Dogs in the News

Yesterday, there were two strange new stories about dogs, and today there was a third.

In a park in New York City, a chihuahua was snatched up by a hawk, who apparently mistook it for a rat.  (The city had brought in 5 brown hawks in order to help control the sprawling rat population.)  But the tiny dog was on a leash, and it’s owner was able to get it back from the bird.  How embarrassing.  The moral of the story: get a real dog.  As in, one that grows to be bigger than a rat.  And that can defend itself against birds.

Then, in St. Louis, an animal center was euthanizing a few unwanted/unclaimed dogs, as they do every day.  They put them into a gas chamber and fill it with carbon monoxide.  But when they opened the door afterwards, one dog stood with its tail wagging amongst the bodies of the other dogs who’d given up.

Finally, this morning on Fox News, there was a story about a dog who got hit by a car, and then walked to the vet.  I haven’t yet found a link to that one.
