Dogs in the news

It’s time to catch up with the week’s doggy news!  What’s been happening to our furry friends this week?

• Why it’s important to microchip your dogs – a Dachshund is reunited with his owners after going missing five years ago.
•  Want to know why I recommend getting your purebred puppy from a responsible breeder?  90 puppies were rescued from a backyard breeder in Florida – mostly toy breeds.
• Did you know that dogs are trained to sniff for cell phones now?  A prison in New Jersey is using specially-trained sniffer dogs to find cell phones that have been used to smuggle contraband into the jail.
• Remember Uno, the Best in Show winning Beagle from the Westminster Kennel Club dog show?  Macy’s has commissioned a float especially for this year’s Macy Parade.  Uno will ride along with David Frei before attending the National Dog Show as a special guest.
