Fort Worth senior living resident searches storm sewer for 3 hours to save neighbor’s dog

The story is almost too fantastical to believe.

A 65-year-old cancer survivor who is recovering from spinal surgery saved her elderly neighbor’s blind and deaf dog from a storm sewer.

... “I thought there was no way we’re going to find this dog,” Gilmore said. “Only an idiot would do this. If I fall, I’m dead.”

I'm not so sure that I'd let that run across the backs of sheep in a run like real sheep dogs do. :-O

Cheers.

Meet The Oldest Golden Retriever: 20-Year-Old Augie
There are many accounts of 17 or 18-year-old goldens, and even a few stories about 19-year-old goldens, but Augie is the first golden retriever to ever reach the big two-oh.

Augie is a very special girl, and she’s definitely not the norm.

Most golden retrievers live to about 10-12 years old.

Of course, many goldens live to 13, 14, or 15 years old, and, unfortunately, many live shorter than the average.

Watch Genius Dog Talk to His Owner in English Using a Sound Board With Dozens of Spoken Phrases
Forget about commands like “roll over” and “play dead”—this genius dog has learned to communicate with his owners using a sound board with 45 different English phrases.

The clever sheepadoodle named Bunny was recently filmed using the sound board to say things like “play,” “scritches,” and even “I love you, Mom.”

Our dog Tosca learnt the word "out" without any training at all. Every time we mentioned the word, even not in same room as her, we could hear paws pad on the floor coming to us when we mentioned "out":)

Little Boy with Cleft Lip Finds Perfect Match at Shelter: Puppy with Cleft Lip
.... “To see him have something in common with a puppy means a lot ’cause he can grow up and understand that him and his puppy both have something that they can share in common.”

The shelter realized what a match made in heaven this was and shared an absolutely adorable set of photos to its Facebook page last week.

Headline from my local "crime reports section" of today's newspaper ... Dog shoots Plano man in the leg (yes, you read that right)

When the man picked up his dog, its paw became lodged in the gun’s trigger and set it off, police say.

... The incident led Plano police to issue tips for the safe and responsible use of firearms.

Robot dogs start security patrols at US military base
... Although the computerized quadrupeds resemble canines, the semi-autonomous machines will not replace working military dogs on the base, the military explained. In fact, the robodogs will be used to aid patrol operations, enabling the bases's "defenders" to instead focus on "security actions that require a physical presence."

"These robot dogs will be used as a force multiplier for enhanced situational awareness by patrolling areas that aren't desirable for human beings and vehicles," Criss said

Popular dog flea collar Seresto is causing problems for both dogs and some owners.
It has not been recalled yet, but you might want to reconsider if you are using it.

Congress seeks recall of popular Seresto flea collars possibly linked to pet deaths.

Meow!!
