Tyson and dog law

منذ 6 أعوام

—

The Dog News Show brings an alarming special report of a dog set on fire by police when being seized from his home. The #tysonslaw campaign by Rockys Army seeks to stop this ever happening again. Tyson was seized by police from his home with only the minor daughter present. Tyson became agitated, was put in the garden, got back in and police used an electric shield on him after spraying him with "biteback" deterrent. The spark ignited the dog's head and ear and chaos ensued as water was thrown at the flames and police tried to gain control. Tyson was claimed to be a banned breed of Pit Bull type and the family instructed solicitors and expert assessors to defend this. Tyson was so traumatised he never recovered his confidence in kennels and would not engage with anyone. In court the police officer claimed not to have been trained never to use the shield with biteback. The judge gave a destruction order to Tyson and his ashes were returned to his devastated family in December 2018. His family, with Rocky's Army support group are campaigning to establish a code of behaviour and policy to stop this ever happening again. Sign the petition here . You can find the Tyson's Law group on Facebook . Thanks to Mark Riley from Rockys Armys - for telling Tyson's sad story in this episode.…

Episode 49 - Who owns Tia, do dogs feel jealous, dog attack, walk a rescue dog and more

منذ 10 أعوام

—

It's been another busy week in the dog world, and to make sure you're up to date listen to The Dog News Show's latest podcast in which TV's Debbie Connolly and radio's Julie Hill discuss the latest stories. All dissected and served up with a healthy portion of honesty and generously garnished with humour. The first story is the sad tale of Tia, the dog whose owner told her to bite a shop assistant. While owner Jessiah Johnson received a suspended custodial sentence, Tia has been condemned to death. Now, there is confusion around who owns the dog, and so there is no chance for an appeal. But is it right for a dog to suffer for a handler's actions? To read the full story click here . What do you think of the innovative scheme at the Ivins Animal Shelter in Ivins, Utah , where rescue dogs are taken for hikes around the Red Mountain Resort by tourists? Does this provide much needed entertainment for dogs stuck in rescue, or does it put dogs unneccessarily at risk? And do you think the decision to adopt a dog after taking a walk with it is a considered one? Would you buy a treat for your dog that was called Roast Postman's Leg ? Well such a treat does exist - please note that it does not contain any real postman - and the Communication Workers Union is not happy about it. It's certainly no laughing matter that over 26,000 postal workers have been attacked by dogs since 2008, but is this bone treat just a bit of fun, or does it encourage an irresponsible attitude? And where does the responsibility lie for ensuring our posties stay safe? Julie's found some more research to provoke Debbie with, so just what opinions will emerge when they discuss the recent study by the University of California San Diego, that dogs do feel jealousy ? To read the original research click here . Do you think dogs can feel envy, or do you think we are guilty of projecting human emotions onto our four legged friends? Debbie tackles the disturbing story of Stephen Potts, who was mauled in the street by two of his own dogs. This was by all accounts a severe attack, with bystanders trying to get the dogs off, and resulted in Potts' arm being amputated. Allegedly the dogs were startled by fireworks, but is that a satisfactory explanation for such a serious incident? Potts is apparently a dog breeder, which leads to the question of regulating breeders - and owners. To close the show with a smile, Schmaltz Corner features the story of Henry, the Border Terrier who got lost down a rabbit hole. His owner called in the fire brigade, but after searching for more than three days, Henry was proving elusive. Listen to hear the solution his owner came up with - and to find out whether Julie's story gets "stomped" on by Debbie yet again.…

Episode 48 - the Manchester and Cheshire Dogs Home Tragedy Special

منذ 10 أعوام

—

The relaunch of The Dog News Show is a special episode about the tragic arson fire at Manchester and Cheshire Dogs Home . This horror, apparently committed by a 15 year old boy has captured the attention of the UK . Currently standing at almost £2 million, the donations fund has received contributions from celebrities too. Simon Cowell has donated a holiday break for the two men hailed as heroes for seeing the fire and saving 20 dogs. The appalling cruelty of dogs burned alive, some still receiving veterinary care has understandably created a unique response, showing the good nature of UK animal lovers. Sadly up to 60 dogs died in the fire. Social media has driven a Just Giving Fund , the legitimate ones are run by the home and by Manchester Evening News , who ran the first story. This has also attracted criticism with comments about how this pound doesn't home check, neuter or vaccinated the dogs sold after their 7 legal days as strays are up. Other rescues appear to have criticised such a large fund and Debbie Connolly talks about what motivates some people to want to adopt and help from miles away whilst dogs on their own doorsteps die. Julie Hill discusses an article pointing out the bigger picture of this crime. The many dogs dumped that create the need for dog pounds, using an article by Ally Fogg to illustrate this. The show ends with the traditional schmatlz corner story, Julie Hill has chosen the story of the Bichon Frise reunited with its family after they feared her dead in the fire, whilst Debbie Connolly reminds people that had the dog been chipped and/or tagged, it would have gone home and not needed to be in the pound at all.…

