Dog News

On Oct. 30, 2014, Nathan Binnie, a garbage collector from New Stanton, Pa., was working outside a home on Yellow Pine Lane when he discovered an emaciated female dog inside a garbage can. Thanks to his discovery, the “skin-and-bones” dog was saved.

“It was just one of those cans I didn’t pick up and just throw in my truck,” said Binnie. “You could see every bone. [The dog was] shivering and shaking. It was just horrific.”

On October 21, 2014, a woman from Mallorca, Spain, was walking her dog around 10 p.m. near the Banyalbufar cliffs when her dog slipped and fell over a cliff. The pet owner called after her dog and searched the area hoping she would find him alive, but in the darkness of the night, the woman did not find her pet nor did she hear him bark. The dog owner gave up and thought she had forever lost her best friend.

Doko, a small dog originally from Chile, has quite a tale to tell after he was lost during transport in a Spanish airport.

For Remberto Latorre, Doko’s owner, the five days his dog was lost in Madrid, were the longest days of his life.

Latorre and Doko temporarily lived in Hungary while the dog owner finished his Masters degree. Latorre’s parents traveled from Chile to Hungary to pick up the pet and bring him back home, but when they arrived in Madrid on October 19, 2014, Doko somehow escaped his travel crate and got lost in Spain’s capital.

Most stray dogs get scooped off the streets and find forever homes after they are found injured and in great need. Some have such sweet demeanors that their forever homes are found when the pets win over the hearts of an animal lovers. Rarely do we hear anyone say that they want to offer a stray dog a forever home after the dog has bit them. Well, in Brazil, a soccer player decided to do just that after a stray dog interrupted their professional match and bit the player in mid game.

Happy Howloween!  These puppies are all dressed up for the big day.  Well, some of them might just be little dogs, but they’re still super cute!

A little Chi-weenie named Trixxie had her life saved when Happy, the neighbor’s Rottweiler, prevented her from becoming a coyote’s breakfast.

Early one morning back in 2010, Trixxie was put out on a chain to take care of her business while her owner did the same inside.  She was only out there for a few minutes when a coyote ambushed her.  The chain prevented the coyote from running off with her in his mouth.
