Choose your pet wisely
If you are thinking about adopting or buying a dog perhaps you need to take a look at what would be the best breed of dog for you and your family. There is a lot of information out there and the American Kennel Club recognizes over 150 breeds. They are divided into seven groups. Your best bet is to find out about the characteristics and history of the different dogs.
Animal Planet has information and photos of all the breeds. There are also body basics and life stages.

Sniffer dog Treo given top honour
 Published 25 Feb 2010 in Rutland Times
A LIFE-SAVING dog has been awarded the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross for his bravery while serving in Afghanistan.
Retired nine-year-old black Labrador Treo, who has now returned back to his former unit at St George's Barracks, in Pennine Way, North Luffenham, received the Dickin Medal on Wednesday.
The heroic dog was presented with the medal for sniffing out bombs known as improvised explosive devices (IEDs) while working as a forward detection dog on two occasions in Sangin, Helmand Province, in March and September 2008. His detective work saved the lives of the soldiers he was patrolling with and innocent civilians.

Great American Dog
 Presley, a boxer born in Perry, Oklahoma, is the "Greatest American Dog." He won that title on the CBS competition series that aired in summer 2008.
Now Presley and his best friend Travis Brorsen (also born in Perry) are off on another adventure, and they are inviting everyone along for the fun.
"Adventures with Travis and Presley, Part 1" is a DVD and book set that teaches children the importance of good manners while helping Presley find his bone. The series, the first of eight, is designed for ages 2 to 6, but it is entertaining and fun for all youngsters.
Enid's own KJ Productions and The Curtoons Cartoon Company collaborated on the project to help bring it to market.
The DVD/book combo can be ordered for $9.99 at www.travisandpresley.com.
