On the bright side though. Its good to see they managd to survive the flood. Hopefully they can be reunited!

Just looked for it. I cant find it at all.

Its possible that the thread has expired, from no one posting in it, and is no longer available.

You could always start a new one?

;)

Do you know how old the man was?

Can this be moved to the cruelty and animal abuse section please.

Some of us really don't thrive on seeing these horrible things, so please keep them in the section that is for those who find it interesting and want to think, read about it and discuss it.

This topic was actually featured in "In The News" before it was split into two. I just searched for the topic & added my comment.

I don't think it's good that they show this sort of thing on the news. what can the public learn from it? not to do it? that should be obvious.

i don't think theres much chance of a copycat attack like there was with the cat in the bin. showing cat in the bin on the news was stupid as any nutter can copy that

You do have a point there. However, often when the media allow these stories to be spread worldwide, it often ends in the person responsible being recognised and prosecuted.

For instance: The girl that threw the puppies into the river, was found, due to the massive amount of media attention.

Snow Wolf, greyhounds are not muzzled because they are "likely to bite someone" - it is because some can and do exhibit very high predatory behaviour. I have a greyhound at home who would never, in a million years, pass GAP as she is in no way safe around small dogs.

I just dont agree with any breed being singled out. Any breed of dog can exhibit any behaviour, it usually comes down to the kind of environment, and training it has grown up in.

;) I hate people who dont keep their dogs in their yard!

My understanding is that you intend to travel at 50-100 km per hour - not per day..... Is this correct.....?

To fast..... thats for sure.

I have travelled 20-30 km in a day with a dog following on horseback on a regular basis. This is a great distance and the dogs are easy and relaxed. However on horses they would be working at a mix of walking pace at about 6 km/h a trotting pace at about 10 km/h and then canter for short distances at about 12-14 km/h.

Even a fit dog will have trouble travelling at 14km/h for long distances.

Zeping did say on a bicycle... So i highly doubt its going to be 100km per hour ;)

Our sibes race at speeds around 30km/h, but that is for distances ranging 2km - 10km.

50km, is a VERY long distance for a dog to be travelling.

I wouldnt really do anything more than 10 - 15km distance at speeds ranging from 10 - 15km/h. And of course, you shouldnt do that if the temperature is anywhere above 15 degrees C.

Wow, you can really see it in his eyes!

Lots of love, and im sure he will cheer up ;)

Happy Birthday Charlie!

Might i ask, why he wasnt going to make it to his 2nd b'day?

I definitely wouldn't recommend having an unfenced dog.

Even if it does stay on the property. It only takes 1 time for it to have a wander, and either get hit by a road train, shot by a neighbour, or eat some poison. So many things that could go wrong.

How is a phone going to be loud enough to scare some wolves???

You werent forced to click the link :D

Is there video of it landing? Yeah its cruel... Morbid curiosity

Good to see he is ok. Was quite a suspenseful read!

Thats cool!

Same problem. Especially when its hot. She splashes the water onto her belly to keep cool.

Zero (who is actually Zero Armadeus Apollo) gets Z, Z-puppy, monster, munchkin, pup, puppy, poopy, Oi, doofus, fatty, fatty boombah, fatty boombalamutt, horrible dog, fat mutt, goggie, woof, woofy and smelly. I sound so horrible when I call him half of those things

He mostly gets called Z (Zee) but he gets Zero Armadeus when he's in trouble (or about to do something he knows is wrong).

:D

Welcome. Love the pups!

Welcome. Love the pups!

That is a very rash statement to say every racing greyhound is fine because it's just not true.

I said every racing grey, i have come across... That hardly covers all in existence.

Not another snake bite!! How sad, so many dogs recently being killed by snakes!

Towser looks like a great fellow, I am really sorry for your loss.

I have a stuffed toy dog that I was given when I was about 6 months old (so he is 51 years old) and he is called Towser.

RIP Towser!

We just had a red belly hiding inside our wall the other day. Luckily we found it though. Our neighbours dog recently passed, from a snake bite too. There really does seem to be a massive increase in the snake population...

R.I.P Towser

"Solo" the basenji, will come to "Brown Dog".

Whats wrong with just using a regular pooper scooper, like the ones they have placed around at dog shows?

Each to their own i say.

I have also known of people who bump the price up a little bit if selling to someone they dont completely know, especially for a pet (non showing) home, and offer a percentage of cash back if they later prove that the dog has been desexed.

Im unbiased with the removal of dew claws. However one of mine did rip his out, and i can say. It really was extremely messy, and painful.
