Maybe the dog just likes candy?


This is a video of Stryker during training.

Something about this story just tickled my funny bone.  A woman from Los Angeles was driving through Solon, Ohio (near Cleveland).  She was pulled over for speeding and the human cops found her to be impaired, so they called in a dog to search the car.

Sure enough, Stryker found a bag of Jolly Ranchers that was labeled as containing marijuana for medical use only.  (Remember she lives in California, where that’s legal.)  But, since she also blew a 0.067 on her breathalyzer test, I guess she may have been more than a little impaired, and she was arrested.

Thanks, Stryker, for keeping our streets safe from candy!

BTW, the Solon police department is currently soliciting donations to care for the K-9 officers on their force.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Canine Guard for a Navy SEAL Funeral

Don’t you just love this picture?  They aren’t lying when they call dogs Man’s Best Friend.  This showed up recently on Facebook – made me cry.  Here’s the original caption, but I don’t know who took the pic.

During Navy Seal Jon Tumilson’s funeral yesterday, his trusted canine friend Hawkeye guarded him one last time.

Tumilson was one of the SEALs killed in the helicopter crash August 6th in Afghanistan.

To all of you who are serving:  Thanks, stay safe, and come home soon!  We love each and every one of you.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Urgent Plea for Home for Retired Military Dog / UPDATED!

UPDATE:  Rocky was saved today!  Trying to get details.  Please read below for more info.  Pets for Patriots can still use your support!

 

This is such a sad story – makes me wish I didn’t already have a houseful.  Rocky served three tours in Iraq between 2004 and 2007.  His last handler was killed in action, so Rocky was brought back to the States and has been cared for by other members of the unit.  However, now that his back legs are failing, the military will have to put him down unless someone adopts him by August 24th.