Crufts 2014 Special

منذ 11 عامًا

—

Here's the Crufts 2014 special from The Dog News Show - the podcast where Debbie Connolly and Julie Hill discuss the latest dog news stories, exchanging strong opinions, often with more than a pinch of humour. In this show you can hear excerpts of the interviews the team did at Crufts, and all the full length interviews are also on the website. First up in the is show is an interview with Stephen Jenkinson who is the Kennel Club's Access Advisor. Debbie talked to him about what his job entails, and how he works with dog owners and land owners to make sure that dogs can be walked with no danger to them, or to the environments they are visiting. He brings up some strategies that can be employed to help, and you can find more information on this page - New approaches to managing dogs in the countryside . Next, Julie talks to Dr Claire Guest, founder and head trainer at Medical Detection Dogs about the work her amazing dogs do working with partners with a range of conditions. Claire also spills the beans on some exciting news for the charity, who recently did a demonstration in front of The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall. The royal couple have been so moved by the charity's work that the Duchess is now their patron. Find out more at the Medical Detection Dogs site. It's no secret that Debbie is a big fan of police dogs - not to mention police dog handlers - and her second interview in this show is with Dave Hibbert who is not only a puppy socialiser, but has founded the Retired WM Police Dog Benevolent Fund to care for police dogs when they stop working. This is a cause close to Debbie's heart, as she runs Bravo Working Dog Rescue, so hear two experts talk about the retirement care needed for dogs who make our lives safer in so many ways. Raw feeding is a hot topic in the dog world, so Julie caught up with enthusiastic raw feeder Judith Broug to talk about her Facebook group Rawfeeding Rebels . Judith is a total convert to raw feeding, and she not only feeds her three dogs a raw food diet, she seeks to spread the benefits to other dog owners. However, Judith doesn't appreciate over-zealous attempts to persuade owners to adopt a raw approach, and the Rawfeeding Rebels group is strictly non-judgmental and welcoming. Hear a very interesting take on the subject of raw feeding in this interview. Debbie gets all Girl Power when she talks to Police Officer Sue Cheek about her work with her police dogs Beau and King. Sue has been named the force's Dog Handler of the Year , and she and her canine partner have been in situations where they've been shot at and had petrol bombs thrown at them. Police dogs are often in the front line of the fight against crime, and they deserve our gratitude, as do the incredible officers who handle them. Sue was at Crufts taking part in displays in the main arena, where she and King wowed the crowds. And finally we come to Schmaltz Corner - the bit you've been waiting for! Julie talked to Steven Courtney about his Cocker Spaniel Molls who was trained for him by Medical Detection Dogs. Molls alerts to Steven's blood sugar levels which are affected by his aggressive and unpredictable diabetes, allowing him to participate in activities which were previous impossible, and giving his parents piece of mind. The partnership were one of the nominees in the Kennel Club's Friends for Life competition. Will Debbie be able to find something to stomp all over this story about? Listen and find out.…

