“Dog Dogs” is a collection of photographs by the American photo-journalist Elliott Erwitt, photographs about Erwitt’s love of man’s best friend. Erwitt sees the dignity of the ankle-high Chihuahua; the anxiety of the homeless hound; the patience of the pom-pommed poodle; and the matchless joy of the homely but well-loved pug. In his vast range of sentiment, and in his easygoing but precise mastery of the abstract elements of composition, Elliott Erwitt is an acute observer of the canine world.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution photographs, a documentary short film and a funny Elliott Erwitt Flicktoon, “Sexy Bikinis on the Beach.”

A dog who was left for dead is up and walking around now after being rescued by a Good Samaritan.
"Old Yeller" was found lying along side a road, presumably hit by a car and unable to even lift his head. Once at the Animal Defense League they realized he hadn't been hit by car, but instead has severe arthritis.
After two weeks of treatment, he's now moving around on his own.
"Little by little, he got up," said Emily King of the Animal Defense League. "He can walk out to the yard by himself, and he can walk into the run by himself."
The Animal Defense League says Old Yeller is already helping other dogs. He donated blood that saved another dog's life.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is accusing a teenager of having sex with his dog in an act caught on videotape, and Monday he was arrested on charges of child pornography as well.
Justin Sharp, of Palm Beach Gardens, is being held in jail on $10,000 bond. Police say he had sex with his four-year-old German Shepherd and also possibly with his 8-year-old German Shepherd, when Sharp was only 17-years-old.
Deputy Sheriff Eric Davis is deeply disturbed by the case.
"The animals can't speak, they can't call 911, this is case of a human being taking advantage of an animal that can't defend himself," said Davis.
Investigators also said in a police report Monday that they found videos on a computer belonging to the teen, who is now 18, displaying young girls performing sexual acts with grown men.
According to detectives, Sharp admitted to making the video, but said he only had one encounter with the dog. However, his mother testified that her son had sex four times with the dog. Mother and son live together in a townhouse.
Detectives said they had reason to believe an eight-year-old German Sheppard was also abused, so they took away both dogs and two cats.
Sharp's case first surfaced in April when deputies raided his home and seized computers.
Neighbors are shocked.
"I'm kind of surprised….I am very sad," said neighbor Adrian Miguenz.
On Monday he was charged with one count of cruelty to animals, two counts of promoting sexual performance by a child and seven counts of possessing photographs of sexual performance by a child.
It's not known when Sharp's mother is going to be able to post bond for her son. A county judge has permanently barred both of them from ever owning animals again.The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is accusing a teenager of having sex with... more

A Rottweiler has helped rescue a two-year-old South African boy who was being attacked by a pit bull terrier.
The pit bull mauled Tshepang Taeli as he was walking with his grandmother in Oakdene, south of Johannesburg.
Even though residents came to the boy's rescue and tried to kick and beat the dog, it would not let go of the child and dragged it down the road. One of the neighbours, Ricky Veludo, came to help and then went to fetch his dog, Blade: "He fought the other dog to free the child."
The boy was then rushed to hospital where he is recovering from bites to his face, legs and stomach. "I have never felt so much pain in my life. The dog was attacking him and I was trying to release him and I could not," the boy's grandmother stated.A Rottweiler has helped rescue a two-year-old South African boy who was being attacked... more

Excerpt:
Ordinary household dogs with only a few weeks of basic "puppy training" learned to accurately distinguish between breath samples of lung- and breast-cancer patients and healthy subjects.
"Our study provides compelling evidence that cancers hidden beneath the skin can be detected simply by [dogs] examining the odors of a person's breath," said Michael McCulloch, who led the research.
Early detection of cancers greatly improves a patient's survival chances, and researchers hope that man's best friend, the dog, can become an important tool in early screening.
The new study, slated to appear in the March issue of the journal Integrative Cancer Therapies, was conducted by the Pine Street Foundation, a cancer research organization in San Anselmo, California.
Why doesn't the medical community try to verify and implement appropriate testing for patients with elusive diagnosis? Excerpt:

An eight-year-old dog has touched the hearts of Argentines by saving the life of an abandoned baby, placing him safely alongside her own new puppies.
The country's media are calling him "the miracle baby".
He was born prematurely to a 14-year-old girl in a shanty town outside the capital, Buenos Aires.
She is said to have panicked and abandoned the boy in a field, surrounded by wooden boxes and rubbish.
Then along came La China, reports say, the dog which somehow picked up the baby and carried her 50m to place him alongside her own puppies.
The dog's owner reported hearing the child crying and finding him covered with a rag.
The baby, weighing 4kg (8lb 13oz), had some slight injuries, but no bite marks.
Owner's concern
The owner called the police and the child is now being looked after by the authorities, while a decision is taken about his future.
The frightened mother appeared shortly after her baby was found.
The Argentine media has descended on the shanty town, talking of "the Argentine Romulus and Remus", the founders of Rome, abandoned as babies and rescued by a wolf, nearly 3,000 years ago.
La China, worried about her own puppies, is reported to be petrified by her new found fame, and her owner says he is worried that she is not eating.An eight-year-old dog has touched the hearts of Argentines by saving the life of an... more
