It figures! The one steady line of work available to us dogs is now possibly endangered because of some overzealous young engineering students at Central Michigan University. They’ve developed a prototype of a robotic guide dog that helps guide blind people, and keeps them from obstacles — two of a guide dog’s primary responsibilities. It [...]
This is a little embarrassing to admit, but dog bites represented one-third of homeowner liability insurance claims last year. That’s a 9 percent increase in the number of claims, costing insurers $387. 2 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. That’s a lot of kibble.
The article states that more than 4.5 million Americans are bitten [...]
A woman in German claims that her Bernese mountain dog, Penny, is 25. If that’s true, she is by far the oldest dog in the world. (Older even than Chanel, who wore that crown until a couple of weeks ago, when she died at 21.) The story was in the Baltimore Sun today, so we [...]

The dog, despite weighing a very breakable 4 1/2 pounds, managed to escape with “just” [...]

Today we remember all the humans who died in the 9-11 attacks eight years ago. And being a dog news website, we wish to honor the dogs who helped search for victims. They are our heroes.
