Seized Pet Dogs back with owner

This story has a happy ending.

Hooch is back with his owner
Two dogs saved from a destruction order by a magistrate earlier this week have been returned to their owner in east Belfast.
Mongrels Roxy and Hooch spent the last year in a dog pound, because it was thought they were pit bulls.

The animals were seized by Belfast City Council last January after a report that their owner, 64-year-old Irene Chambers, kept dangerous dogs.

However, on Wednesday a magistrate accepted the dogs were mongrels.

Dismissing the charges he said the dogs were owned by a "loving and caring lady".


Roxy has also been returned

Mrs Chambers cried when the ruling was made.

The dogs are now back home in Knock Way but have to be kept apart until they get used to each other again. source: K9 news

Beagle Saved after swallowing Needle

Louie the beagle was spotted by his owner Sue Mitchell with the needle in his mouth but swallowed it before she could retrieve it.
He was rushed to a vet in Telford who cut him open and managed to remove it and he has now made a full recovery.
"It's just one of those things that you do not expect to happen," Sue, from Shifnal, Shrops, told BBC News. "You only have to turn away for a second."
'Caught red-handed'
Vet Barry Jacob, from Companion Care, said Louie could have easily died.
"We x-rayed Louie as soon as he was brought into the surgery and we could see that it appeared to be in the stomach," he said.
"It was too risky to leave it there so we undertook an emergency operation and it went very well.
"It was potentially very serious because if the needle had perforated the intestines it may have caused peritonitis (infection of the abdominal cavity).
"Fortunately, Louie was caught red-handed and brought straight down to us." Source: k9 news

Kiefer Sutherland Action Hero Scared of Lap Dogs

The '24' star recoiled in terror when a fan recently approached him in a Beverly Hills restaurant carrying a tiny Yorkshire Terrier to ask him for an autograph.

A source told the National Enquirer magazine: "When Kiefer jumped the pooch went berserk, growling, yapping and snapping.

"The lady giggled and told him, 'He doesn't bite.'"

Kiefer replied: "I'm sure, but let's not take the chance. I'll give you the autograph, but why don't you and your doggie go back to your table."

The action hero then signed a napkin the woman had brought over and got a waiter to deliver it to her table.

Meanwhile, Kiefer has confessed he sabotaged the release of his own action figure after setting fire to the prototype on a drunken night out.

Another increditable Story- SHEP

- Shep was a border collie who followed his beloved master everywhere. When the man died in 1936, Shep followed the man's coffin to the train station in Fort Benton, Montana. When they refused to allow him on the train, Shep hung around the station yard and waited for his master to return. For the next six years, Shep checked every train that arrived at the station for his master. Tragically, Shep was killed by a passing train in 1942. His story was memorialized in a book titled Forever Faithful-the Story of Shep. He even has his own memorial with a large bronze sculpture of himself in a little park over looking the river.

Halloween Safety Tips for your Pets

Halloween safety tips for Pets Safety
Don't leave your pet out in the yard on Halloween: There are plenty of stories of pranksters on this night.
Trick-or-treat candies are not for pets: Chocolate is poisonous to a lot of animals. Tin foil and candy wrappers can be hazardous if swallowed.
Be careful of pets around a lit pumpkin: Pets may knock it over and cause a fire. Curious kittens especially run the risk of getting burned.
Don't dress the dog in costume unless you know he loves it. Otherwise, it puts a lot of stress on the animal.
If you do dress up your dog, make sure the costume isn't constricting, annoying or unsafe. Be careful not to obstruct their vision and get your dog used to wearing his/her costume before the actual date of Halloween.
All but the most social dogs should be kept in a separate room during trick-or-treat visiting hours; many strangers in strange garb can be scary for a dog.
Be careful your cat or dog doesn't dart out through the open door.
Walk your dog early in the night, before it gets dark.
Have a fun, safe and Happy Halloween from Halloween is Here!

Author of Harry Potter Books GIves large Donation

JK Rowling has named the greyhound 'Sapphire'
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has provided a magical new home for a rescued dog in Fife.
Celia Fernie, who runs Greyhound Rescue near Kinghorn, said she had no idea who the customer was until she handed over a signed cheque.

The new family member, called Sapphire, is in addition to the author's Jack Russell terrier Butch.

Mrs Fernie said she had asked the whole family to come to the rescue centre to ensure they could provide a good home.

Generous offer

She asked Ms Rowling for a standard contribution of £30. However the author made out a cheque for £1,000.

"She was just a lovely person. We were chit-chatting and she was saying that other members of her family had dogs. They were just a very nice family," said Mrs Fernie.

The money has been used to provide veterinary help for some of the rescue centre's residents.

The pet rehoming service was established in 2005 and is celebrating providing a new family for its 100th dog. News

Dog stabbed 55 times

A man has been arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty after a dog was stabbed 55 times in an attack in Brighton.
The American bulldog was found dead in undergrowth in Moulsecoomb Wild Park at about 1300 BST on Wednesday.

RSPCA inspector Tony Pritchard said the wounds were "way beyond what you would do in self-defence".

Mr Pritchard said police were following a theory that a woman had possibly been attacked by a dog, and then another person came and killed it.

"That dog was very nearly decapitated by the severity of the blows to the neck. That's not self defence, nor is hiding the body in the undergrowth," he added.

'Silver shoes found'
Souce: THe World wide web
The animal welfare inspector said an anonymous caller told police that a woman was seen running from the undergrowth between midday and 1300 BST.

The caller also claimed a man was later seen pulling up in a white van and entering the bushes where the dog's body was found.

Stuffing from a coat was found at the scene, along with two silver shoes, Mr Pritchard said.

He added that there were drag marks on the ground, which was covered in blood.

'Get in touch'

A witness appeal has gone out to three other women in their 30s, who were seen walking a dog in the park earlier that day, between 0930 and 1000 BST.

Mr Pritchard said it would be "very useful to talk to these women about anything they may have seen" and urged them, or anyone who knows them, to "get in touch".

One had purple hair in a bob cut, the second had very short brown hair, and the third had curly brown hair.

The dog was not microchipped or wearing a collar and its owner has not been traced.
