Dog Dubbed Star Pupil Goes On The Attack

A Bull Mastiff named Henry, who was the “star pupil” of a dog training TV show in West Bromwich, England lost that distinction when he savagely attacked a dachshund named Bruno.

Henry was being filmed for a follow up to his success on the BBC “Three show Dog Borstal.” Henry saw Bruno in the audience, grabbed him by the neck and shook him like a ragdoll. Bruno had to have 16 stitches for the deep gashes that were inflicted.

The crew managed to fend off Henry and his owner, Karen Reid was ordered to pay £250 compensation and keep her dog muzzled in public.

Speaking of Mastiffs…

A man bit off more than he could chew when he tried to steal 2 Thibetan mastiffs in Tianjin, China after he found out that they were very valuable. Tibetan mastiffs are considered one of the oldest, rarest and fiercest dog breeds and were first tamed by humans 6,000 years ago.

The man tried to lure the 2 dogs with meat - which they ignored. They had him cornered in their backyard for 4 hours before the dog’s owner found the man cowering up against a brick wall.

Anyone who knows what a Mastiff is knows that they are huge dogs! How he expected to carry out two dogs that may’ve outweighed him is beyond me. He’s lucky the dog’s didn’t tear him apart!

The mayor of Alice, Texas, Grace Saenz-Lopez has resigned because of a scandal. She told the neighbor that her dog Puddles had died, but the mayor actually stole the Shih Tzu dog - who she renamed “Panchito”.  She claims her actions were in the dog’s best interest. See what you think.

Dog Poop Leads Cops To Suspect

An 18 year old drunk man driving his Camaro down the wrong side of the road in Durham, NC drove his car into a fence. The yard housed 4 dogs. So when the drunk man ran off, he stepped in dog shi* - er poop. ;)

The cops saw the shoe print in the pile & followed a stinky trail down the road. They saw a van swerving toward them & had the driver get out. They smelled alcohol on his breath & saw dog poop on his shoes.

The young man was charged with driving while impaired, drinking underage and released on $1,500 bail. He could not be reached for comment.

Dog Gets Drunk On Bread

A yellow Labrador Retriever in Austria named Bingo ended up getting drunk not on alcohol, but on bread!

Bingo’s owner wondered why his dog was staggering & barely able to stay on its feet. He checked his liquor cabinet & nothing was missing. So he took Bingo to the veterinarian who found he had a blood-alcohol level of 1.6 per mille which, if he weren’t a dog, would have also put him well past Austria’s legal driving limit of 0.5 per mille.

Turns out Bingo ate a half a kilo (1 lb.) of freshly prepared bread dough while it was sitting out to rise.

The yeast in the bread actually fermented in Bingo’s stomach causing the dog to get drunk.

Millionaire Dog Goes Into Hiding

Leona Helmsley’s dog Trouble is now in hiding due to kidnapping & extortion threats as a result of the $12 million inheritance left to her.

The threats forced concerned friends to whisk her away on a private jet under a new identity and take her into hiding. Her location is a closely guarded secret but she is reportedly living somewhere in Florida under 24-hour guard.

Leona Helmsley’s Dog Getting Death Threats

It’s no surprise that when hotel magnate Leona Helmsley died last August & left $12 million to her Maltese dog, that her dog Trouble might be a target of lunatics. The dog has received 20-30 death & kidnapping threats. Primarily from people who hated Leona Helmsley (dubbed the Queen of Mean) &/or are hoping to cash in on some of the loot the dog inherited.

Dog Groomer Sentenced To Jail For Killing Dog

A Baltimore, MD dog groomer claims she “snapped” & severely injured Rajah the miniature poodle she was grooming. Rajah ended up dying from his injuries. And this isn’t the first dog she has injured.

The groomer had surgery in 2004 for a cerebral hemorrhage, suffers from occasional seizures and was also diagnosed with a panic disorder. What that has to do with “snapping” on a dog is beyond me. Of course, the judge has required her to give up her grooming license.

Is The World Ready For A Dog Washing Machine?

In France, a dog groomer has come up with a new way of washing dogs. It’s a dog washing machine! The dog is put into the machine & it is washed and dried in just 4 minutes. It seems like it may be a little scary to me…but then again, it’s sort of like a shower.

Woman Serves Pet Dog To Guests

A woman in the Phillipines cooked her pet dog and served it to her dinner guests. Only after 30 of the guests complained of severe stomach pains and weakness about an hour later did the “hostess” reveal that the dog had gone rabid and had been killed. So the local butcher (I mean hostess) decided to cook her dog and feast on it.

So not only did her guests eat rabid dog, but they also may be getting painful rabies shots. The health officials are not sure that rabies can in fact be contracted by just eating the meat - usually it’s from eating the brain of the infected animal. However it can also be transmitted through scratches, abrasions, open wounds or mucous membranes. The local health office was still waiting for the results of laboratory tests conducted on patients.

People will think twice about eating at her house again!

Ethiopia Plans To Mark Third Millennium With Dog Killings

Ethiopia is about to have their third milleninnium celebration on Sept. 12 with a huge concert expected to draw hundreds of thousands of partygoers.

Since attention will be focused on the country, it is doing many things to spruce up its image - including banning begging (there are over 90,000 beggars) and poisoning any stray dogs (Ethiopia is another country that has a stray dog problem).

PETA has volunteered to assist in “humane euthanasia” instead of the planned lacing of meat with strychnine - a powerful poison that causes pain and convulsions before death by asphyxiation.