Episode 46 - Parvo panic, digital doggy TV, dog ghettos and more

منذ 12 عامًا

—

If you like news and you love dogs, this is the podcast for you. Debbie Connolly and Julie Hill discuss their pick of the dog related news stories of the week - the good, the bad, and the downright mad in some cases. If you'd like to comment on anything you hear in the show or suggest a story for inclusion, get in touch with us or contact us via Facebook or Twitter. Kicking the show off, Debbie has a story of a worrying Parvo outbreak in Wales . There have been suggestions from The Abandoned Animals Association in Denbighshire that it may be the cost of vaccinations that is putting people off - but surely that's one of the costs that should be taken into account before getting a dog? Vaccination is a complicated issue, and the discussion ranges over the fact that you don't really want to over-vaccinate your dog, but neither do you want to leave him unprotected. Then again if you believe everything you read on Facebook you may not even know what vaccinations are all about anyway - the debate rages! Meanwhile dogs down under seem to benefiting from the change over in Australia from an analog television signal to a digital one. Julie has the story of how the lack of image flicker in the new digital pictures means dogs are more likely to be able to make sense of the television they are seeing. Dogs are reacting to television shows that depict dogs and other animals, although they don't seem to react so much to people on the screen. Does your dog react to the TV - and does his reaction shape your viewing choices? According to the Kennel Club society is becoming less tolerant of dogs and creating dog ghettos by banning them from so many locations and only allowing them into a few. More dog control orders restrict where we can take our four-legged-friends, but what can we do about it, and - more to the point - is it the fault of those irresponsible owners who neither train nor clean up after their dogs? What do you think of the latest Internet craze, which originated in China, of dogs in pantyhose - that's tights to us Brits! In this blog post Julie Hecht expresses her concerns about the fad, and neither Julie nor Debbie understand the motivation of owners who put tights on their dogs. There's absolutely no benefit to the dog, and in fact it may stop them toileting - or even moving. Is it the thin end of this unsavory wedge when we dress our dogs, or hunmanise them for comic effect in You Tube videos, or is it a harmless pastime? One thing's for sure; dogs in tights do not get The Dog News Show approval. Back to Australia for the penultimate story, which is about a scheme pairing up rescue dogs with prison inmates to give the dogs a better shot at a forever home, and rehabilitate the prisoners. Do you approve of this kind of arrangement? - is it an effective way to get criminals back on the road to going straight, or is it just too pleasant when prison should be a punishment? It's been a very downbeat dog news week, but there's a Schmaltz Corner to cheer you up with the story of a deaf Pit Bull who found and lost then found a home , and the patient foster mother who was there to pick up the pieces. Without a tireless army of devoted rescuers and fosterers where would we be? If you need help with a deaf dog, in the UK visit the Deaf Dog Network website, and in USA visit the Deaf Dog Education Action Fund website.…

Episode 45 - Dog walkers regulated, detection dogs retrained, ferrets as dogs and more

منذ 12 عامًا

—

If you're looking for a weekly dose of dog flavoured news, look no further then The Dog News Show, the podcast in which Debbie Connolly and Julie Hill present their pick of the dog related headlines, and discuss them with honesty and not infrequent humour. If you'd like to comment on anything you hear in the show, or suggest stories to be included, do get in touch with the show. Debbie starts this show off with the news that professional dog walkers in London will have to abide by new rules from the end of April . They will need a £300 licence to access the royal parks, a £100 licence for each vehicle they wish to park in the same parks, only be able to walk up to 4 dogs simultaneously, and have to wear an arm band identifying them as a dog walker amongst other conditions. Are these new measure fair? Will they help keep dogs safe? Julie has a story of sniffer dogs having to be retrained in the USA after several states have decriminalised marijuana , so no longer need the dogs to detect it and alert their handlers. It's an interesting process, retraining a sniffer dog to react to different substances, and working dogs not only go through a thorough training, they are re-evaluated regularly. Some dogs are being retrained to sniff out wildlife or wildlife parts, like rhino horns and ivory that criminals attempt to smuggle into the country. If you'd like to find out more about how working dogs enhance our lives and make our working and leisure locations safe, visit the Bravo Working Dog Rescue website. Bravo helps retiring working dogs by offering rehabilitation and rehoming, as well as finding working roles for dogs who are struggling to fit into pet life. You may find it difficult to believe this next story is not an April Fool, but apparently visitors to an Argentinian market were fooled into thinking they were buying dogs, when they were actually buying steroid fed ferrets . One woman thought she was buying a Chihuahua, while a man was under the impression he had purchased a Poodle, and was only disillusioned when he took his new "dog" to the vet. Some posters on social networks have commented that they want one of these new steroid-ferrets, but does this incident show just how low we have sunk as a species that we are willing to exploit animals in this extreme way? Meanwhile Staffordshire Bull Terriers who have had some sad headlines recently, were reported on in a much more balanced way this week. Caralyn Hastings' son was bitten by their Staffie, but the pair insist he is a lovely dog, who simply reacted sharply as his injured leg was touched inadvertently. The article on the incident was very neutral - with a complete lack of the over-the-top adjectives often applied to this breed. Debbie presents an interesting story from the Ashbourne News Telegraph, of a scheme by the rural insurer NFU Mutual, the British Horse Society and the Association of Chief Police Officers to help socialise puppies to farm animals in rural areas. However, as she points out no dog training organisation is involved, so how well will the classes be run, and most shockingly, the NFU has appeared to condone puppy farms and the dreadful practices that go on in them. In a Schmaltz Corner Julie believes will gladden your heart, hear the tale of Sheila and Harry Lee, who have installed a stairlift for their dog, Pippa. WHen Dachshund Pippa had a spine operation, Sheila and Harry wanted to avoid her running up and down the stairs, but neither of them felt safe carrying her on the stairs. So the solution was clear - a stairlift. Now Pippa and their other two Daxies - all rescue dogs -descend and ascend safely and in style. So is this over-the-top or true pooch pampering? As usual Schmaltz Corner provokes colourful debate!…

