Dogster Samantha was stolen from her home in Brooklyn, New York! The evil thieves broke in and all they took was Samantha and her carrier! Sounds to me like the break-in was FOR Samantha.
Samantha’s family is heartsick and offering a $1000 reward. If you know anyone who might know where this little Dogster is, please help get her home!
Aren’t Dogsters and Catsters just the best?!?!? I know you probably get tired of me saying that (I don’t) but it’s soooooo true! We know Dogsters and Catsters are there to support each other in bad times. Look at the Chapel of Hope Dogster Odysseus set up in the Dog Park PlayGround and Pawty Place.
Welcome to the Chapel of Hope!
We welcome all our members to come in and have a look around.

Csaba Monar barked in to tell us about what looks to be a truly ground-breaking scientific conference in Budapest, Huangary this July. If I could, I’d be there for this! If You know of anyone working in any area of canine sciences, please pass this on to them.
The Department of Ethology, Eötvös Loránd University and Department of Neurobiology and Cognition Research, University of Vienna are organizing the first Canine Science Forum 2008 conference which will be held in Budapest, between 5-9 July, next year. The website of conference is available at this link.
We strongly feel that there is a need for an interdisciplinary forum that brings together scientists with different expertise on Canines who wish to share their research interests with fellow colleagues working on closely or more distantly related fields. This forum aims to substantiate canine biology in order to develop it as a major model of biological investigations.

One of Vick’s pit bulls now helping children and seniors in South Bay
By Linda Goldston
Mercury News
Article Launched: 01/30/2008
He faced a life of fighting, a cruel death by hanging or drowning if he couldn’t make it in the pit.
Now he brings smiles to children, tears of joy to seniors.
Leo, one of 50 pit bulls confiscated from former NFL star Michael Vick’s dog fighting kennel, has a new leash on life, thanks to a South Bay rescue group.
He also has a new job: He’s been transformed into a therapy dog. Instead of risking his life in a dog fight, he will help fight the fear and loneliness of children and seniors in hospitals and convalescent homes.

I’m blogging about this for those of you who found the blog through Google or because someone sent you a link. I hope you’ll come back, so I want to let you know how to find us again.
