U.S. Military Mascot Comes to the United
States
Captain John Smathers
Captain John Smathers returned
from Iraq with a broken arm, a wrecked knee and a chest full of
medals. He is one of the most decorated soldiers involved in removing
Saddam from power. During his tour, he thwarted a bank robbery
and recovered stolen artwork. 
When
he returned to the United States, he was determined to complete
one final mission; to rescue Scout, a dog he met in Baghdad a
year prior.
You might think bringing the loyal dog back to the U.S. might be easy for a soldier that fought so diligently in the name of America. Not so. Hear this great story of Scout.
Dog Dancing
Emily Yoffe, What The Dog Did
Emily discovered the world of canine freestyle
(you could call it "dog dancing" but just not in front
of anyone who does it) one night while watching an episode of
the cartoon King of the Hill, in which Hank Hill and his
beloved bloodhound, Ladybird, entered the vicious world of competitive
dog dancing. It suddenly dawned on her, they were not making
this up. She eventually enrolled both herself and her dog Sasha,
but they never actually "dog danced." Find out why.
Finding Love When You Own a Pet
Sheryl Matthys, Leashes & Lovers
Finding love is hard enough. Finding love when you own a pet
can be even harder. Single pet owners realize that finding someone
who is equally excited about them as Fido is when they come home,
ain't always "a walk in the park." Creator and Co-Host
Sheryl Matthys thinks she can resolve those issues with a show
called "Heads
or Tails," a half hour reality pet lovers dating show.
Each episode will be action packed from doggie yoga to pet tricks
and even a catfight or two between spurned pet owners. Getting
someone to accept and love you is one thing having them love and
accept your pet is another.
Avian Flu - Can Your Pets Catch It?
Merritt Clifton, Animal People
Currently, the Avian Flu is not a problem in the United States.
It does not spread person to person, and is not a threat to our
pets. The Avian Flu (H5N1) has been around since 1996 in Asia,
and has claimed only 65 people. These people were in close proximity
to birds, such as those who worked with poultry, those that shared
their home with fowl, or those that were involved in cockfighting.
Tune in for more facts about the Avian flu.
What Your Dog Can Teach You About Living
a Happy Life
Matt Weinstein, Dogs Don't Bite When a Growl Will Do
If you have ever truly observed a dog, then you
know there is much we can learn from them. Have you ever noticed
how dogs are happy much of the time? The little things don't
seem to bother them. Try spending a day acting like a dog, and
see what a difference it makes to you and those around you. Dogs
have a natural quality called "Mudita" which means "Joy
in the joy of others." And the most important thing a dog
can teach you is to be selfless with your love.
Inmates Welcome Cats Orphaned by Katrina
Britt Savage
Prison is a refuge for about two
dozen cats displaced by Hurricane Katrina, a place filled with
women happy to be able to soothe away their trauma and fear.
Four Pocahontas Correctional Unit inmates have been caring for
the cats since they made the cramped 20-hour truck ride last month
from an overwhelmed Mississippi shelter. The women see it as a
chance to help not only the abandoned pets, but also the hurricane
relief effort and even themselves. "They've had a long journey,"
said inmate Wendy Brickey, 45, her eyes brimming with tears. "I
get the chance to make it OK."

Lost Dog Catches Train Home Alone
A black
Labrador called Archie, who got separated from his owner at a
remote Scottish railway station, amazed his distraught master
by simply jumping aboard the first train home all by himself.
Not only did Archie catch the right train, he got off at the
right station almost 20 miles away. Closed-circuit television
footage shows the dog waiting for his master at the station before
watching the Aberdeen to Inverness train pull in. Apparently,
Archie decided to avoid the long walk home by simply hopping on
board and getting off at the right stop.
