Why in the world would anyone ever do something like this to a dog?
A woman named Brenda Looney from Independence, MO came outside and seen her little Jack Russell hanging from a tree in her yard. Just a sad day for Brenda to see her dog like this and it makes you wonder why anyone would do this to her little dog.

Grandma Said She Save The Puppy In The River , Do You Believe Her ?
The updated article shows the dogs being held by the grandmother of the girl who threw them in the river. But as the article states the dogs don’t look like the same ones that were in the bucket.
To top it off I wonder how the grandmother could have jumped in the river and saved all of those poor dogs.

Hartz Mountain Naturals Real Beef Dog Treats Recall
The Hartz Mountain Corporation Recalls Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats Because of Possible Salmonella Health Risk
The Hartz Mountain Corporation is voluntarily recalling one specific lot of Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats for Dogs due to concerns that one or more bags within the lot may have been potentially contaminated with Salmonella. Hartz is fully cooperating with the US Food and Drug Administration in this voluntary recall.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, all of whom are at particular risk from exposure and should avoid handling these products.
Salmonella symptoms may include fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea in both dogs and humans. Anyone experiencing the symptoms of Salmonella infection should seek immediate medical attention. Owners of dogs exhibiting these symptoms should also seek veterinary assistance.
Hartz Mountain Corporation is recalling 74,700 8-oz bags of Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats for Dogs, lot code BZ0969101E, UPC number 32700-11519, which were imported by Hartz from a Brazilian supplier, Bertin S.A., and which were distributed to a number of customers in the United States. While regular testing conducted by Bertin (prior to shipment to the US) did not detect the presence of Salmonella in any packages of this product, random sample testing conducted by FDA did indicate the presence of Salmonella. Hartz is aggressively investigating the source of the problem.
Although Hartz has not received any reports of animals or humans becoming ill as a result of coming into contact with this product, Hartz is taking immediate steps to remove the product from all retail stores and distribution centers. Dog owners having purchased this product should check the lot code on their bag, and, if the code is not visible, or if the bag has lot code BZ0969101E imprinted thereon, they should immediately discontinue use of the product and discard it in a proper manner.
Consumers can contact Hartz at 1-800-275-1414 at any time with any questions they may have and for information on how to obtain reimbursement for purchased product.

Dog Owners Fined And Banned For Dog Eating Panties & Bras
At first the article sounded funny but in reality the dog had nearly died from eating so many bras and panties that by the time she was taken to the vet it was malnourished.
The Vet. Michael Jeffreson said: She was like a hat rack when she came in and was almost skeletal. I've never seen anything like it. Her stomach was so distended it took up her whole abdomen. We pulled out around a dozen under garments which were very large and can only be described as for a lady of a fuller figure. Within days Molly was like a new dog. In my opinion the owners of this dog by their negligence caused her unnecessary suffering over a considerable period of time in not seeking veterinary attention for her obvious emaciation and vomiting.
So now the dogs owners Rebecca Danville and Stuart Lane from Grimsby have been fined and banned from owning another animal for five years.

It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane, No It was A Dog To The Rescue
What a story of a dog named Baxter coming to the rescue of two little three year old's that were caught in a canal drainage area in West Ashley, SC.
Thank God the two little girls didn’t drowned and the dog was able to help with the rescue before things got worst. That sure is one special dog in my book and I’ll bet the parents of these two little girls are probably thinking the same thing. I just love reading an article with a good ending.

PETCO Teams Up For National Guide Dog Month
September is National Guide Dog Month at PETCO
PETCO has teamed with Actress Nicollette Sheridan and Natural Balance® Pet Foods in their goal to raise $1M to support guide dog organizations
Throughout September, pet parents can visit any of PETCO's more than 1000 locations to help PETCO and Natural Balance Pet Foods achieve their goal to raise $1M for guide dog organizations across the country. Customers may contribute at the register by either rounding up their purchase amount or making a donation of $1, $5, $10 or $20. In addition, $1 of any $25 purchase or greater of bags of Natural Balance dog food featuring Nicolette Sheridan's photo will also go to funding guide dog training and support. Donations may also be made online at www.petco.com/naturalbalance through September 24.
"I've always loved dogs, and supporting National Guide Dog Month is a special way to celebrate the unique bond between dogs and their owners," said Nicollette Sheridan. "Together, we can help make a difference for this important cause."
"The facts around legal blindness are compelling; every seven minutes someone in America becomes blind or visually impaired, additionally recent statistics show that thirteen percent of our military return from war with eye injuries," said Elisabeth Charles, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for PETCO. "Guide dogs are given to the visually impaired for free, yet it costs over $40,000 to train a guide dog team. PETCO is very proud to support the education of guide dogs. These animals are a gift of independence for someone who cannot see."
For more than two years, a potential guide dog puppy learns, practices and trains for the day when it graduates as a certified guide dog. A puppy is raised with a trainer for 18-20 months before it is given to a guide dog school for four to six months of formal training work with a harness. For the last month, the dog is matched with a blind person and they train together at the facility.
100% of proceeds from these National Guide Dog Month fundraising activities will be donated to several participating guide dog facilities, including:
* Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. (Oregon)
* Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. (California)
* Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind
* Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc.
* Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation
* The Seeing Eye, Inc.
* Guide Dogs of Texas, Inc.
* Guide Dogs of the Desert
* Guiding Eyes for the Blind
* Southeastern Guide Dogs, Inc.
* Leader Dogs for the Blind
