Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Dog Drives Double Decker Bus in Australia
Phil Newton could barely believe his eyes when he saw a double decker bus being driven by a dog. Apparently the dog was sitting in the driver’s seat with his paws on the steering wheel as the bus drove down the street in the Northern Australian city of Darwin.
Newton chased after the runaway bus, climbed through a window and used the handbrake to bring the errant bus to a halt, moments before it rammed into a parked car.
The dog’s owner, Richard McCormack, said, “He sits next to me when I’m driving and in the driver’s seat when I’m not. The handbrake is on the dashboard and he’s seen me release it many times.
“He was just copying me. He’s tried it before.”
Woodley, the two-year-old driving dog, had no comment on his botched adventure!

Miracle Dog Survived Gas Chamber and Found a Forever Home!
Daniel, a Beagle mix dog that cheated death by surviving the gas chamber in an Alabama dog pound, now has a forever home in N.J. with Joe Dwyer.
Also known as the “Miracle Dog”, Daniel was put in a gas chamber to be euthanized with several other animals last month. Much to the shelter employees’ surprise, he survived the gassing and emerged relatively unscathed. Photos and more here.
Are “spot-on” flea and tick medications safe?
From NewsNet 5’s On Your Side Investigation: The safety of products like K9 Advantix and Frontline is being questioned, as pet owners have reported spending thousands of dollars to treat their pets after applying the products.
Veterinarian David Koncal, vice president of the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA), believes spot-on products are safe.
“I’d be willing to bet that 99 percent of the adverse reactions that are reported, there is something else going on in that animal that created that demise. It’s just a coincidence the flea product was used on them,” Koncal said.
He points out that billions of pets are treated with the products, yet only 34,000 have experienced problems.
You can read the whole story here, and a follow-up here.
Talk to your vet before treating your dog with spot-on products, as even the experts can’t agree on whether or not they’re dangerous.

Wednesday’s Wild, Wacky World of Dog News
Dateline: Akron, Ohio. What do you do when a burglar breaks into your house? Of course, you run into a bedroom, call the police, and hide.
Luckily, when this happened to an Akron resident recently, she thought to take her dog with her into the bedroom. As the thief was gathering together the stuff he wanted to take, he wandered into the bedroom where they were hiding…and the dog CHARGED him! The dog chased the burglar out of the home, into the arms of police who had just arrived on the scene.
Good dog! What kind of reward can you give a dog for that kind of help?

Good day, and good dog!

Dogs of War- Our Canine Soldiers
In the US it’s Veteran’s Day Weekend. In Canada, it’s Remembrance Day Weekend. Most of us have some tie that makes us reflect, if even for a moment.
We all know “working dogs” truly love a perfectly executed assignment if only to see a smile on their master. It’s rewarding for them.
We brought you a great video from Military.com about soldiers befriending dogs overseas. Now here’s a special look at the dogs who are working side by side, and actual members of our armed forces.
New York Times Best Selling Author Lisa Rogak has captured the excitement of working dogs in her new book The Dogs of War. It’s an inside look into a very elite, working and special class of dogs.
