A Cloned Dog


A British woman loves her 14 year old dog Winnie so much that she has had her cloned.  The procedure produced a puppy she called Mini Winnie.

Rebecca won a competition to have the procedure done in Korea.  It would normally cost around €80,000.

The puppy is now a healthy 2 year old dog.

Most people have read and know about Assistance or Service Dogs for the Blind.


Assistance Dogs in training for Autistic Children
But there are also Assistance dogs or Service Dogs for children with Autism and Aspergers Syndrome.

There are amazing videos of these dogs at work with the children with autism.  There are news reports too where we can see interviews with the parents and in some cases with the children with Aspergers Syndrome.

We hear from the kids how having an Assistance dog has changed their lives for the better.  


Below in this article I have given a full list of links for these Organizations that provide Assistance and Service Dogs in all the major countries.

Here is a great story about an English Bull Terrier called Nellie.

Nellie the English Bull Terrier who digs up truffles in her back garden.

Nellie the English Bull Terrier is owned by a couple in the UK and has been digging up their garden since 2007.

The owners were at first annoyed until they realized what she was looking for.

She was finding and digging up truffles. 

Black Autumn Truffles to be precise lol.

It is great to hear a nice story about this breed of dog.

English Bull Terriers make wonderful pets.

My belief is that if you treat your dogs with respect and kindness they will be loving and gentle pets.

Truffles are extremely hard to come by and almost unheard of in the UK.

The owners make around £1000 a year by selling the truffles and say it pays for some of the upkeep of their much loved family dog.

For the full story and some more wonderful photos of Nellie the English Bull Terrier with a nose for truffles click the news story link below.

Dogs are worth our love and kindness!

Dogs as pets and friends


If you have a dog as a family member then you will appreciate all the love and joy they give you.

Dogs give you unconditional love and are well worth the time and effort that it takes to look after them properly.

Abandoned Puppy 




It has been scientifically proven that some dogs have the intelligence and understanding at the level of human toddlers.

If you treat them right then you can expect a wonderful loving relationship with your pet dog.

Puppies abandoned again after Christmas


Why do people do it!


Another sad story of poor little dogs and puppies thrown out on the street to die.


I understand if new dog owners suddenly realise that they can not look after their dogs but why do they just throw them out in the street to die.


There are plenty of Dog homes and shelters all over the world that will take in unwanted dogs for free


These cute puppies are up for adoption in North Wales in the UK.


But if your are moved by their stories please contact your own local Dogs Shelter and offer a dog or puppy a new loving home.


The full story of what happened to these puppies are in this article below




Can you offer an abandoned puppy a home?
