Nothing can stop these Brave little Chihuahuas

These three pups, born without front legs, quickly learned to hop on their back paws. But it was a short-term solution. And now they've got what they really need -- a set of wheels.

"Chihuahuas aren't meant to hop around. Long term, it would lead to spine and hip injuries," Animal League spokesman Devora Lynn told About.com.

Lynn suspects that the dogs fell victim to human misbehavior. "Celebrities have made Chihuahuas a hot commodity, and some breeders are not acting responsibly."

And now the three 11-month-olds -- Venus, Carmen and Pablo -- are learning to steer Chihuahua-sized aluminum wagons, small and light enough for them to push, that will let them lead normal lives.Source: North Shore animal league http://feeds.feedburner.com/dogcents.blogspot.com

Police Officers Kick Pet Dogs

Two police officers have been told they face possible jail sentences for causing suffering and "mental terror" to their two pet dogs.

Magistrates in Denbigh heard how Anja Mason, 29 and Craig Macleod, 34, who lived together in Prestatyn, now also face losing their jobs.

A neighbour filmed them hitting and kicking the pets and called the RSPCA.

Both admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a collie pup called Tess and Macleod to a rottweiler, Snoopy.

Both officers, who will be sentenced on 25 November, have been removed from frontline duties until the end of the case, said North Wales Police.

The court was told a neighbour had been concerned about the ill-treatment of dogs at the property and had called the RSPCA on several occasions.


There were several incidents of deliberate ill-treatment and frightening of the dogs

Wendy Gibbs, chair of magistrates

However, when an RSPCA inspector found no evidence of cruelty, the neighbour bought camera equipment and positioned it overlooking the couple's yard.

Prosecuting, Glenn Murphy said: "To her credit this lady purchased a camera and she took many hours of video footage."

A DVD, about 15-20 minutes in length, was played to the court.

In one scene Mason was filmed hitting the pup's head and kicking her.

Later the dog was seen pulling washing from a line before Macleod emerged from the house and chased it to a corner of the yard. Out of shot of the camera the dog could then be heard yelping.

'Intentionally caused pain'

In other scenes, Macleod sprayed the dogs with water and Mason is seen chasing the puppy with what appears to be a stick.

The rottweiler can also be heard yelping as it is apparently abused by Macleod off camera.

The court heard how Macleod had been concerned that the rottweiler was "over-zealous" with his eight-year-old daughter when she visited and he had been advised by a dog handler to spray water as a deterrent.

Magistrates chairwoman Wendy Gibbs told the defendants: "There were several incidents of deliberate ill-treatment and frightening of the dogs."

She said the magistrates had found no mitigating factors.

She added: "You intentionally caused pain and suffering to both dogs and mental terror to both dogs."

"You risked injury to both dogs by kicking them."

She said all sentencing options would remain open, including custody.


Magistrates found no mitigating factors for the actions of Macleod and Mason

Both defendants had faced six charges relating to alleged offences between March and April 2008.

However the majority of the charges were withdrawn when no evidence was offered against them.

The court heard the DVD had been viewed by a vet who concluded "the actions were not those of a reasonably competent and humane carer".

Joanne Stephens, defending, said neither Mason nor Macleod had intended to cause the animals pain.

The court heard both dogs were signed over to the RSPCA by their owners and are now doing well.

Miss Stephens said: "The defendants stand to lose their jobs as a result of having a criminal conviction which would affect their livelihoods."

Speaking after the case, RSPCA spokesman Gethin Russell-Jones said it was one of the most unusual cases he had been involved in because it hinged on the DVD evidence.

"There was no other evidence, and this neighbour had constructed this camera and concealed it and over the course of about a month...had captured these scenes," he said.

"Yes, that was crucial, and I'm sure as far as the court was concerned it was fairly striking evidence."

Asked about the fact the defendants are police officers, he said: "We prosecute without discrimination, and always fairly, so their occupation is irrelevant as far as we're concerned.

"If we find that animals have been treated unfairly, cruelly, or there's been unnecessary suffering, then the whole weight of the law comes down on them. The magistrate did say that, and it was a very harsh summing up."

A North Wales Police spokeswoman said: "Following today's appearance, both officers have been removed from front line duties and placed in non-operational roles pending the result of the case.

"As matters have not yet been finalised in court, it would be wholly inappropriate to make further comment at present." Source: Dog News

Welcome to the age of Cloned Pets

Bernann McKinney's late pit bull has been reborn as five cloned puppies -- the first successful commercial canine cloning, and no doubt the dawn of a new age.

The joyous American pet owner held the clones of her beloved terrier, Booger, at a press conference Tuesday in South Korea. She's the inaugural customer of RNL Bio, a company that teamed up with Seoul National University, which gave us the world's first cloned dog emerged in 2005.

"It's a miracle," McKinney told reporters. But might a world filled with duplicate dogs and copycats be more rightfully called a Sci-Fi nightmare?

For those of you who favor traditional parenthood (and animal husbandry), please note that the pups were nursed by two surrogate bitches, both mixed breed dogs.

Woman face jail for stealing ex's dog

A Polish woman who couldn't bear being separated from her ex's dog could face up to five years behind bars for trying to steal the animal.

Beata Wolotka, 36, of Olsztyn, had begged her former partner to let her take the golden retriever for walks every now and again when they decided to split up.

He agreed. But when she failed to bring the dog back after taking him out for a stroll, the owner reported her to the police.

A police spokesman said: "The lady told us that she had grown extremely fond of the dog during her relationship with her ex and was very happy when he agreed to let her walk it.

"But she said she could no longer bear to be apart from it. She is distraught when she is not with it.