Episode 44 - Appealing dogs, a water rescue, borrow a dog and more

منذ 12 عامًا

—

In this episode of the podcast where Debbie Connolly and Julie Hill discuss the latest dog related news, there is a mix of stories. As usual, you can comment on anything you hear by emailing the show, or by going to the Twitter or Facebook page. Debbie revisits the tragic death of teenager Jade Lomas Anderson, who was killed by her friend's family dogs last week. Jade's family want the law on dog attacks to be changed - but a knee jerk reaction on legislation could lead us into hastily brought in laws that dog owners live to regret. Although our heartfelt condolences go to the Lomas Anderson family, it's the owners of dogs who need to be brought to justice; and all owners need to be aware of the right way to bring up their dogs to be well-socialised, well-behaved and not a danger to anyone. Debbie has written a blogpost on the Safepets UK website on the subject , and hopes lessons can be learned to prevent further attacks. In happier news, Julie has stories in which the appeal of dogs was recently demonstrated. When Andrew Neil took his dog Molly to work with him . Molly was seen wandering around the set of the BBC's This Week program - at one point falling asleep on the sofa with her head in historian David Starkey's lap - and more people watched the show than ever. Meanwhile in the USA, a "photobombing" dog , who popped up in photos his owners posted of an apartment in Chicago they were hoping to rent, the dog's hide and seek poses helped the apartment rent within 24 hours. In Canada a dog was celebrated as a hero after he rescued two girls who had fallen into icy water. Debbie discusses the tale of Lab-Husky cross Rocky, who swam out into the North Saskatchewan River to save Samara and Krymzen. Some dogs particularly enjoy water training, and in the UK you can give your dog a try with Mind Your Dog, who offer a variety of training opportunities. If you haven't got time and space for a dog of your own would you like to "borrow" one from time to time? But would you trust your dog to go off for a walk with a stranger? Julie highlights the new Borrow My Doggy website - but questions if it meets dogs' needs, and whether it's better to volunteer for your local shelter, or the Cinnamon Trust than register with this website. Debbie likes the sound of a new dog friendly park in Dallas which will be opening in May this year. Do you visit venues that welcome your dog more often than you do those where Fido is not welcome? Are businesses who shun our dogs missing out on our money? What responsibilities accompany the opportunity to take our dogs to public venues? Schmaltz Corner aims to send you away with a smile, and this week Julie hopes the story of Tessa will do just that. Tessa was just hours from being euthanised in a Los Angeles shelter , and was sadly unable to see or walk. Annie Hart, a volunteer from The Bill Foundation helped get Tessa the treatment she needed, and nurse her back to health. Tessa is now looking for her forever home. See Tessa's remarkable recovery in this moving video . Don't forget that April is National Pet Month - the time to celebrate our pets, promote responsible pet ownership across the UK, highlight the important work of pet care professionals and working companion animals and help raise money for the nation’s pet care charities. Find out more at the National Pet Month website and get in touch with them via Twitter .…

