerate animal abuse. Our Animal Control staff is working around the clock to address this overwhelming influx of abused animals. We are asking the rescue groups who we have worked with before to come to our aid. We will be open around the clock to ensure that the rescue groups have the opportunity to respond to our plea for assistance.
They must really be over whelmed with all the dogs they have rescued in the past week.

Down in Plant City the police arrested four people on charges for dog fighting named Antonio Ramirez, Bobby Bailey, Hector Rodriguez and Ricky Quiroz.
Great work and I hope these four get the book thrown at them.

Up in Pierce County, Washington the animal control officers removed about fifty five dogs along with other animals from a home owner in Eatonville.
This is the same owner that had her animals taken from her a year ago and still she hasn’t learned her lesson.
Hopefully she will be charged this time by the prosecutor.

True Friends Among Animals
I couldn't pass up sharing this e-mail I received.
True Friends
After losing his parents, this 3 year old orangutan was so depressed he wouldn't eat and didn't respond to any medical treatments. The veterinarians thought he would surely die from sadness. The zoo keepers found an old sick dog on the grounds in the park at the zoo where the orangutan lived and took the dog to the animal treatment center. The dog arrived at the same time the orangutan was there being treated. The 2 lost souls met and have been inseparable ever since.
The orangutan found a new reason to live and each always tries his best to be a good companion to his new found friend. They are together 24 hours a day in all their activities.
They live in Northern California where swimming is their favorite past time, although Roscoe (the orangutan) is a little afraid of the water and needs his friend's help to swim.
Together they have discovered the joy and laughter in life and the value of friendship.
They have found more than a friendly shoulder to lean on.
Long Live Friendship!!!!!!!
I don't know......some say life is too short, others say it is too long, but I know that nothing that we do makes sense if we don't touch the hearts of others.......while it lasts!
Update: Here is the link to the video of these two having fun here.

Has Your Dog Been Vaccinated In Racine, Wisconsin
If your dog was vaccinated at the Countryside Humane Society in Racine, Wisconsin it might have been done with an expired vaccine. I guess nobody was looking at the dates on the vaccine over the last few months, so if you are from that area you might want to check it out to be safe.
I wonder how many dogs have been vaccinated around the world with an expired vaccine. Maybe it would be a good idea to asked the person to check the date on any meds that are given to your pet.

Here's One Company That Takes Pride In Having Dogs In Their Work Place
Silverado Senior Living 'Chief Pet Officer' Proves Dogs are Execs' Best Colleague
From the early stages of planning his company 15 years ago to now, with his organization employing over 2,000 people in four states, Silverado Senior Living President, CEO and Board Chairman Loren Shook has had a constant partner at his side. While trusted partnerships are important in business, this one is a little different. Shook's close colleague has been his Labrador retriever Candy. She accompanied the chief executive to meetings with private equity firms in Los Angles skyscrapers in those initial days and has reported to the corporate headquarters with him since Silverado opened for business. Of course, Candy is expected to come to the office on Take Your Dog to Work Day, June 25.
Involving Candy in Silverado Senior Living "just seemed like the natural thing to do," said Shook, who believes that America's customary ban on dogs and other animals in the workplace "is a misunderstanding of the value of pets and what they can do for us. Pets reduce stress, help promote interaction between co-workers, and can be ice-breakers that help people start talking."
Candy has been given the title of "chief pet officer" and it's more than just a cute moniker. Silverado believes the presence of animals benefits the memory-impaired in its care as well as its employees, providing them with stress reduction, loving companionship, and the sense of reward that comes of helping care for them. For this reason, Silverado mandates that its memory-care communities adopt dogs and other pets to reside on the premises and be part of daily life. Like Candy, Silverado's pets are rescues, adopted from shelters, rescue organizations, and individuals unable to care for them.
Residents are also encouraged to bring their pets to live with them at Silverado, which takes responsibility for the animals' care even if their owners no longer reside at its communities. Silverado staff is asked to bring their animals to the workplace, too.
"Having dogs, cats, and other pets at Silverado for more than a decade has been incredibly positive for those in our care, our associates, and our whole company," Shook said. "I would encourage other businesses to consider inviting pets into their workplaces, too. Of course, there need to be rules; animals must be well-behaved and groomed and they can't be a distraction that keeps people from getting their work done. But at Silverado, we've shown it can be done successfully and that the benefits are tremendous."
Silverado Senior Living offers assisted living care for those with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of memory impairment as well as home care, care management, and hospice care through its Silverado At Home and Silverado Hospice service lines. Silverado is based in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. and operates in 34 locations across California, Texas, Utah, and Arizona. Visit www.Silveradosenior.com for more information.

Why …..Tell Me Why Do People Do This To Their Pets
First of all how is it that nobody ever even seen all these animals at Doretha Harbinson’s home. When the police arrived they found some ninety animals living in a boarded up mobile home. There was also some fifty dead animals that were found in some containers and nobody seen any of this going on.
So now this person named Doretha Harbinson is being charged with animal cruelty and improper disposal of dead animals. How could anybody in their right mind do this, it’s just so sickening and to top it off the Cleveland County Coordinator of Health Services said they have visited Harbinson's home multiple times.
So who was sent there a blind person… sorry I didn’t mean to offend anyone but dam somebody had to see that something was wrong. The story always the same, it’s normally to late when someone finally takes some kind of action. I feel bad for all the animals that either had to die or live though this kind of hell.
