FOWLERVILLE — A mastiff mix dog killed a smaller Yorkie May 28 and the mastiff's owner may face charges, police said in a press release. The Fowlerville Police Department said "criminal action was taken by LCAC against the owners of the mastiff" and the police department will submit the case to the Livingston County Prosecutor's Office to consider charges. The release did not specify with what the mastiff owner may be charged.

Orlando, Florida Reas, a male white-and-blonde whippet, bolted ahead of the competition to win the second-annual Fastest Dog USA competition. The three-year-old ran a 100-yard dash in 5.769 seconds or 35.45 miles per hour. That's 0.5777 of a second faster than last year's winner, Phelan, a mixed-breed rescue dog whose winning time was 6.346 seconds, or 32.3 miles per hour. This year, 250 dogs from 154   breeds competed—more than double the number of competitors in last year's inaugural race. Phelan's attempting to defend his title resulted in a fifth-place finish, with a time of 6.485 seconds. The American Kennel Club calls this contest the Fast CAT Invitational—short for coursing ability test.

For Fast CAT, each dog competes in two categories at preliminary trials, held earlier this week. The first, the Pure Speed category, which recognizes ...

Leash reactivity refers to when dogs unexpectedly lash out at other dogs, people, bikes, or cars while on the leash. This can be scary for everyone involved, especially because it can happen with even the sweetest of dogs. We caught up with dog trainer Rachel Drachman (CPDT-KA), who weighed in on what causes leash reactivity. Before getting started with training, she says, it's important to empathize with your anxious pup.

This guide explains about the measles, mumps and rubella ( MMR ) vaccination which helps protect against the 3 diseases. People who have not been vaccinated with 2 doses of MMR vaccine are more likely to catch these diseases. Children do become ill when they catch them, but so do adults. All 3 diseases can be very serious. They can make adults very ill and cause problems for women who are pregnant and people who have weakened immune systems (and can't fight infection well). Measles is a serious illness that is highly infectious. To be protected from measles and other infections including mumps and rubella, you need to be immunised with 2 doses of MMR vaccine. Measles Measles is caused by a very infectious virus causing a rash and high fever and can be very serious. The illness can be more severe in adults and can last for longer. Someone with measles usually has to spend about 5 days in bed and may be off school or work for 10 days. Adults are also at higher r...

Pacific Northwest researchers will soon begin enrolling 3,500 children and adults to participate in a study to assess how well COVID-19 vaccines protect against infection in the community. The CASCADIA study is being jointly led by the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle and the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Oregon. The study is funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While individuals ages 6 months to 49 years will be included in the study, the primary goal of the study is to assess how well COVID-19 vaccines protect children ages 5 to 18 years. Researchers will also evaluate infections among all participants, young and old, vaccinated and unvaccinated, to better understand the role that viral variants have in infection and the effect of risk factors, such as age, health status and sociodemographic characteristics. Testing will also be done for flu and other viruses. "This information will be vital...

A K-9 behavioral training expert is educating parents to spot the signs of "resource guarding" in their dogs—a behavior that could be putting a baby's life in danger. Resource guarding is when a dog uses aggressive, anxious or avoidant behaviors to "guard" an item they value. This can include rushing towards an object to prevent others from touching it, as well as running away with, hiding or blocking the item. They can also display aggressive behaviors, such as growling, flashing their teeth or biting. Stock photo of a dog with a sleeping baby resting on its back. It may look like protection, but it can be dangerous if your dog starts to "resource guard" your baby. steever/iStock/Getty Images Plus However, some people mistake these actions for protective ones, believing that their pet wants to keep their baby safe rather than harm it. In a series of videos shared to TikTok, accredited trainer Jacqui Zakar (@dogsense) explains why this behavior i...

One of my favorite things about summer evenings in Mid-Michigan is that the temperatures are (usually) very comfortable. We've got a patio set in the yard. I brushed off a cushion the other night, ready to have a seat and just relax. The relaxation didn't last long. What should have been a tranquil evening watching the sun go down turned into a swat-fest. Some people call them gnats, some people call them biting midges or no-see-ums. Whatever they are, they're annoying... and I spent the rest of the night plotting their end as a species. At least in my yard. Here are some things I learned: EatYourBackyard via Youtube EatYourBackyard via Youtube loading... Citronella is our friend. These pesky flying-biting machines hate it. Some people like to burn citronella candles when they're outside. While that can be somewhat effective, having actual citronella plants outside can repel these bugs from the area 24/7, even when you're not trying to enjoy the outdoors yourself. T...

When you think of dog behaviors, you may picture catching a ball or walking on a leash. But more than 70 percent of the world's dogs aren't pets. They're free-ranging creatures, typically living around people without being part of any human family. Biologists Sreejani Sen Majumder, Ankita Chatterjee, and Anindita Bhadra set out to figure out what these dogs do all day in India. The researchers note that the Indian Native dog (aka Indian pariah dog) generally lives on the streets, surviving on human charity and garbage. They live either singly or in small groups, anywhere from big cities to the edges of forests. They have wolf-like faces, patchy coats, and short fur. The female dogs typically have one litter a year, either in spring or fall, but less than half of pups survive to adulthood. To figure out what these dogs' days are like, Majumder, Chatterjee, and Bhadra observed street dogs on several occasions between 2008 and 2011, looking at three different urban are...

A puppy is a big commitment. They bring love and joy to your home and family, but need a lot of attention. Puppies have no experience of the outside world so they need to be properly trained in order to become friendly adult dogs. Training a puppy requires consistency and patience, but with the right guidance it can be achieved within a few months. Veterinarians and dog behavior experts stress the importance of not punishing your puppy when it misbehaves. So, how do you train your little furry friend? What Is the Most Effective Way to Discipline a Puppy? Amanda Gagnon, a dog trainer from New York City, told Newsweek that when people ask about how to discipline a dog, what they really mean is how to stop the animal exhibiting some problematic behavior. The best way to discipline your puppy is to reward them when they show desirable behavior in that context. "Someone might want to know how to discipline their dog when he barks at the sound of the doorbell. To improve that problem, ...

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Ashlyn Walton is an avid dog lover and a dog mom herself. Colt was freshly enrolled at Off Leash K9 of Huntsville for four days until she was emailed a certain video involving franchise owner Ciara Stevens. "I was watching it and it just... My anxiety went through the roof. It was horrible," Walton said. "And I felt completely helpless, I felt so sad, I immediately got in my car, called my dad, called the facility and said I'm coming to pick up my dog. This is not okay." Owners are regularly emailed videos of their pets being trained, but this was sent in error to Walton. She then uploaded it to Facebook. After Colt was brought home, Walton noticed something was different. "He would not leave my side, he was sensitive around his neck, he had sores on his leg, I figured maybe that was from being in a crate, I don't know," she continued. "But I could definitely tell the difference in him and it was terrifying to think a...
