Bonded Dogs Reunite After Months Apart
It might sound crazy, but when bonded dogs enter an animal shelter, one of the first tasks is to begin their separation process. The chance that they will be adopted together is low, so it’s best for both animals to learn to live without each other as soon as possible. The thought of dog friends being pulled apart is absolutely devastating to us, but do dogs really care? After a few weeks or months they probably forget all about their old pal, right?
Not according to Abby and Otto. The duo was separated at a shelter and adopted to different owners, but their story doesn’t end there. The bizarre coincidences that brought them back together leave no doubt that these two were meant to be together.

Dog accidentally runs US half-marathon, finishes in an impressive seventh place
Lost Dogs Who Finally Found Their Way Home
Losing a dog can be devastating. Those loveable troublemakers sometimes just can’t help themselves when they find an opportunity to explore or follow a scent, and their instincts overwhelm their minimally present common sense.
If you have a dog that just has to follow his nose every once in a while, make sure you’ve taken steps to ensure his safe return. A sturdy collar with tags indicating his medical status and also his name and contact info will let people know how to reach his person when they find him. The collar will also let them know this is someone’s loved pet. But collars aren’t foolproof, so make sure to get your dog microchipped by your veterinarian. This small device placed under your dog’s skin can’t fall off and can be read by any shelter or vet using a special scanner.

This Farmer Told the Little Boy Not to Buy the Disabled Dog. The Boys Reply? Priceless.
The farmer said, He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.…He wasn’t expecting the little boy to come back with this.
There once was a farmer who had some puppies he needed to sell, so he painted a sign advertising his 4 pups and staked it near the edge of his yard. As we went to nail the sign to the last post, he felt atug on his overalls.
He looked down into the beaming eyes of a little boy wearing abig smile.
Mister, he said, I want to buy one of your puppies.
Well, said the farmer, these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.
The boy hunghis head for a moment. Then, he reached deep down into his pocket, pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.Ivegot thirty-nine cents, he said. “Is that enough to take a look?
Sure, said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle and called out Dolly. Here Dolly!
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy’s eyes danced with delight.
But as the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticedsomething else making a stirinside the doghouse.
Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller.
Down the ramp it slid. Then in a awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up
I want that one, the little boy said, pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boys side and said, Son, you dont want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. As he did so,he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially-made shoe.
Looking back up at the farmer, he said, You see sir, I dont run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.
With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.
How much? asked the little boy.
No charge, answered the farmer, Theres no charge for love.

Weird Girl Explains Why Women Should Have Sex With Dogs
Do you remember in sex education when the teacher was informing you about how to practice safe sex to avoid pregnancy or STDs, and then said if you really want to be safe then the best thing to do is just have sex with your dog? No, nor do I, but this seems to be the screwed up advice that this girl is offering.
It has to be fake, right? Surely this girl is tolling us. We hope so, but it’s kind of hard to tell. She nonchalantly reels of the ten reasons why you should have sex with a caninewhilst giggling and stroking her dog.
Reasons include it being legal in some states, it’s convenient, it’s safe, and it’s been happening for hundreds of years. To top it all of she says that dogs don’t complain. Seriously, she has to be trolling us.
Someone please buy her a vibrator for Christmas.

6 Things You Learn Training, And Owning, Service Dogs
If you’re old, sick, or disabled, we have the perfect solution for you: Get a dog! Of course, that’s our solution for every problem, but an educated service dog might work especially well in your case. Humans have been breeding dogs for thousands of years for every dumbshit task we no longer feel like doing ourselves, but it wasn’t until the past century that we began training them to help people with physical or mental disabilities who can’t manage their daily lives alone.
We sat down with a few people who train service dogs, as well as a few who own service dogs and rely on them every day. As usual, what we discovered is more interesting — and more ridiculous — than we would have guessed …
#6. You Can Bring Your Pet Anywhere — If You Call It A Service Animal
Service dogs are allowed to go places that normally do not allow animals, such as planes, restaurants, the movie theater, and Discovery Zone. They’re allowed this special privilege because they’ve been trained and certified as official helper animals. But, let’s say you want to bring your bulldog or condor or whatever into the movie theater with you — how do you go about getting them certified as helper animals? Well, here’s how to do it: 1) Get a sheet of paper; 2) write “THIS IS A SERVICE DOG” on it in crayon. Your new document means exactly as much as any service dog certificate.
Yeah, “certifications” can be purchased online for a fee, even if your dog has no training whatsoever. As a result, when you see someone with a supposed service animal, it might be specially trained to help them with a legitimate disorder. It might be an “emotional support animal” for a bullshit problem they made up. Or, it might be any random pet because the owner may be an asshole. And that majorly pisses off people such as Colin Wong, who genuinely needs his guide dog every time he leaves the house.
Colin recalls going to a department store one time with his dog, Wednesday, whom he got from Guide Dogs for the Blind, and getting attacked by another dog patrolling the aisles. Stories of guide dogs getting mauled by other dogs are disturbingly common, because of people like the owner of the dog who attacked Wednesday. That owner insisted it was normal for his “service dog” to attack other dogs all the time. “It’s clearly not your service dog!” countered Colin. “Service dogs are conditioned not to attack other dogs. That’s like day one of service dog school!”
Day two is conditioning them not to set up illegal cock-fighting rings.
Unfortunately, thanks to fraud service dogs, there is some mistrust of all people with service animals, even legitimate ones. Wednesday escapes scrutiny because Colin is clearly blind, as is obvious to anyone who doesn’t share his disability. But let’s next introduce you to Raven Richard-Bordeau, who gets harassed all the time about Dyson, his Mexican hairless dog who accompanies him wherever he goes. Raven has clinically diagnosed depression and anxiety, and doctors recognize his need for a companion animal such as Dyson, but that doesn’t stop store clerks and restaurant hostesses from constantly calling shenanigans on him. They routinely ask him to produce Dyson’s certification papers. Dyson does have a certificate, but Raven doesn’t carry it around on his person everywhere he goes, and you’re legally not allowed to demand to see it.
Although, if you get caught with a fake service animal in the state of Florida, you can be thrown in jail for your dickitry, so maybe bring along the certificate just in case.
“I’m sorry, but that dog looks Kenyan, ma’am.”
#5. Some Service Dogs Can Smell Medical Conditions
Not all service dogs lead people safely through traffic or keep them from having a panic attack in a public place. Dogs have a sense of smell that borders on magic, and various law enforcement agencies have been using them for years to sniff out illegal drugs, bomb-making materials, and unregistered mutants. Sherry Mers, a dog trainer from Colorado, recognized the potential for service dogs to be used to sniff out common fatal allergens such as peanuts. Pretty soon, her dogs were licensed as medical service animals and were accompanying kids to school to sniff out and steer them from any toxic allergens. Except, well, some families claim their service dogs they got can’t spot peanuts at all, so, um, maybe test your pooch out before shelling out the 20 grand to bring one home.
And once they’re out of the packaging, they lose all value.
Other medical service dogs are trained to sniff out things that we didn’t even know had a scent. For example, hypo alert dogs are trained to detect when a diabetic’s blood glucose goes too high or low. “The running theory,” says Raven, “is they can smell or otherwise sense the changes in their person’s sugar levels,” but no one exactly understands what’s going on here. Scientists have tried their own means of measuring blood sugar noninvasively using a breathalyzer, but we haven’t quite hammered out the kinks yet, forcing diabetics to constantly stab themselves with needles in order to test themselves. Yet, medical service dogs can detect blood sugar quicker and more accurately than even our best machines with just their noses. And they alert you to danger by licking you awake, which is a function that most medical devices will not perform.
And then we have dogs such as Patra, a rottweiler/German shepherd mix from Missouri who could sense when her owner is about to have a seizure. She would warn her owner with an urgent nudge behind the knee 15 minutes before an impending seizure (some other seizure dogs are able to sense it hours beforehand). Nobody trains dogs to do this — some of them are just born with the ability.
Seizures suck, but getting a heads up and
licks/nuzzles to help recovery sucks less.
As for the others, well …
#4. Some Dogs Are Too Stupid To Be Service Animals
As with any program that requires hundreds of hours of demanding training, there are some washouts who can’t make the cut. Take Virgil the chocolate poodle, who spent much of 2012 training as an assistance dog for autistic kids. Virgil seemed to do fine in preliminary classes, but then the final exam rolled around, overseen by an administrator flown in from another city and held in a million-square-foot suburban mall on a Saturday afternoon. This is a less-than-ideal set of circumstances for all but the most obedient of dogs — a fact that Virgil emphatically proved by thunderously failing his exam.
The first part of the test, recalls his trainer Francey, consisted of basic commands, and a bunch of kids running around the mall proved much too distracting for Virgil’s concentration. Next came “behavioral obedience,” which consisted of the examiner dropping a scoop of ice cream next to the dog’s tail to see if he could resist eating it, which Virgil could not. Then came the part of the test wherein Virgil had to walk without Francey to see how he handled the separation, while Francey observed from a distance. Virgil responded by taking a shuddering dump on the shiny linoleum floor, which is an immediate disqualification (the vest that service animals wear is supposed to impart on them that it’s not pooping time, and that’s a big reason they’re allowed places other animals aren’t).
He’s still a good boy — just not at that job.
And so the career of Virgil the service dog came to a sudden, irrevocable end. Nowadays, he attacks hair clips and barks at toothbrushes as a D-list YouTube celebrity, which honestly is a better career trajectory than any human being who has shit themselves in public could expect.
Keep in mind, their standards for behavior have to be high because some of these dogs are in charge of saving their owners’ lives. For instance …

Craig Strickland’s Family & Friends Remain Hopeful After His Dog Was Found Safe
This could be a good sign.
On Tuesday, the country crooner’s wife, Helen, took to Twitter to reveal that their dog, Sam, survived the scary situation, writing:
For everyone wanting to know, Sam is fine. He was a brave boy. He wouldn’t leave Chase’s body until the Warden found him.
Helen Strickland (@HelenWisner) December 29, 2015
She also shared a snap of the 29-year-old’s lab. Take a look (below):
Craig’s dog Sam. pic.twitter.com/W09bACtsyy
Helen Strickland (@HelenWisner) December 29, 2015
The brunette beauty first revealed that police found Sam on Monday, but didn’t explain that the pooch was alright, sharing:
Craig’s dog Sam has been found. His boat has been confirmed as being capsized. They are still searching for Craig. Please keep praying.
Helen Strickland (@HelenWisner) December 28, 2015
Sam’s safe return has actually been really encouraging for the Backroad Anthem singer’s loved ones.
Bandmate Toby Freeman explained his optimism to People, saying:
“Craig’s dog being found alive is a very good sign. That’s a piece of hope that we’re actually clinging on to.”
The guitarist confessed that the pup’s survival was surprising because of his age, adding:
“Sam’s an older lab and for him to make it in such harsh conditions it’s just so amazing and we’re clinging on to that.”
The musician continued to say that he believes his friend and frontman could pull through, admitting:
“Anything that Craig put his mind to he could accomplish. He’s so passionate about his wife, his family, the band he had a fire in him for the things he loved.”
And authorities reportedly say that the mission is still a search and rescue, not a search and recover. We hope to hear more good news as the search unfolds.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected during this trying time.

When 2 Dogs Began A Howling Battle, This Baby Couldn’t Resist Joining Right In
Having dogs and babies under the same roof can be an adorably awesome time. Although, sometimes, it can get a bit overwhelming. Take these three troublemakers, for instance.
The two Labradors love getting into howling battles with each other. But, things get even louder (and much, much cuter) when a 5-month-old decides he wants to do battle, as well.
May the best howl WIN!
Sorry, pups. I think the baby won this round due to sheer adorableness.

Scary Footage Shows Dog Being Forced Into Dangerous Water While Filming A Dog’s Purpose!
This is NOT okay.
With just about a week until A Dog’s Purpose‘s theatrical release, new footage has surfaced that is sure to keep animal lovers from seeing the film.
The chilling clip captures an animal trainer shoving a visibly frightened German Shepherd into a pool full of water that was being churned by EIGHT motors.
The pup was so opposed to getting into the recreated river that it clawed at the edge of the pool the entire way in.
What’s even scarier is that the pooch actually went under at one point. And while we don’t know if the script called for the animal to be submerged, we could hear someone repeatedly yell:
“Cut it!”
TMZ is reporting that director Lasse Hallstrm was there for the whole thing, and at least one production staffer was worried about the way the crew was treating the dog.
Both Universal Pictures and Amblin Partners are aware of the video and told the outlet:
“Fostering a safe environment and ensuring the ethical treatment of our animal actors was of the utmost importance to those involved in making this film and we will look into the circumstances surrounding this video.”
Considering five dogs worked on this film, we sure hope so!

