• Family Dog Saves Toddler’s Life

  Joshua Childers may only be three, but, man, does he have stories to tell. The Missouri toddler recently spent three days and two nights alone in the wilderness after he wandered off in the vast forest behind his house. As Joshua is treated in the hospital for hypothermia, bug bites, and scratches, the secrets to his survival are becoming increasingly clear. Read More...

• Family Dog Survives Four Months on Desert Island

  An Australian cattle dog named Sophie has lived through a harrowing experience that has her owners marveling over the powers of adaptability and unconditional love. Last November, Sophie fell overboard while on a family sailing trip off the coast of Australia.

• The New Pregnancy Test: Your Dog

  So you missed the sore boobs and the growing tummy? Maybe forgot about that missing period? If nothing else, your dog getting awfully chummy all of a sudden might clue you in - you're pregnant.

• Obamas Pick a Breed and a Homecoming for First Dog

  The president may jokingly refer to himself as a mutt, but it will be a purebred bounding into the White House on four paws come April.  Michelle Obama has let word get out that the family is looking for a Portuguese water dog - preferrably a rescue (a request the First Family has made several times over) - one of the few hypo-allergenic breeds of dogs that will be acceptable in light of ten-year-old Malia's allergies.  When's it coming home?

• Mystery Solved: Dog Swallowed Fifteen Pacifiers

  In case you ever wondered, no there really is nothing your baby won't share with the dog. Strained peas, Cheerios, dirty diapers . . . and apparently pacifiers too.  A Missouri mom caught her English bulldog licking a pacifier on the floor one day, and she thought to do nothing more than chide the dog. Jennifer Zwart turned away . . . then turned back to realize the pacifier was gone - inside the dog's mouth. Read More...

• Keep Kids From Getting Fat - Get a Dog

  Want to keep your kids from falling victim to the obesity crisis? Australian researchers say get a dog. The study of more than 1,100 kids ages 5 to 12 showed kids with a friendly Fido in the house were in better shape - even if they weren't walking the pooch on a regular basis. If the dogs were anything like mine, it might have more to do with the amount the dog's stealing from their plate. Just saying - my dog gained 11 pounds in the year after my daughter started solids.

• Crafty: Hair of the Dog

  As crafts go, I'm a fairly live-and-let craft kinda gal. There are some hands-on activities that I don't quite understand -- like leather burning -- but can admit that reasonable crafters can agree to disagree. There is only one handicraft that I simply cannot get behind.   Read More...

• Maybe these pit bulls are dangerous

  I'm a dog lover (though not a dog owner), so I'm usually willing to sympathize with people that blame bad owners when their pooch attacks someone. But with so many pit bull attacks, maybe these muscular little k-9's don't make the greatest pets. Are pit bulls the doggy equivalent of a loaded gun? Read More...

• Pit bull attacks one-year-old girl

  A pit bull in Greensboro, NC attacked a one-year-old girl. How does something like this happen? The dog is a pet, and the child went to touch the pooch's puppies; when she did, the dog bit her. The dog is now in an animal shelter for at least 10 days, or "longer if they can't determine if the dog has current vaccinations for rabies." I thought you had to keep records of that sort of thing, but maybe not. The two comments on the site... Read More...
