SIMI VALLEY (CBSLA) — Pet owners are being warned to be on alert Thursday after a mountain lion killed one dog and attacked another in Simi Valley. A miniature schnauzer was killed early Thursday by the mountain lion, which was first spotted Wednesday night by another family whose dog was also attacked. One man, who was not identified, said his sister had gotten up early because her dog Pumbaa was barking and let him out – not knowing about the mountain lion attack the night before. “She opened the door, and I think she went out first, and she saw the mountain lion,” he said. “Her dog charged underneath her legs towards the mountain lion and the mountain lion snapped it right off.” He said his sister jumped on the mountain lion to try and pry its jaws open to save her dog, but was unsuccessful. The dog had been thought of as family, and his daughter is distraught over the loss. The mountain lion had first been reported to authorities at about 10 p.m. … [Read more...] about Mountain Lion Kills Dog, Attacks Another In Simi Valley

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Animal rescuers are trying to care for a dog that was found alone in Wilkinsburg, suffering from severe mange and infections. The Humane Animal Rescue shared multiple photos of an 8-month-old dog they have named “Eitan.” Humane Animal Rescue says Eitan was found near the Turner Elementary School in Wilkinsburg Tuesday evening. The rescue’s vets say Eitan is suffering from “severe demodectic mange with secondary infections on his legs, abdomen, neck and face.” His skin is so bad, the Humane Animal Rescue blurred out some of his underbelly as to not show the graphic extent of his injuries. They say they are working hard to keep Eitan as comfortable as possible as he will continue to be under intensive medical care. Veterinarians estimate the dog’s medical bill could total upwards of $10,000. Anyone with information about Eitan is asked to call investigators at Humane Investigations Department at 412-345-7300 ext. 245. … [Read more...] about Humane Animal Rescue Works To Save Dog With Mange, Severe Skin Infections Found In Wilkinsburg

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — As record cases of influenza sweep across New York and the East Coast, it’s not only humans getting sick. Man’s best friend can catch the flu too. “Some dogs get deeper respiratory infection get fever, inappetince, not eating — and in rare cases, death,” said Dr. Richazrd Goldstein, chief medical officer at the Animal Medical Center. Canine influenza is most prevalent here during summer months, but can happen any time of year due to dog-to-dog contact. It’s unlikely people need to worry, but transmission is not impossible. “An individual person can get dog flu or bird flu, but it won’t transmit person to person,” said Goldstein. Part of the increase in infections has to do with weather displacing animals up north. “(There was) a huge influx of dogs from Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico – all those dogs adding stress to the system,” said Goldstein. Another factor showing an increase in … [Read more...] about Flu Spreading Among Dogs, Humans May Be Vulnerable

Home Insync Pulse Pulse oi-Syeda Farah By Syeda Farah Noor on August 21, 2018 Dogs are known to be man's best friend. In many ways they have proved that they can be best friends. However, after watching this clip, we firmly believe that a dog is also a dog's best friend. The video reveals that even though dogs cannot express their emotions verbally, dogs still worry and know how to communicate. In one viral video, we see a Boxer named Archie stand above Jack, his brother by conviction, as he lay with his back on the floor and pretended to be dead. Are you wondering why? Well, that is because Jack is the older brother and, according to Sam, the owner, among the two dogs Jack has learned how to trick his baby brother off - by playing dead, and he does this very convincingly. As seen in the video, Jack's act of playing dead is so perfect, that big pup Archie doesn't know how to cope with this situation, as he sees his best friend lying seemingly lifeless on the floor. Cute … [Read more...] about Video Of Dog Playing Dead Is Funny As His Best Buddy Freaks Out

Recently, Devoleena Bhattacharjee exited Bigg Boss 13 house due to her back injury. Her inmate Dalljiet Kaur, who was evicted, visited Devoleena. During her visit, the duo took pictures and Devoleena had even shared a video in which she was seen comparing her pet dog Angel to Shehnaz Gill and labelling both (the pet and Sana) as attention seekers. This didn't go down well with a few Bigg Boss fans who trolled both Devoleena and Dalljiet. Devoleena Compares Shehnaz To Her Pet Dog Angel For the uninitiated, in the video, Devoleena was heard saying that her pet behaves in a similar way as Shehnaz, when it doesn't get attention. Apparently, Dalljiet was not there when the video was posted, but yet she was targeted. As soon as Dalljiet got to know that they (she and Devo) were trolled, she responded to the haters like a boss.

BREA (CBSLA) — A small dog is fighting for her life Thursday after being rescued from a burning home by firefighters in Brea. The 6-year-old poodle mix named Jasmine stayed at an animal hospital overnight after firefighters made a heroic effort to find her in the middle of the flames and smoke, then resuscitate her with oxygen. “She needs some kind of miraculous intervention, because she’s in grave danger,” Pastor Doug Green, Jasmine’s owner, said. “She inhaled lots of fumes.” Green, who happens to be the chaplain for the Brea Police Department, was the one in need of help Wednesday when a fire broke out at his home. He said he was unable to get past the flames and smoke to rescue Jasmine himself. “She was in my daughter’s room, obviously trapped back there,” he said. “There was nothing we could do about it. We had to wait for the fire department to rescue her.” As soon as firefighters arrived, Green said he told … [Read more...] about WATCH: Firefighters Rescue Dog From Burning Home In Brea

It's been long acknowledged that dogs resemble their owners - but what about dogs revealing their owner's social position? Etiquette expert William Hanson has revealed the rather surprising class indicators that can be found in everything from a beloved pooch's breed to their collar. The finest breeds are Labradors and of course the Queen's beloved corgis, but other types of dogs will put you surprisingly low on the social scale. So what does your dog say about your social class?   Etiquette expert William Hanson says a person's dog says a lot about their social class. For example, Meghan Markle's beagle Guy will be a welcome addition to the royal family when she marries Prince Harry in May Breeds As with humans, there is a social hierarchy when it comes to the dog world, too. At the top of the social scale are Labradors, particularly black ones (yellow ones don't have the same cachet). Smart breeds also include Jack Russells, terriers, King Charles spaniels, Springer … [Read more...] about Is your DOG making you look common?