Episode 43 - Dog attacks in the media and more

منذ 12 عامًا

—

In this week's podcast where dogs meet news, Debbie and Julie discuss the distressing stories that have dominated this week's headlines. It's been a sad week in the dog world, and as ever if you have opinions about what you hear, or you'd like to suggest stories for next week, get in touch with the show. On the 26th March we had the extremely upsetting news that a teenager had been killed by her friend's mother's dogs. 14 year old Jade Lomas-Anderson was visiting her friend's house when apparently she was attacked by four of the family's dogs while alone in the house eating a meat pie. Tragically Jade did not survive the attack, and police marksmen shot the dogs. Debbie and Julie express their condolences to Jade's family, and wonder what lessons can be learned from the incident. How can we prevent tragedies like this from occurring? Facebook was awash with photos of a Cavalier Spaniel being bitten by a Staffordshire Bull Terrier type dog , when Mafalda Clewlow asked people to help her find the owner of the dog that had attacked her dog. Things took an ugly turn with people insulting and threatening the Staffie type owner, and rumours and misinformation have been posted and re-posted. In this show we have an interview with the owner of the dog that attacked the Spaniel, as for the first time he puts his side of the incident in his own words. This is a case that has been clouded by confusion about the facts - even the police had to correct their press release clarifying the situation - and at one point there was doubt as to whether the Staffie type dog, Enzo, was alive or dead. Sadly, Enzo was destroyed earlier this week - but did the furore that broke out around this case on social media sites contribute to his death? And since people realised how much they were hurting Enzo's owner, will they learn their mistake or (as seems to be the case) will the mood swing against Mafalda. Both Debbie and Julie highlight the need for people to calm down and use common sense; be able to disagree without harassing each other. Debbie illustrates how easily misinformation can be shared by people who re-post things without verifying they are true, with the story that has swept the Internet about thieves using stickers to mark houses with dogs that can be stolen. In other news it's Tick Bite Prevention week . Click on that link to find out more about how to stop your dog being at risk of Lyme Disease; and the only safe way to remove a tick from your dog. To round off a sad show with a story that focuses on the gentle, caring side of dogs, Julie has a Schmaltz Corner about a terrier cross who has become a guide for his blind Labrador friend .…

Episode 42 - Crufts 2013 special

منذ 12 عامًا

—

Episode 42 is our Crufts 2013 special and was filmed at the most prestigious pedigree dog show in the world. Debbie Connolly and Julie Hill have been exploring, finding a variety of stories to bring to you. We assume that securing our dogs with a harness in the car will keep them safe, but Debbie talks to Alex Wilson from Xtra Dog about the alarming lack of testing on dog car harnesses - and hears about a car harness that has been tested. Julie talks to Farrah Stevens from the Animal Health Trust about the Herculean efforts on the stand to cycle 400 miles during the 4 days of Crufts to raise money for and awareness of the charity's new cancer centre. Debbie interviews Marc Abraham - TV's favourite vet - about his anti puppy farm campaign. To hear more from Marc and to help him stamp out the scurge of the dog world, who keep dogs in appalling conditions and produce badly bred puppies purely for money find him on Twitter as @marcthevet . Julie can't resist a story about dog poo - but this time it's a positive one. She talks to Gill Diamond about the dog poo wormery . Debbie hears from John Howie of Lintbells about how their range of supplements are helping to keep both pet and show dogs in the best condition and health possible. As ever there's a Schmaltz Corner to send you away with a smile - Lorraine and Steve Wright have been showing their dogs for 36 years and celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary at the show.…

Episode 41 - Paralysed sheepdog, poisoned show dog, rescued retriever and more

منذ 12 عامًا

—

In this podcast Debbie Connolly and Julie Hill choose their pick of the week's dog news stories, and share their opinions of them. As usual there's a mixed bag of stories - and you can comment on anything you hear and suggest stories for discussion by getting in touch with the show via email, Facebook, Twitter or Google+. What would you do if your dog was unable to get around through illness or injury? Well when Abayed, a sheepdog in Jordan, was mistaken for a stray and shot , his shepherd owners took him to the Humane Center for Animal Welfare where he was fitted with a rear leg cart. Abayed is the first dog in the country to have a cart, and hopefully the way he has adapted to his new way of getting around will help save the lives of other dogs in the country. When Charley Wilcock got her Jack Russell, DD, she had no idea that she was deaf . However, she adapted her training methods and has taught DD a variety of tricks, and the pair has even joined a local dog display team. She wants to let people know that dogs with disabilities can live happy lives and are just as trainable as a dog without disabilities. Charley wants to assemble a display team of all disabled dogs which could help raise awareness of what these dogs can achieve. You can get in touch with her 07792 376226 or email chartoon@hotmail.co.uk . You can see a video of DD on Facebook , and if you need support with a deaf dog, do contact the Deaf Dog Network . Debbie highlights the case of a young crossbreed dog who was handed into a police station by a member of the public, and who was described as "skeletal" weighing around half of her ideal weight. Even after treatment young Jess is in a critical treatment, and it is unsure what the outlook for her is longterm. But how is a dog allowed to get into this state, and what is the recovery process like for a dog who has been compromised in this way? Julie has the sad and strange tale of poor Cruz, the show Samoyed who died soon after the Westminster dog show in America. His owner and handler maintain that he was poisoned by "activists". However, PETA have pointed out that Cruz had had "bark reduction" surgery and if any damage has been done to the dog it was by his owner and handler, not by any strangers concerned about his safety. Debbie and Julie discuss why no post mortem was performed on the dog, and how this case is more bizarre the more you find out about it. It's Crufts week and Debbie shares the Friends for Life Finalists . This is the competition run each year by the Kennel Club which celebrates dogs which have changed, and in some case saved, human lives, and the winner is decided by public vote. It's a lovely way to honour dogs who have served their humans in a variety of ways, and this year's nominees are as heart-warming as ever. From the disabled dog who inspires confidence in his disabled young owner, to the exemplary retiring police dog who has devoted his life to making our world a safer place, to the assistance dogs who brought their people together, to the pet who gave his family a reason to carry on, they are all wonderful dogs - and yes you can vote for them all! As usual, Schmaltz Corner, seeks to send listeners away with a smile, and this time Julie has the story of Pifas, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever who was lost, ended up on a frozen Lake Michigan, was rescued, ran off, was taken into rescue, and then had to be neutered before his owner could have him back. This story has it all including an action hero who leapt into action and took to his kayak to rescue poor Pifas - so does it measure up to Debbie's exacting standards? Probably not! You can see photos of the plight Pifas found himself in on the Daily Mail site, and the Huffington Post has a follow up story of Pifas being reunited with his owner .…

