Amazing video of dog walking on front legs because back legs are paralyzed



Trixie the Chihuahua walks on her two front legs because the back ones are paralyzed from an old injury.

She was brought into the shelter in Fort Myers after animal services got a call that she'd caused a traffic crash because drivers got distracted when they saw Trixie trotting along the road on her front legs.

They are having a hard time finding her a permanent home, because she can't be around small children, other pets, and needs someone to stay home with her during the day.

We're hoping that now with the publicity Trixie will find a loving forever home.

And from a poll of hospice staff -- The most common wish among dying patients is to see a favorite pet or animal

Pet quote - It seems to me of great importance to teach children respect for life. Towards this end, experiments on living animals in classrooms should be stopped. To encourage cruelty in the name of science can only destroy the finer emotions of affection and sympathy, and breed an unfeeling callousness in the young towards suffering in all living creatures.
— Eleanor Roosevelt

Harry Potter dog too famous to be adopted

Rescue organization concerned of adoption for wrong reasons

A few weeks ago we wrote about Berry,  the Harry Potter dog that went from movie star to homeless when his stuntman owner could no longer take care of him.

A representative from the German Shepherd Dog Rescue in the UK said that they will not let anyone adopt Berry until the some of the publicity surrounding the “Harry Potter” films goes down significantly. The charity is concerned that people will just want to adopt Berry for his star power  and not because they actually want him for friendship and companionship.

The representative said they are busy looking into people who are interested in adopting Berry and will then decide which potential owner is right for him.

Hopefully someone will adopt Berry and give him a good home because they love him, not because he’s a superstar.

Starving dog makes desperate jump from apartment

Jumping from third-story apartment in desperate attempt to find food


A starving dog left in an abandoned apartment for two months, jumped from a third-story window in a desperate attempt to find food. Amazingly the dog survived the fall and helped rescue a puppy still locked inside.

Abandoned by their owners in a New Bedford, MA apartment for nearly two months, emaciated Miracle made a courageous leap for help by diving out of a third story window. Incredibly at that exact moment, a police officer pulled to the curb outside the residence to stop a car. The officer looked up and saw the painfully thin dog jump.

Humane Society will not release dog to rightful owner

 Owners need to adopt their own dog after 5 days at shelter


After their Beagle pup ran away about two weeks ago, James and Angela McFarland were overjoyed to discover he was safe and sound at the Humane Society of Parkersburg, but that relief soon turned to frustration after humane society officials would not return the dog.

After their two little Beagle pups escaped their 200 acre farm, they looked everywhere. After only one returned home they were happy to see that the other one  was on the list of the local humane society.

We contacted them, but even though he is registered and licensed to us, they won't give us back our dog," Angela told Wood County commissioners Monday.

First TV commercial aimed at dogs

 This dog food commercial is really "for the dogs"


The Swiss food giant Nestle released a statement saying that it has  "created the first-ever television commercial especially for dogs." And when they say "commercial especially for dogs," they apparently mean it.

According to the report, the TV spot, which is going to be screened on Austrian television, is going to feature sounds that can be picked up by dogs, including a squeak similar to a chew toy, and a high frequency tone that dogs can hear.

The high frequency tone is barely perceptible to the human ear, but grabs the attention of dogs.

We thought this idea might be a bit far out--but who knows, it could be the next big marketing craze!
