The Derby Telegraph reports:

A puppy that was horribly mutilated by suspected dog-fight organisers has been rehomed after a couple saw its picture in the Derby Telegraph.

The four-month-old West Highland terrier cross – named Tabs by rescuers – was found in a box in a filthy, mangled state dumped in a country lane in Chellaston.

Scottie News is happy to report that the puppy who was scared stiff of people and other dogs when he was first rescued is now ruling his new roost.

Congrats to all our Chelsea-supporting Brit readers.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, Bridget got a major workout yesterday when she encountered this plane at the park. Even though it was hot and she had just had a long walk with plenty of ball-chasing, she ran around like a crazy dog  trying to catch it. It was better than having a personal trainer. And I’m trying to figure out if the novelty would wear off if I were to buy one to keep her in shape.

Anyone had any experience with exercising their dog with a radio-controlled plane?

1. Door County Scottie Rally is this weekend

Read more about the history of this Wisconsin gathering and how it all began:

The concept of the Scottie Rally began in the winter of 2000 shortly after our first Scottish Terrier, Shayna McPunim Bronsky, was diagnosed with bladder cancer at the age of almost twelve. While ambivalent, Michele Bronsky started making phone calls to start finding a connection for potential breeders.

Because of Shayna’s diagnosis and uncertainty regarding the course of her illness, we decided to gather people together in Door County to celebrate the lives of Scotties. It was the best decision we ever made! The friendships we developed through that first event sustained us during the last few months of Shayna’s life and have been lifesaving to us after her passing. Just like each of our Scotties…the people who care for them are just as special!

Sniffer dog nabs smuggler hiding heroin in rectum

Reuters reports: ” A man who tried to smuggle heroin into the United States concealed in his rectum was caught by U.S. officials – with the help of a drug-sniffer dog named Malone – as he walked across the border from Mexico.”

Reuters also chose this rather peculiar photo from U.S. Customs and Border Protection to accompany the article.

A package of heroin weighing just under five ounces

Hmmm, Scottie News doubts wonders if the alleged smuggler got bitten in the butt whether it would lead to an insurance claim. Read more