Episode 40 - Hero dogs, puppy scams, shocking truths and more

منذ 12 عامًا

—

In the podcast where dogs meet news, Debbie Connolly and Julie Hill discuss their pick of the dog related news stories from the last week. You can download the podcast or listen online, and if you'd like to comment on anything you hear, or suggest stories for inclusion in the next show, email the show or contact us on the Facebook or Twitter page. There is also a video version of this episode. Debbie opens proceedings with a story from New Zealand where a woman's dog fought off her attacker . The woman had already scratched her assailant, but it wasn't until her dog bit him that he ran off. Police are now looking for the attacker, but the really good news is that under New Zealand law, the dog is not at risk of punishment or consequence for his actions. Do you think our dogs should have the freedom to defend us from attack in this way, or should people always have greater legal protection than dogs? We're often told to beware of unscrupulous breeders, but Julie has a story of a breeder who should have been more wary of her customers . When Doreen Dawson took her two Pekingese puppies to her potential customers' car, they asked for paperwork and then drove off with the puppies. However there are further issues, as the puppies are considered to be a viable form of income by Doreen, which raises questions about why breeders should breed pups. If anyone has information about this crime, which took place in Warsop, they can contact police on the non-emergency number 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Debbie has a story that carries implications for all dog owners in the UK. Julie Lindley Bull Mastiff dogs attacked three young girls on the street in an incident that hit the headlines . Obviously, our sympathies go to the children involved, but the case raises extremely worrying and important issues. Despite the dogs being well trained and soicialised, and one of them having a long-standing history of being temperamentally sound, of traveling to dog shows around the world, and of being handled by children, for some reason the attack happened - and as a result their owner had to plead guilty under the Dangerous Dogs Act. This is surprising since it wasn't her fault the dogs were out - it appears someone removed a fence panel from the dogs' secure enclosure. Could this happen to you and your dog? Julie has Debbie's favourite thing - research! This time it's a study from The University of California, where a team have been looking into the medical records of over 700 Golden Retrievers and the affect neutering has had on their health with relation to two joint diseases and three cancers. Their findings were that neutered dogs were at more risk of these diseases. This sparked debate between the show's hosts, although both agree on the need for more research into this area. The full research can be found at this link - Neutering Dogs: Effects on Joint Disorders and Cancers in Golden Retrievers . How do you fancy a doggy "lucky bag" arriving on your doorstep once a month? Pooch Pack offers to provide you with a different selection of dog related products each month, and in this show Debbie presents Julie with a typical pack to explore. The contents is undoubtedly high quality goods, but is the pricing right, and will it suit all dogs? And to round things off with a story to send you away with a smile we have Schmaltz Corner. This week Julie has the story of a 5 year old Italian Greyhound who is retiring from his successful show career to concentrate on his therapy work. He lives alongside a variety of other dogs, and can clearly function very well in the real world - so does this story get a stomping or not?…

