When a neighbor reports a lost dog in the Ring app, nearby outdoor cameras use AI to scan for possible matches. If a match is found, that camera owner receives an alert and can optionally choose to share any related video clips with their neighbor who reported the pet missing. They'll also have an option to call the owner or send them a message, without sharing their own phone number.

Although IPWatchdog has the word "Dog" in it's name and logo, the publication is in no way associated with dogs. However, Gene and I have a shared love of dogs and have SIX German shorthaired pointers (3 sets of male/female siblings) ranging in age from 11 months to 6 years old. We love dogs so much that when we posted our first job post in 2020, one of the job "requirements" was "must love dogs" (Plural).

They have an uncanny ability to understand human cues and commands, making them easy to train. This intelligence is a boon for work-from-home individuals, as a clever companion can learn routines quickly. Imagine having a dog that understands your work schedule and respects your "do not disturb" times. Their intelligence means they can pick up on subtle cues, like when you're on a conference call, and adjust their behavior accordingly.

We're living through a strange moment where our refrigerators are smarter than ever, our thermostats learn our habits, and now, apparently, dogs can control household appliances. The Dogosophy Button, developed by researchers at The Open University's Animal-Computer Interaction Laboratory, is a wireless switch designed specifically for canine use. Think of it as a smart home device, but instead of asking Alexa, you're teaching your golden retriever.

Local News The black, wire-haired terrier mix survived below-freezing temperatures and nearly two feet of snow after being allegedly dumped in a parking lot. A dog that went missing for six days and amid one of Massachusetts' largest snowstorms in years was safely recovered Tuesday, Needham police said. The department first alerted the public Monday in a Facebook post, asking for help locating the black, wire-haired terrier mix that had allegedly been dumped Thursday in a parking lot off Dwight Road.

But if we're not prepared, panic and confusion can hinder our ability to act appropriately when they need us most. The best way to increase your chances of responding quickly and calmly is to familiarize yourself with basic pet first aid techniques. Though never a substitute for veterinary treatment, properly applied first aid can minimize a pet's trauma and even save their life until you are able to transport them to a veterinarian,

Coco, who became the store cat of Randa's Market at 16th and Valencia streets shortly after a Waymo killed KitKat in October, has leukemia and no longer calls the liquor store her home. Randa's Market owner Mike Zeidan said the veterinarian discovered leukemia during a visit to get Coco shots and spayed. After the blood cancer showed up in tests, Zeidan decided Coco needed a change of scenery.

I am in the kitchen watching the dog and the cat fight when the tortoise suddenly appears. Or to put it another way: I watched the dog and the cat fight for a while, until it became tiresome; the next time I looked up possibly 15 minutes later the tortoise was also there. That's what I mean by suddenly. In real terms, the tortoise doesn't do anything suddenly.

As I walked to meet K-9 Ultra, a five-year-old explosive-detection canine and one of the finalists of the 15th Annual American Humane Hero Dog Awards, I ran through my list of questions in my head: How do you stay so focused during a mission, even in the presence of clear environmental distractions like squirrels and birds? Do you always comply with your handler's commands? And Is that behavior transferable to my civilian dogs?

Carl Crowther, one of Nora's owners, wrote on Facebook on Wednesday evening: We are delighted to announce that she was returned home safe and well. Obviously we are over the moon with this outcome. Crowther had previously said a large part of the family's distress was due to Nora having a heart murmur that required medication. He said they are not going into details regarding her return due to ongoing investigations but he thanked people who had shared his posts or helped in any way, who he said included neighbours, strangers and his local councillors.

Leading the collection is the Oscar Dog Bed, a contemporary take on rest that treats nap time with the same importance as your own.

Residents said this dog was sweet, friendly, and calm - even with children,

Carl Crowther, 53, said that he had been expecting a package on Monday 19 January, but had been forced to leave to go to his job as a maintenance man about an hour before it arrived at approximately 2.30pm. Upon viewing the footage the next day, expecting to see the driver place the package on his doorstep, Crowther instead caught the man as he appeared to steal his cat, Nora, saying that the man comes right up the door, picks up the cat, turns around and walks off.

I grew up with cats when I was a little kid but my love of black cats began when I moved from New York to LA in 1996 and found four feral black cats in my back yard. Almost immediately, two female cats got knocked up and had two litters at the same time. Suddenly, we had 13 black cats, the most I'd ever cared for at once.

Beyonce and Kim Kardashian are some of the many who have long indulged in mini-me dressing wearing the same clothes as their children but now the trend is being extended to people's four-legged companions too. The dog clothing market is soaring and this winter it is coats that are topping the most in-demand list. Bestsellers at Pawelier, a London-based luxury pet accessories shop include a 135 four-leg puffer coat complete with a fuzzy hood and toggle detailing,

The first time I saw a Flemish giant rabbit was at TruckFest in Peterborough in 2002. Among a sprawling maze of stalls at the East of England showground, I was led into a tent filled with the biggest rabbits I'd ever laid eyes on. I'd never heard of Flemish giants before, but I knew then that I needed one. I couldn't have predicted in that moment that one of these beautiful creatures might save my life.

After I had a kid, dogs became so scary,
