And the Dog Wins! Nintendo Wii Now for the Dogs

July 24th, 2007

Think about our experience playing your favorite games- X-Box, Play Station, or the wii. You usually play alone or with your friends right? Well, imagine playing with a game with your dog. You are player one and the dog is player two. Don’t believe it? Well, it happened to one man as he decided to challenge his very intelligent dog to a wii boxing match. Perhaps the dog had a natural ability to move his paws? Maybe the man was just really bored? In any event, I’ll never really know how the dog learned this talent but what I do know is that dogs never cease to amaze me!

Dog Plays Wii Boxing Video Game

From the Gizmodo
“The Wiimotes are strapped to his arms and he’s moving them in time, and the arms seem to be attached to his body, but there’s no way he can actually be playing boxing. We need to lie down.”

Pit Bull Therapy - Another Hero

July 18th, 2007

Gypsy, an American Pit Bull Terrier, is a regular staff member with regular hours at the Surgery Center in Port St. Lucie. Her photo ID badge reads: “Pup-Lick Relations.” Her job as you might guess, providing kisses on patients going in for surgery.

From the Palm Beach Post
“The friendly dog chases away worries for children awaiting a tonsillectomy and fears from adults needing hernia repairs or a routine colonoscopy.”

Just another great example of the sweet nature Pit Bulls can have. Congrats to Gypsy, a super duper Therapy Dog.


The So Called Dangerous Pit Bull Saves Little Girl from Assault

July 18th, 2007

Bleu, a Pit Bull mix became markedly concerned for a 7 year old neighbor as she was about to be attacked. Bleu, recognized the distress in the girls screams in an adjacent backyard as she tried to fight off the pervert and began barking incessently trying to draw attention to the attack.

Hero Pit Bull Dog

From the NY Daily News
“He was going wild barking,” Fretes said. “I looked out and I saw two people. The girl was screaming.”
Fretes ran outside and yelled at the man, who witnesses said had been watching the girl and her friend before the attack. The suspect tore down part of a fence to escape the backyard on 171st St. in Flushing. The girl wept as she told Fretes about the attack.

Bleu is an absolute hero. We hope that more people recognize the good nature of Pit Bulls; and like all other dogs, when raised correctly they too are gentle giants with hearts of gold.


Hippo Turns Out to be Dogs BFF

June 20th, 2007

Yup.. that Hippopotamus is one big gentle giant. Her name is Jessica and she takes advantage of the family pet life, as much as the puppies do.

From the Telegraph
“Most nights, Jessica totters off back to the river for a mudbath. But on other occasions she’ll wander into the house, wet and dripping slime and plonk herself on the couple’s bed.”

Jessica apparently spends a lot of her time with dogs; sleeping, playing, chowing, even grooming some of the puppies. A few pictures follow:

Girls’ Birthday Party Goes To The Dogs

June 8th, 2007

It appeared to be a normal birthday party for two girls, ages six and seven.

Party goers gathered at a skating rink in Depew, New York - kids donned pink and purple helmets as they toddled around the rink – pop music blasting from nearby speakers.

What made this birthday party unique was the gift table.

Instead of Barbie dolls and hair bows, guests brought dog food, cat food, treats, toys and other pet products.

There were no gifts for humans at the joint birthday party for six-year old Victoria Bogucki and her seven-year old sister Isabella - instead every one of their gifts will be donated to the SPCA and Buffalo Animal Shelter. It is exactly what the girls wanted.

“We have too many toys,” Victoria said.

Victoria came up with the charity gifts idea after asking her mother what the word “donation” meant.

As for which charities to donate to, that was easy.

“We’re animal lovers,” said Victoria.

Victoria cherishes her dog, Butkus, her hermit crab and fish, and plans to become a veterinarian. Isabella aspires to do the same.

As for the SPCA and Buffalo Animal Shelter - they haven’t heard the last from the Bogucki sisters.

Victoria asked her mother if they can do the same charity gift giving for her first Holy Communion.
