Not only is Elmwood, the “world’s ugliest dog” but he loves greyhounds too.The controversial fire hydrant that was recently pulled from a dog park in Oregon, has been reinstalled. The hydrant, painted with the likeness of an American flag, was already surrounded by prickly shrubbery but now has the added security of a fence, to keep pooches away.The good old USA may want to close its borders, but not to Caribbean dogs.It turns out that Leona wasn’t the only “witch of Wall Street.”I’ll drink to that:

A hydrant painted in the likeness of an American flag was pulled from a dog park after complaints that it is disrespectful to let dogs use it to take care of business. The hydrant was added as a tribute to Hondo, a police dog killed 10 years ago chasing a suspect. Louanne Douris, a retired U.S. foreign services officer wrote, “that gallant dog must be turning in his grave at the thought of the flag being desecrated every time a dog pees on that hydrant!” God bless America!
Chicago police were called upon, when a pup named Miss Pickles took a dip in the Chicago river. Miss Pickles had been out walking with her owner when she went off to chase something and ended up in the river paddling around for more than 15 minutes before being pulled to safety. Does anyone else agree that Miss Pickles is the most magical name ever? Henceforth, all dogs shall swim freely and carry the name of Pickles. “Get back here Baby Pickles, Jr., III.” I like the sound of that.
Be on the lookout for small horses being passed off for large dogs.
I’ll drink to that:
