We’ve all heard stories of dogs who saved their families from fire or who detected a serious illness or even those dogs who can sense when a person is about to have a seizure. Turns out it’s not just a canine trait. Check out this story from the Huffington Post
Amy Jung and her son Ethan stopped into The Humane Society near their home in Wisconsin to play with the cats, but one feline — a 21-pound cat named Pudding — stood out to the pair. They made an impulsive decision to adopt him and his friend Wimsy. That same night, Jung, who has had diabetes since childhood, started having a diabetic seizure in her sleep. That’s when Pudding sprang into action. The fast-acting feline sat on Jung’s chest in an attempt to wake her up and when that didn’t work, he nudged and nipped her face until she briefly returned to consciousness. In that moment, Jung was able to call out to Ethan, but he couldn’t hear her calls. Luckily, Pudding darted into Ethan’s room and pounced on the bed until he woke up and was able to call for help.
Now that’s some cat!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
What sweet dogs. Millie was rescued from a landfill where she had been dumped. After getting her checked by a vet, her rescuers took her back to the landfill where she helped them rescue her friend, a dog who had never had any human contact in the three years since he was born at the landfill.

We’ve posted a couple of stories about Mitt Romney sticking his dog in a rooftop car carrier for the family’s trip to Canada. This story, although relatively old news, was in the headlines for quite awhile. What do you think? Does the way a man treats his dog affect how you feel about him for President?

Somehow I totally missed this controversy last week – I think I was suffering from lack of sleep and excitement overload over the Westminster show.