"It is hard to tell whether in her previous relationship she was more fond of the dog or her male partner."Dog News on the web

Animals have Personalities also

We know our siblings and in-laws have personalities — sometimes to a fault. But science recently has revealed that such individual differences are widespread in the animal kingdom, even reaching to spiders, birds, mice, squid, rats and pigs.

Now a new mathematical model helps to explain how and why such animal temperaments develop over time.

The model explains a central question of both animal and human personality — why certain individuals are more rigid or flexible than others, and why some change their behavior in response to changes in their environment while others do not.

The field of animal-personality study is starting to gain some substance and credibility, said University of Texas psychologist Sam Gosling, who does research in this field.

"When I started doing this, like 10 years ago, things were really different. I remember people thought it was anthropomorphic [to use the term animal personality]," said Gosling, who was not involved in the recent study.

Prestigious scientific journals are publishing research articles explicitly on the topic of animal personality, he said.

"I think it does reflect a new sense of respect in the field and I think it's opening up all kinds of important opportunities and allowing us to test questions we simply couldn't test without animal studies," Gosling said.

Individuals coexist
The researchers also found animal personalities tend to persist. That's because, as the adage goes, practice makes perfect. Individuals who are responsive gain experience, so it behooves them to continue such behavior in the future.

"Individuals that have been responsive before have a slight advantage in collecting or interpreting environmental cues," Weissing told LiveScience. "This is a plausible assumption, since the performance of individuals generally improves with the experience they have."
Similar personality types also exist in humans. "Some humans behave rather routine, in a rigid way. And others behave in a rather flexible way," Weissing said. "The first type is rather traditional, conservative, always following the trodden path of the past, whereas the other type is more interested in change, interested in the environment, always sampling the environment."

While the model simulations didn't directly analyze human behavior, Weissing said there is a crossover between non-human animals and the rest of the animal kingdom.

Chocalates can kill your Dogs

If anyone has told that chocolate can pose a health risk for dogs, it is a fact as it can sometime be very poisonous too. Chocolate is known for its caffeine and Theobromine content in it which can be very toxic to the dogs on consuming it. Even though those contents are seen in all kinds of chocolates, they are seen more in dark chocolate varieties. When a dog consumes chocolate either in moderate amounts or in large quantities, it might result in nausea, accelerated heart beat, accelerated breathing otherwise known as hyperventilating and vomiting. Even very small quantities of chocolates given over a period of time to the dogs can cause delirious effects to the organs of the body such as liver.

A dog that has been affected seriously can experience seizures and to a greater extent leading towards its death. Since dogs and cats have different digestive systems as they are carnivores by nature unlike the human beings, it is advised that they are not fed with chocolates even in moderate quantities.

The substances in chocolates such as the theobromine, theophyline and caffeine belong to the group call methylxanthine alkaloids that they may not be digested or metabolized by dogs in an effective manner. When chocolate is consumed by dogs, those substances are known to stay in the blood stream of the dogs for even up to 20 hours that the dogs might experience hallucinations, epileptic seizures, racy heartbeats, internal bleeding and also death. If some one thinks that the dogs might die only if they consume huge quantities of chocolate, he is wrong as one chocolate bar is enough to cause excessive illness leading to death in dogs.

The owners of the dogs or any guest who visit the house having dogs are not advised to treat the animal with chocolates assuming that it might not harm them. This is even applicable to other pets in the household. When a dog accidentally consumes chocolate, they should be taken to the veterinarian immediately to avoid any serious problems to the animal. They are usually induced to vomit the chocolate they have consumed to avoid any further complications. Even recipes containing chocolates should not be given to the dogs.

Please spread this message to all to help prevent our loving pets falling victims to poison due to chocolates. Dog and Chocolate Info says to spread the word..

Care for your Senior Dog better food and Veterinary medicine

Our senior dogs are living longer and healthier lives due to better nutrition, owner care and advances in veterinary medicine. Many toy breeds have a life expectancy well into their late teens or early twenties. Many larger breeds have doubled their life spans in the past few decades. What is “old” for a dog? Probably the best definition is the last 25% of your dog’s life. If your small dog is expected to live 16 years then she would become a senior at 12 years of age but if your large dog had a life expectancy of 10 years then he could be classed as “old” at 7.5 years.
Our aging dogs have been our loving companions for many years and we have learned to appreciate their good, or at least predictable, behavior and calm demeanor. However you may have started to notice changes in your dog’s appearance, activity level and disposition. Dogs are sensory creatures and as they age you may notice their senses start to fade. You may have to compensate for and provide adaptive solutions to resolve their sensory problems.
Canine vision can become impaired with age. Certain eye problems like cataracts, glaucoma and dry eye (decreased tear production) will become more prevalent. You may notice hearing loss symptoms when your dog no longer comes when called or startles easily. You will have to adapt and train your pet to recognize hand signals. Declining taste sensitivity or dental disease may result in your dog refusing his meals. You may have to adapt by warming the meal to improve its smell and taste. Your dog’s ability to discriminate between scents and odors may decrease with age and they will have to adapt with one of their other senses to compensate.
Apart from the dulling of your dog’s senses you may notice your dog isn’t as eager to go for walks and you adapt by making the walks shorter. You may also notice that your dog requires more frequent urination and you cut down on his water intake late at night to avoid being woken to let your dog out in the middle of the night. If you have a toy or small dog you may train your pet to use an indoor cat litter box. Similarly you can adapt to a dog with arthritis by providing steps for him to get up onto his favorite couch and minimize problems by slimming your pooch down through diet and exercise.