Episode 39 - Kyrgyzstan's dog cull, the laughing police dog, loser Labs and more

منذ 12 عامًا

—

As usual, Debbie and Julie have trawled through this week's headlines looking for the most interesting dog stories. In this podcast you can hear their choices and opinions. As ever if you wish to comment on anything you hear, or if you want to suggest a story for inclusion in the show, you can get in touch with the show. The first story this week is Debbie's take on the dog cull occurring in Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan , where there is a stray population of 200,000 feral dogs. With no dog rescue plan in place to take in or neuter the dogs, an astounding 12,406 dogs were shot in 2012. Clearly this is a heartbreaking situation, but what's the answer? There are suggestions that paying the "shooters" who kill the dogs on a per dog basis encourages them to shoot dogs who aren't actually homeless. If Labrador Retrievers are so popular, why has one never been Best in Show at the prestigious Westminster Show ? Julie's done some digging and discovered that Crufts has only been won by a Labrador three times, the most recent in 1937. Furthermore at Westminster a Labrador has never ever won Best of Group - so just why is it that Labs are being ignored? Is it that they don't have a long coat, they aren't as elegant as some, or is that they are just not "flashy" enough? Having worked with many police dogs and handlers, Debbie was drawn to the hilarious story of the police dog who was asked to supply an incident statement. PD Peach's handler duly wrote out an incident report on his dog's behalf and submitted it. It read, ‘I chase him. I bite him. Bad man. He tasty. Good boy. Good boy Peach.’ Though it made people laugh and was shared around various social networking sites, and apparently now West Midlands Police’s Professional Standards Department is investigating - but surely this is a harmless bit of humour from someone in a stressful job? Sophie the two-year-old Maltipoo was in her garden with the other family dog, seven-month-old puppy Lulu, when a coyote came into the garden. Despite being small, Sophie put herself between Lulu and the coyote and saw the potential predator off. Julie tells how, sadly, Sophie and Lulu's family decided they could not keep the dogs as they were worried about a further coyote attack. When Sophie's story hit the headlines, so many people applied to adopt her that the shelter had to take a novel approach to selecting her new owner. Next, Debbie reports that a group of rogue M.P.s are complaining that the plans to microchip all UK dogs are "woefully inadequate" . Since this is Debbie's view as well, she's hoping that we'll see extra laws to compel owners to keep the details of their dog's microchip up to date, and possibly to see something like a log book system in use with British cars. Plus did you know that although the Dangerous Dogs Act was introduced in 1991the 1871 Dogs Act is still an effective and relevant law regarding dogs? And so to the part of the show that aims to send you away with a smile on your face - Schmaltz Corner. This week Julie has the tale of Great Dane Ellie Grace who was kept chained up outside but was rescued and rehomed by HART ( Helping Animals Reach Tomorrow ). But that's not the end of the story, because Ellie Grace's owner had more dogs, so just how did HART help them out too?…

In this week's dose of new and views you can hear Debbie and Julie discuss their pick of the dog stories that have hit the headlines. If you would like to participate in the podcast you can comment on any of the stories or suggest content for nest week's show by emailing Debbie@TheDogNewsShow.com or Julie@TheDogNewShow.com , or via the show's Twitter or Facebook pages. The dog story dominating the news this week is the announcement from Defra on February 6th that as of April 2016 all dogs in the UK will be required by law to be microchipped . Debbie has grave misgivings about the efficacy of this move without the addition of compulsory paper work that would result in "cradle to grave" responsibility - you can read her blogpost on the SafePets UK website. Are you an avid fan of microchips, or are you alarmed at the prospect of being compelled to chip your dog? Dognition is a new project to examine the ways in which our dogs work things out. Julie has been investigating the site and likes the fact that the angle here is not are our dogs intelligent, but rather how are our dogs intelligent; do they collaborate with us, or are they independent thinkers? The venture is termed citizen science, and for $60 participants are guided by videos through the simple but revealing tests to carry out with their dogs. You can read more about this project in an interview with Dr Brian Hare on the Wired website . Having trained, rescued and rehabilitated working dogs for many years, Debbie was interested in the story of a police dog who escaped and injured four people . Debbie has already contacted the force in question, offering to take the dog into her Bravo Working Dog Rescue to do whatever is necessary - retraining, rehabilitation, rehoming - if the dog in question is retired. Debbie also makes the point that general purpose dogs like the dog in this story are not dangerous attack dogs, and are well trained animals who devote their lives to making our lives safer and more secure. A new book What to Expect When No One’s Expecting by Jonathon V. Last, a journalist working in the field of demographic trends, claims that a "pet mania" has gripped America. Julie finds it intriguing that Jonathon interprets it as a negative influence that people treat their dog as a member of the family, insure them and provide for them in their wills. He also finds it unsettling that pets now out number children 4 to 1 in the U.S. You can read more about the book in an interesting blogpost by Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell - who you can contact on her twitter feed @fivecoat . There is also more information about the book on the Great Pet Health website . Debbie has a story from Spallumcheen, in Canada, where a dog control officer is proposing to change fines for dog attacks so that they reflect the seriousness of the incident. Pat Ellis wants to see the usual fine of $500 halved for "less serious" attacks. Interestingly the law in Spallumcheen covers attacks and potential attacks on both people and animals. And so to the final story which is always Schmaltz Corner - a feel good story to send you away with a smile on your face. And surely the headline here - Real-life Lassie saves elderly woman from freezing ditch - must be a winning story. So will Julie finally get a story that meets with Debbie's approval and escape stomp-free? And where do sandwiches fit into the story? All will be revealed when you download or listen online to the podcast where dogs meet news.…