We Asked 22 Veterinarians Which WTF Episode They Play For Dogs Right Before They Put Them Down
Twenty-two veterinarians. One question: Which episode of Marc Marons WTF podcast do you play for dogs right before you put them down? Heres what they said.
1. Dr. Susan Jenkins I dont play anything before, during, or after a procedure.
2. Dr. Malcolm Stefanis No, no. Ive never even considered doing something like that.
3. Dr. Harry Isther None.
4. Dr. Meredith Avery I dont even have speakers on the premises.
5. Dr. Steven Greggerson Im not sure I fully understand the question.
6. Dr. Patricia Nolan I dont play anything. I imagine that would just be distracting.
7. Dr. Audrey Rodriguez What?
8. Dr. Jack Wexler Episode 183: Amy Poehler.
9. Dr. Wendy Ableman I wouldnt do something like that during any procedure.
10. Dr. Rita DeBenedetto Ill sometimes play a little music to calm the dog. Its really more for the family, to be honest. But thats it.
11. Dr. Laura Bouvier I only listen to podcasts at home, never in the operating room.
12. Dr. Brenda Courtland Its an early one from before Maron really found his voice as an interviewer, but I have the Dave Attell episode in my operating room playing on loop regardless of whether anyone is in there. When these two surly, gravel-voiced pessimists get together, get ready for some glass-half-empty vitriol. Its not one of the latest episodes offered for free, so I have to be a Howl Premium member to listen to it. But $5 a month is a small price to pay to get two incredible comedians take on all things life. I usually make sure to inject the dogs with the drug slowly so they can hear the whole thing, because the best part is when Attell starts riffing on his hoarder mom at the end.
13. Dr. Ronald Guest I wouldnt think of playing anything like this in my operating room.
14. Dr. Genevieve Adler Im sorry, I dont think I know what youre talking about.
15. Dr. Julia Fontes Ill only play something in the OR if the family requests it, which is pretty rare. Its usually a nice classical piece or soothing forest noises. No ones ever asked for WTF.
16. Dr. Adam Laroche None.
17. Dr. Lilly Chasin I have a playlist of all the WTFs and just put it on random when Im preparing to put a dog down. I find WTF, Marc Maron, and the concept of interviews in general truly wretched, but the seething anger this podcast engenders in me helps me commiserate with the suffering, pathetic dog thats about to die. The one where Marc and Louis C.K., bury the hatchet especially sends me into a white-hot fury. This anger grounds me. I couldnt do my job without it.
18. Dr. John Prull Without a doubt, the Brendon Burns episode. Although the procedure is usually over by the time Maron finishes talking about how he got a severe anxiety attack at IKEA, so it never gets to the interview with one of Australias most inventive comics. I guess Ill never hear that part. Oh well.
19. Dr. Margery Quentin Theres nothing that would compel me to play a podcast during a procedure.
20. Dr. Eliot Gunderson I dont play anything during any procedure.
21. Dr. Sarah Schwartz I used to play Judd Apatow Part One for the dogs, and it would always go really well. Judd really opens up about his lifelong comedy nerdom, his crushing neuroticisms, and how Amy Schumer is one of the most amazing actors hes ever worked with. The dogs were always calm. And then one day, I accidentally played Judd Apatow Part Two during a procedure and immediately knew something was off. The dog I was to put down began spitting right onto the floor. That was bad enough. Then a moment later, stray dogs started pouring in through the door and crashing through the windows. I heard some shuffling in the ceiling, and then stray dogs began tumbling down from there too. They all congregated to spit in this one corner, dozens of them. I dont know if youve ever seen a dog spit, like, really spit on purpose, but it is highly unsightly and extremely loud when even one dog does it. Its disgusting. Now, imagine about 60 of them all hacking up spit in the one corner. Its getting pretty wet in there, and Im yelling at these dogs, but theyre not paying any attention to me. The dogs are very loud, and on the podcast Marc is pressing Judd for a good Seth Rogen story, and the floor is slippery from all that spit, and I completely wipe out in my haste to get these dogs out. I hit my head on a counter and am out cold. When I come to, Im standing up over the first dog I was originally supposed to put down with a syringe full of Telazol hovering above him. There are no other dogs or people in the room. The dog weakly lifts its head up off the table to look at me, and reflected in one eye is Judd Apatow and in the other is Marc Maron. I ran out of the room, and I havent practiced as a veterinarian again. Im now a prominent reporter for big game fishing competitions, and life is pretty good.
22. Dr. Kelsey Zhu I cant think of a scenario where I would ever do this.
