Apart from genuine dog lovers, the number of people who are seeking dogs to influence planetary dispensation, has seen more than 50 per cent rise in the demand for puppies. Some who are in a great hurry due to astrological advice even pay for a full-grown dog.
Number of dog breeders who provide pedigreed pups in and around the city has increased. There are at least half a dozen persons who are in the trade and can procure pups ranging right from Pug, Spitz, Great Dane, Dalmatian, German Shepherd, Labrador, Doberman, Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel and Dachshund.
Apparently black dogs, which are often rejected in North American animal shelters, are particularly in demand. NityaNand Tripathi, popularly known as Bade punditji in Varanasi, recommends “feeding of black dog, black cow and crow for warding off trouble, anxiety and pain, especially on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.”
The Scottie News is a little late with this report on the arrival of a wheaten Scottish Terrier puppy at his new home, but the pictures of Sprocket and his big brother Speck are just as good as ever.
A Scottish terrier’s tail is specifically designed so you can grab it when he’s tracked whatever back to its burrow. So, the dog went charging in the bathroom, ready to kick butt and take names.
Michael Coveney of Whatsonstage.com wrote: Sian Brooke is a likeable, over-age Dorothy but the role is a vacuum without Judy Garland, and her little dog Toto – played winningly by a plumpish white Highland terrier – the real star of the show.”
Sam Marlowe of the Times wrote: “The real crowd-pleaser, however, is Bobby the Westie, as Dorothy’s beloved dog Toto. This appealingly shaggy, snowy mutt may not be the jet-black creature Baum’s book describes, but he displays a playfulness and spontaneity lacking elsewhere in Kelly’s production.”
Dominic Cavendish in the Daily Telegraph wrote: “Brooke’s Dorothy lacks Judy Garland’s wide-eyed responsiveness, but she handles both the songs and Toto with twinkling aplomb.” In the Independent, Paul Taylor wrote: “Toto is adorable.”
Simon Edge of the Daily Express wrote: “Honours must also go to the West Highland terrier Bobby as a remarkably disciplined Toto.”
Lisa Martland of the Stage wrote: “In the end though everyone is eventually upstaged by Toto (a West Highland Terrier called Bobby) who tends to steal every scene he is in.”
See the Scottish Terrier and Dog News‘ earlier report on the controversial decision to cast a Westie in the fabled role of Toto. The Southbank Centre revival of the Wizard of Oz runs for a limited summer season to 31 August 2008 at the Royal Festival Hall.
Ten days ago the Scottie News asked readers if they had any information about the mysterious Scottish Terrier Racing Team and, as is almost always the case, they did indeed.
Someone called k9delboy — whose email got sent to spam probably as a result of being called k9delboy — wrote and answered our questions: “We are called SCOTTISH TERRIER RACING TEAM as we come from FIFE in SCOTLAND and we wear the Saltire on our tee shirts … Our website www.scottishterrierracingteam should be up and running in next few weeks.”
Well, Scottie News still thinks it’s a bit of a branding problem to call a bunch of Jack Russells the Scottish Terrier Racing Team, but we’d be the first to admit there have been stranger marketing success stories so we’ll just leave it at that.
We are, however, a bit confused by the first photo as those sure don’t look like Jack Russells to the Scottish Terrier and Dog News.
The Scottish Terrier and Dog News isn’t quite sure what the moral of this story is supposed to be, but it’s another slow news day and the story has a happy ending so we’re running with it.
Since she started pet detecting as a hobby last summer, Ronda Fraser of Kitchener, Ontario has worked on 40 cases, and estimates that 75 per cent of the lost pets were reunited with their owners.
“You have to think like a dog,” Ms. Fraser, who is assisted in her sleuthing by her standard poodle, told the Globe and Mail newspaper.
