The heaving mass of fox hounds would intimidate even the biggest stag.

The pack immediately accepted the lost fallow deer when they found him shivering by the Thompsons' front gate just... [Read More]

Canine arousal can manifest itself as puppy rushes. (Provided by Marin Humane Society)CHILDREN ARE playing in a playground. As the decibel level rises, parents and caregivers go on the alert. They know that pretty soon a child will start to cry and an adult will have to come to the rescue. The problem isn't that child - or one of the others - but the energy level of play. Children do not necessarily know how... [Read More]

The Weimaraner was prancing at the end of her leash as her owner walked her along the waterfront park. The sleek gray dog swiveled her head from side to side as she took in all the sights.
A woman and her three well-behaved children approached.

Her stomping grounds spanned from the Bojangles' on Herritage Street, the Food Lion, the Burger King and the Wendy's in her search for food. She eventually made her home in a thicket behind the K-Mart on Queen Street.
Still, the little reddish-brown dog's story is one about a community coming together without provocation... [Read More]

"It was, like, over my head and I couldn't touch," he said.