Episode 37 - Gay dogs, stray dogs, runaway dogs and more

منذ 12 عامًا

It's been a week of varied week of dog news and Debbie and Julie discuss their pick of the stories in this podcast where dogs meet news. You can hear an interview in this episode with Jenny Brown whose dog Tiga hit the headlines this week. Having listened to all this, if you'd like to comment you can get in touch with the show in various ways, and you can also suggest stories for inclusion. Warning: this podcast contains opinions! Debbie starts the show off with a story that was shared around most of the social media sites this week - the plight of the "gay" dog who ended up in rescue and was in danger of being put to sleep. The poor dog in question was rejected after his owner saw him mounting another male dog - a behaviour which is part of normal canine interaction - and assumed his dog was homosexual. The unusual position in which the dog found himself caught the attention of many dog lovers and his story was shared and shared, with the result that he has now found a new home. However, the debate this story has stirred up continues. Julie's back to talking poo again - but so is Ben Fogle, who's been complaining about the amount of dog poo left unscooped in his local park in the Kensington and Chelsea area of London. Ben has some suggestions to solve the problem - for example every time he clears up after his own dog, he clears up a dropping from another dog. But Ben wants to go further, he wants to establish a National Poo Day when we all go out and about and clean up our parks and streets. This is a nationwide problem, with Councils in Edinburgh under pressure to employ more wardens to pick up dog poo. So could you bear picking up other people's dogs' poop? And do you think a mass clear up would sort the problem out long term? The Internet attracts a lot of criticism, but sometimes the power of social media to unite dog lovers shines through, and surprisingly it's Debbie who has chosen to highlight this story which overflows with the milk of human kindness. Manuela Schafer had been trying for years to catch a stray dog , Shaggy, so she could look after him and find her a good home, but to no avail. When Manuela appealed to California animal rescuer Eldad Hagar he put a request out to his many Facebook followers. The result was 40 caring and determined volunteers converging on COLUMBIA, South Carolina to facilitate the rescue of the elusive dog. After a two hour search through heavily wooded terrain, Shaggy was found and has now been adopted into a new home. When Margaret Charles fell over during a dog walk in Suffolk in the U.K., Maisie her Cairn Terrier took off and that was the last that was seen of her for eight days. Snow was falling and lying on the ground and temperatures were dipping to minus 6, and despite many volunteers looking for Maisie on a daily basis, Margaret began to give up hope. Then Jenny Brown and her Beagle, Tiga, got involved in the search. Tiga was given Maisie's blanket to get her scent, and after two hours of looking Tiga tracked the missing dog down to where the lead she was still wearing had trapped her beneath some bushes. Included in this show is Julie's interviewed Jenny about her and Tiga's adventures. Maisie is now home safe and sound and she is not the only dog Jenny and Tiga have helped locate, and they have assisted and resolved several Dog Lost UK searches for missing dogs. How many dogs do you consider safe for one person to walk simultaneously? There are plans to limit the number of dogs that can be walked by one person on Hampstead Heath to four, and the move has stirred up both complaint and praise. Debbie has been finding out what people think about this issue - both pet owners and professional dog walkers, and has found that the number of dogs being walked may not be as important as the dogs or the handler involved. And after an unusually happy and upbeat show, Julie round proceedings off with Schmaltz Corner which aims to send listeners away with a smile. Teenager Ben Ownby was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at only 17 months of age. He is allergic to adhesive and unable to wear a continuous glucose monitor, but his assistance dog Dakota monitors it for him . Labradoodle Dakota sits beside the pool as Ben participates in his school's swim team practices, and you can see some lovely photos of the pair here . But does this lovely story escape a stomping from Debbie? - no of course not, but what aspect will she pick on this time? Listen and find out.…
