German Shepherd, Nico, is back home after the lure of a sausage on the BBQ proved too much to resist.

"When Alan called me and said 'I've got him', I was practically in tears. I had a BBQ going with food on it in the hope the scent would bring him back. Andy told Lanarkshire Live: "We are all so relieved he's back with us safe and sound. "Nico went in the direction of the C'mon Inn in Calderwood and Alan and the dog walkers blocked off either end of the road and Alan managed to get him over to the car and grab him. "We seemed to lure him out with some sausages in the end and it was the quick thinking of a local taxi driver called Alan and a few dog walkers that got him back," Andy added. He's not left Nico's side since he has come home.

(A PDF of the original essay can be seen here.) More than 30,000 dogs were sampled and the results for average age of death showed, "French Bulldogs live just 4.53 years, while English Bulldogs and Pugs live only 7.39 years and 7.65 years, respectively." Beyond that, we need to start seeing the individual dog and treating the individual rather than our conception of what that animal should be. In this essay we read: "Flat-faced dog breeds, including French Bulldogs and Pugs, have the shortest life expectancy, a new study has found. In 1990, dog expert Mark Derr published what has become a classic essay in The Atlantic called "The Politics of Dogs" and it is now available online. Despite flat-faced dogs having record-high puppy registrations in 2020, experts are calling people to stop and think before buying a dog with a short snout." One is that as soon as the article appeared, the AKC went on what can only be called an imperial expansion annexing breed clubs--these clubs are in fact the membership of the AKC, which is a club of clubs. MD: It was originally received as a total condemnation of the all too common practices of breeding dogs primarily for profit and looks. According to vets at the Royal Veterinary College, brachycephalic dogs don't live as long due to the increased risk of breathing problems, skin fold infections and spinal disease they face. Having this essay become widely available is a hugely important move because it concerns itself with a topic that simply won't go away—humans continuing to make designer dogs who live highly compromised lives, some of whom have trouble breathing, mating, and giving birth, and living extremely short lives—because of human desires.1 1) Joyner, Lisa. 10 dog breeds with the shortest life expectancy—Due to issues with breeding.

Oat, Tofu, Plantain... is there no foodstuff that doesn't seem to suit our favourite animals? Katy Harrington talks to pet owners to find out why we've ...

My grandma would’ve probably never thought to name her pet Sushi or Tofu but in 2022, it’s all the rage.” Ludick has seen examples of a kitten called Boba (after the Taiwanese milk tea made with tapioca) and a chihuahua called Jellybean among the more unusual choices. “My grandma used to name all her dogs after herbs and spices, Pepper, Cinnamon, or Basil, etc, but it has definitely become increasingly more popular as the modern food scene has become more interesting. In Coren’s research he has also seen that while a dog might be given a more formal assigned name (Dancer or Odin), the owners will still often revert to calling their pet by foodie nicknames. For example, a child might be referred to as Cookie, Biscuit, or Honey. My own daughter has the nickname Pumpkin. A colleague of mine in Montreal refers to his daughter as Mon petit chou which translates to my little cabbage.” According to a 2022 database survey from pet store Rosewood Pet, Honey took the top spot for the most popular food-related pet name, with a mix of savoury and sweet names making up the rest of the top 10. Tianna took inspiration from delicious Jamaican foods and ingredients when it came to naming her cats. A database of 17,000 names from Animal Friends Pet Insurance found that Honey and Cookie came out on top again – but the longer list (with 82 food-related names in total) showed pet owners getting a bit more adventurous. Sofia is the proud owner of two black cats. A call-out on Twitter found even more pet owners embracing the trend. Flapjack. Shortly after, my friend called to tell me about her recent engagement – her partner proposed by attaching a ring to a little pouch around the neck of her cat, Oat. Their other cat is called Prune. On holiday, doing the typical dog-lover thing and sharing pet pics with a fellow tourist, I was shown photographs of an adorable puppy named Fig. Then I saw a plea on social media from an animal shelter trying to find a home for an abandoned young dog. Among the list, micro trends start to appear. Oat, Tofu, Plantain... is there no foodstuff that doesn’t seem to suit our favourite animals?

How to take a dog to a country fair without it getting overexcited by the crowds and noise, by expert trainer Ben Randall · Happy about travelling in your car ...

Above all, like all training, it’s really important to ensure that each training session — and experience, particularly in a busy situation — is positive and fun for the dog and you. Then give your dog some confidence by showing that you are in control of the situation, by asking him or her to do some sits and stays, as this will relax them and take their mind off everything that’s going around them. When you are happy that your dog is content in all sorts of busy and distraction-filled places, go for it, but make sure you get to the fair super early. Choosing to walk a pup around a big fair like that all day is a big no-no for me — basically, if the weather’s too hot or your dog is too young, please don’t take them. First things first: if you are contemplating taking your dog to a busy country fair or any other outdoor event this summer, you must consider how safe and appropriate a visit might be. It's the time of year to enjoy the weather and the wonderful events happening around the country, but going to those places isn't always easy with a four-legged friend in tow.
