Dog News

The idea came from a dog sitting company run out of Maybee, Michigan.  They posted this video to their Facebook, and the fans went wild.  Now it seems puppy pool parties are popping up all over social media websites, complete with dogs beating the summer heat.

By now you’ve probably seen dozens of friends and celebrities taking the ice bucket challenge to help raise money for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. (Many are soaking themselves AND donating, which is what’s important.)  So far over $30 million has been raised this way, and these dogs are doing their part!

On August 15, 2014, firefighters from Contra Costa County in California, rescued a female Pit Bull trapped in a holding basin at the West County Wastewater District treatment plant.

A call came in at 10:30 a.m. from a plant employee reporting the pet in distress. Firefighters were dispatched to the plant located on Garden Tract Road, and a rescue mission was set in motion.

It is hard to believe that someone would throw away a dog and the pet’s belongings in the trash, as if the four-legged friend was a useless piece of furniture. In Palma de Mallorca, Spain, someone did just that. A male black dog, believed to be a Yorkshire mix, was found inside a garbage container with his bed and all.
