Happy barks to the FDA officials who stepped up and did their jobs by stopping Nutro’s tainted food.

Hi Joy,
I thought it would be nice for everyone to hear about a ball player who shares our love of dogs. Chase Utley and his wife Jennifer - a SPCA volunteer, will be handling all medical expenses for a dog that was attacked and tortured in Philadelphia by a gang of 8 or so men who are still on the loose.

I’m getting really tired of hearing how Pit Bull type dogs are bred for fighting so they are toooo dangerous to have around other dogs even if they’ve never, ever been abused in that way. Pit Bull poo!!! Check out Wallace! He, like the other fabulous disc-catching dogs, is amazing! I’m looking forward to meeting Wallace some day!
