22 New Year’s resolution for dogs. If the Scottish Terrier and Dog News had to pick just one that we would like to see kept, it would definitely be number 11.

Notorious Scottish Terrier disser and Russian Preident Vladimir Putin is going to have his labrador retriever, Connie (aka Koni) outfitted with a “satnav” collar so that he can monitor her every movement. No word yet on whether Tosya the poodle will get the same treatment.

Pet dog sniffs out drug stash

Hmmm, the Scottie News notices that the police aren’t giving out any information as to the identity of the pet dog who sniffed out the drug stash. Maybe they’re worried about irate drug dealers taking revenge on an innocent canine.

Vladimir Putin poodle Tosya dog
The Scottish Terrier and Dog News cannot believe that the notorious Scottie dog disser Vladimir Putin has been named Time magazine’s man of the year. We have not had time to study the rationale yet, but we are not happy. Here’s the background on Putin’s dog issues, including his insuts of Barney, the White House Scottish Terrier. And here is the artist Chapati Mystery’s interpretation of Putin with Poodle.

Greyhound rescuers pose nude

in Other dog news, Rescue


These days, you’re nobody if you haven’t done a naked calendar so it’s not all that surprising that greyhound rescuers doffed their clothes to produce a 2008 calendar, the proceeds of which will go to support Greyhound rescue. You can order a calendar and see more photos of nude women with dogs here.

Scottish Terrier rescuers, what do you think? Maybe next year? In the mean time, we’ll continue our series of scantily clad women with Scottie dogs by offering up this peek of an item available on EBay.

A New York Times special investigative report:

Difficult guests are no longer limited to humans. The boundaries between humans and animals have been so eaten away by pet therapists, pet designer outfits and pet bar mitzvahs, that it has reached a point where devoted owners, who treat their animals as privileged children, lose all perspective on the pet’s role in their social lives.

More American households have pets than ever — 68.7 million of them in 2006, according to a new survey by the American Veterinary Medical Association, up 12.4 percent from 2001.

First we had the Bush and Barney video with — SPOILER ALERT — a special guest appearance by none other than Tony Blair. And now we’ve got another major piece of pop culture news involving a world leader and his dog: a brand new acrylic of Scottish Terrrier-dissing Russian President Vladimir Putin with his secret poodle. The back story can be found here and here. More acrylics from the artist here at Flickr.

Enjoy life on the other side of the fence, Mike. The roles are reversed now.

(Sincere apologies to those of you who can’t get beyond the black humour of this photo)
