Who Needs Underdog?

Yeah, Underdog is going to get all the press for weeks to come, but it’s the every day dog heroes that should be highlighted.

…[the]dog saved the lives of two adults and four children before dawn Friday when their house caught fire and the blaze spread to another home.

“The dog is the hero here,” Northwest Fire/Rescue Department spokeswoman Katherine Heiden said.

I think I need to put a counter on this web page to show all the lives canines save. Let’s start now…6 humans, 1 dog (a chihuahua) and 1 cat. Hmmm…I guess the tally should be 6 humans and 2 cats.

Mommie Dearest

…and the mommy of the year award goes to …

She gave birth to four pups at Shanhuba, which has become an island in the Changjiang River due to the heavy rains this summer.

Huahua swims 1.2 km to the island every day to nurse her four babies. Then she returns to the Changjiang River, following the flow of the water, to swim another 1.1 km to another part of the city to feed herself.

Each day Huahua does the whole journey twice, once in the morning, around 7 am, and again at 7 pm, at which point she stays with her pups on the island and returns to the city the next morning.

Huang Pingren, a pensioner who swims to the island everyday, says he discovered the amazing dog a few weeks ago.

“I was resting on the island, and found the unprotected litter of dogs. Then in the evening, around 7 pm, I saw a dog swimming to the bank and then running to the newborns.”

I wonder whether she’d be willing to swim across the Pacific and walk across America to feed me? She’s probably too lazy to do that.

Foul Ball

Hmmm…my guess is that it probably tasted like chicken …

Fiscal depute Mhairi Morrison said of the victim: “The dog bit him in the groin. There was a two-and-a-half inch cut to his testicle.”

Stuart’s solicitor Tony Burgess said: “He had been out walking the dog. He had simply been standing with the dog when the victim briskly walked past. The dog took flight and bit him.

Great Danes Are Cowards

When you hear people talking about Great Danes you’d think they were the greatest thing since sliced bacon strips. The following story shows you that maybe they’re not so great after all.

A Memphis, Tenn., man is in critical condition Wednesday after his dog shot him in the back.

Police say King George, a 150-pound Great Dane, accidentally knocked a .22-caliber pistol off his owner’s end table around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday. The gun went off, hitting his 21-year-old owner in the back…

If it were me I would have challenged the owner to a duel rather than shooting him in the back like a cowardly dane.
