Shot Dog Bites Off Gunman’s Nose

Wow, I admire this Bernese Mountain Dog’s focus. Some drunk creep in Bavaria got what he deserved—his nose was bitten off by the the dog he shot. The gunman called police because he was bleeding profusely. The dog had the bullet removed and survived. Police couldn’t find the jerk’s nose and think the dog ate it.

Karen Pryor On Good Morning America

Karen Pryor will be on GMA Tuesday the 16th between 8:30am-9am demonstrating clicker training and promoting her new book, Reaching The Animal Mind.

Clicker Training is a force-free, non-coercive way to train your pets (cats too). In the training stage, it relies on using a “clicker” to specifically mark the behavior you want—sit, down, etc. Karen Pryor was an early adopter of clicker training with pets and has popularized it with a number of excellent books.

Puppy Survives Being Flushed Down The Loo

Dyno, a 1 week old Cocker Spaniel puppy, was rescued from a sewage pipe after accidentally being flushed down a toilet in England. How does a puppy get accidentally flushed? It can happen when a 4 yr. old child has unsupervised access to a puppy and tries to give it a bath. The local plumbing company was critical in the rescue using a camera to locate the puppy 20 yards from the house. They then prodded the soggy pup down the pipe to a manhole where he was pulled the safety. Little Dyno was named after the plumbing company, Dyno Rod.
