For the last few years, the City of Lubbock Parks and Recreation Department has been holding the Easter Egg Hunt For Pups.

Most of us here are animal lovers and when you hear of abuse involving an animal it can make your blood boil. This is a warning of a semi-new scam that I consider abuse, abuse against those who just want a loveable four-legged friend in their lives...

Someone decided it was a good idea to abandon a dog. What they didn't know is they were being watched and recorded.

Canada's "Global News Edmonton" newscast typically features a dog from a local Humane Society that's looking for a home. On Friday, it was a massive 18-month-old mastiff mix named Ripple.

A GoPro video of a dog running into the ocean in Italy picked up a ton of hits on YouTube yesterday.

Lauren Bacall set aside $10,000 in her will for her DOG, a papillon named Sophie. She'll be cared for by Sam Robards, Lauren's son with her second husband, actor Jason Robards.

There have been far too many stories in the news this summer about parents leaving their kids in the car while they go in and shop. This is not okay! We all know that a quick trip in the store can end up being much more than that.

A retired Marine in Ohio who suffers from PTSD started having a seizure recently. And his service dog pawed at his pocket until his phone fell out. Then it chewed and stepped on the phone until it called 911. And after it did, the dog ran outside, sat on the curb, and waited for the ambulance to get there.

A homeless guy in Brazil checked into a hospital late last month after someone hit him in the face with a ROCK. And it actually turned out to be a good thing, because doctors realized he also had SKIN CANCER and removed it. But the real story is his dog . . . for over two weeks, it's been sitting outside the hospital WAITING for him. Luckily hospital staff noticed, and they've been feeding it. They also let the two visit for a few minutes the other day, and there's video of it online.

A video of a dog jumping around on a bed while its owners aren't home is making the rounds online. According to the video, the dog isn't allowed to be up there. So when he's all by himself in the house, he takes full advantage of it.

Earlier this year, a boxer puppy named Duncan was born in the Seattle area with deformed back legs. There was no way to fix it, so when he was 12 weeks old, both of his back legs were amputated.

I'm not one to say the FIX IS IN, but can we get an independent committee to investigate what happened this weekend at the World's Ugliest Dog Contest in California? Because something doesn't smell right here.
