Calling them the Hollywood “years” may be stretching it, but Willy the Pug is definitely enjoying his Hollywood days.
My daughter, Mikkel Becker Shannon, and I are in Los Angeles talking to producers about a possible new television show. We brought along our number one spokespug, Mikkel’s dog Willy. We figured we can’t resist him, so [...]

A judge today ruled that if Spork, the 10-year-old dachshund who bit a Colorado vet tech, is a good boy for the next six months, the vicious-dog charges against him will be dropped.
So as long as he doesn’t harm anyone — and he doesn’t exactly appear to be Cujo — the end of his family’s [...]

Everyone who has a dog and a camera has probably experienced the problems that come when you put the two of them together. You may have the cutest dog ever, but no matter what you do, he inevitably ends up with glowing red or green eyes, or blurry, or looking like he got into the [...]

Pretty cool dog-training, absolutely. But I gotta wonder: Do people in England recognize that’s the theme from “Hawaii 5-0″? Also: Do you get extra points for wearing shorts in March? When I was at Crufts a few years back, it was freeeeezzzzinggggg.

Aren’t we all tired of dogs seized in fighting busts being treated as dangerous ravening beasts instead of victims of cruelty who deserve, at the very least, to be evaluated as individuals? Bad Rap is reporting that the Kent County Humane Society in Michigan got tired of it, too — and decided to go to [...]

The noses have it. Yesterday, I blogged about bomb-sniffing dogs. Today, it’s bedbug-sniffing dogs. Both are heroic to humans. While bomb sniffers save lives, bedbug sniffers save sanity.
With good training, bedbug-sniffing dogs are amazingly accurate: The best of them can detect a single egg or live bug 96 percent of the time, reports a fun [...]

The Navy is blaming a private security contractor for badly neglecting dozens of dogs being trained as bomb-sniffers. Three of the 49 dogs died, and the rest were in very poor health, according to an article in the The Virginian-Pilot.
The dogs were dirty and weak, and so emaciated that their ribs and hip bones jutted [...]

Don’t be alarmed! Bizarre as it may look, the photo above is really just gentle Jake with a “nerd mouth.” If you click here or on the photo, you can see and hear him talk. It’s quite amusing, and his accent confirms my suspicions that he has a little English Labrador retriever in him.
You, too, [...]

The earth?s vegetation is part of a web of life in which there are intimate and essential relations between plants and animals. Sometimes we have no choice but to disturb these relationships, but we should do so thoughtfully, with full awareness that what we do may have consequences remote in [...]

We tore across the grassy scrubland, as much as one can tear across grassy scrubland. Our top speed was probably 40 kilometers per hour, a little slower when there were obstacles in our way.
Who knew that I would find a DogCar to write about in Botswana? Except this one is not for hauling dogs to [...]

This just in from Nature’s Variety:
Nature’s Variety has expanded its voluntary recall of Chicken Formula Raw Frozen Diets for dogs and cats to include the “Best If Used By” dates of 10/29/10 and 11/9/10 because these products may be contaminated with Salmonella. (Dogster wrote about the original recall alert in February.)
The recall includes the following [...]

After hearing what Dr. Laura D. Garrett of the University of Illinois had to say about Palladia at last month’s Western Veterinary Conference, I realized there’s more to the story than the fact that this is the first drug approved in the United States to treat canine cancer.
Palladia (toceranib phosphate) is what’s known as a [...]

And I thought this might be a quiet week.? Last week we had the tootsiebell who tossed a puppy out into oncoming traffic.? This week we have another woman who is a total abomination.? Maria Aguilar of Queens, New York has been arrested on charges of beating a dog so badly that the animal is [...]
Imagine enjoying cleaning up so much! Every house needs a dog (or human) like Grace. You go, girl!
A big tail wag to Dogster Nancy Aingworth, who sniffs out all things Golden Retriever while looking for items for her wonderful website, Lovable Golden Retriever. She found this one on Land of Pure Gold.

You don’t have to be a dog lover to fall for the Dodobongo USB toy. You just have to like oddball things that connect to your computer and serve no purpose other than to be rather entertaining. (Kind of like my keyboard, some days…)
Dodobongo, according to his website, is 21, and the slowest-moving dog in [...]

When Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori first launched DogCars.com as an offspring to PetConnection.com, they set out to inform, educate and enlighten dog lovers about the dog-friendly differences in vehicles on the market today. Then, at the end of the first year, DogCars.com sorted through all its research to come up with a DogCar [...]

Study: Removal of ovaries could affect lifespan. A potentially groundbreaking study examined aging in Rottweilers. ? The work by a team led by Dr. David Waters of Purdue, published in the December 2009 issue of the journal Aging Cell, strongly indicates that the length of time a dog retains her ovaries is directly linked to [...]

I recently ran across this video and knew I had to share it with my fellow Dogsters. “Dogs in Art” is stunning, and deserves to go viral. I wanted to know the story behind the video so I could give Dogsters a little extra insight. So I located its creator, Moira McLaughlin, and asked her [...]

Nice work? again this week, Dogster. There were lots? and lots of worthy submissions but Macenzy nailed it by cleverly referencing both Michael Vick and Toyota in the same entry. The 50 Zealies are yours. Spend them well.
Another contest is on it’s way tomorrow.

These two dogs are really having a fun time sleeping. With a cot that comfortable, we would be sleeping like that too.

This doggy is having fun sky diving! Look at his face, do you think he’s scared? We know we would be if we had to jump out of a plane!

This doggy just took a plunge, and now he has to shake it to get dry. Someone please tell him that towels are a more effective method!

The Marines have 58 bomb dogs in Afghanistan. Fifty-seven get right out there and do their jobs with stunning enthusiasm. But one is so badly riddled by the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder that he had to sit out the offensive in the Central Helmand Province.

The Evening Star reports on a fowl case of murder and mayhem:

I’m not adverse to the creation of new dog breeds; after all, many of the most popular breeds today were created by crossing other existing breeds. The Doberman Pinscher is said to be a cross of Rottweiler, Manchester Terrier, Greyhound, a now extinct form of a German shepherd dog, and a pinscher, to name just [...]

When Bella turned 14 in January, I was hopeful yet cautious. She has clearly slowed down over the past year, spending the majority of her time sleeping under my desk but still eating enthusiastically, going out for short walks and going up the stairs on her own if I didn’t immediately whisk her up in [...]

Sometimes it’s a good idea just to stop and think. Think big thoughts, think little ones, think hopeful thoughts, think lists. Or just think about nothing at all. Happy Thoughtful Thursday! (Thank you to Billy B for sniffing out this inspirational dog and thinking enough of Dogster to send it to [...]

This just in from MSNBC. Rescue workers found a puppy alive in a collapsed house in quake-ravaged Constitucion, Chile. In these AP photos, rescuer Cristian Velasquez scurries the pup out of the rubble and to safety. He gave him comfort, and “bits of food and water,” according to MSNBC. Here’s hoping his owners are OK, [...]
