Instead of paying extra “pet fees” to hotels or airlines, (a lot of travellers are) spiriting their animal companions into their bags or under blankets in the hope of saving a few bucks. They also are bending the truth when it comes to their pets, said Ami Moore, a Chicago-based canine behaviorist. One wealthy client recently offered Moore $10,000 to “certify” her dog as a service animal, which would have given the animal a free ride. She refused.
Hmmm. It’s that classic economic truth. Raise prices unfairly high and you create a black market.
And what exactly is a”non-refundable deposit” if not a contradiction in terms?
Thieves thought to be stealing to order are dog-napping valuable pedigree West Highland terriers across Telford, it has been claimed.
A number of owners have fallen victim to the thieves and, as yet, none of the dogs have been recovered. It is thought young, un-neutered dogs are on the thieves’ shopping list and are then being used for breeding.
It’s not Scottie news, but it’s the latest viral dog video to cause an international sensation. Just in case you haven’t seen it already, we’re calling it to your attention. Ironically, Winston, the badass, bumper-destroying dog, lives at a welding shop. His family, who can be seen in the TV news video below, is also completely normal and down to earth, not at all the type of people you would expect to own a junkyard dog so to speak.
Update: I have removed the embedded video of the trampolining boxer and replaced it with this link. As was helpfully pointed out in the comments, the video started automatically, which is a giant pain. —————-
To tell you the truth, I am really more interested in whether J.D. Salinger left behind a desk full of unpublished novels, as frequent rumour has had it, than I am in whether or not he had a dog, but this is the Scottish Terrier and Dog News not the Scottish Terrier and Book News so we have scoured the web to try and discover the author’s history of canine ownership. Here’s the scoop:
There (was) what Time called the “coy fraudulence” of the “throwaway self-interview” published only on the first edition jacket-flap of Franny & Zooey, which ends with “My wife has asked me to add, however, in a single explosion of candour, that I live in Westport with my dog.” This had led Time to thunder: “The dark facts are that he has not lived in Westport or had a dog for years.” Time was right on the Westport part but Salinger must have been amused when weeks later Life carried a photograph of, what it claimed was the Salinger family dog. So here’s a man who, as JDS’ absolutely unauthorised biographer Ian Hamilton sums up, left “America’s two wealthiest and most resouceful news magazines unable to agree on the matter of whether or not he owned a dog.”
If your Scottie runs off, you can use your smart phone (or computer) to find your pet quickly. You'll even get a text message alerting you if your dog escapes.
