The Story Of A Real Life Littlest Hobo Bulldog Who Got Lost In The Forest
An American bulldog was found last week after being lost in the wilderness for 8 months.
The dog is thought to have survived by hiding from farmers who threatened to shoot her and scavenging for food.
Izzy slipped out of her collar and disappeared while going on a daily country walk.
Her owners Carol O'Neil and partner Gerry Clarke spent hours frantically looking for the rescue dog in vain before returning home heartbroken. They ended up spending all their spare time over the next eight months searching for Izzy. Walking for miles through the Welsh wilderness in all kinds of weather.
The couple eventually recruited up to 10 dog lovers to help locate Izzy calling themselves non other than "TEAM IZZY"
After five months the couple heard from a farmer who said Izzy had made friends with his smaller dog and was regularly coming onto his land.
But it took another three months before they finally managed to catch her - after enlisting a marksman to shoot her with a tranquilizer dart.
Carol, 55, and Gerry, 53, called in the trained marksman when other local farmers threatened to shoot Izzy to protect their livestock.
Izzy is now slowly getting used to human contact again. Ms O'Neil said: 'People have been amazing. I just can't believe it.
When we got her back I bawled my eyes out. I couldn't stop looking at her for days. I never thought I'd get this ending. 'She's still really nervous. We haven't been able to take her for a walk since in case she runs off again.
Izzy's story was similar to the American TV series Littlest Hobo. It ran on TV from 1979 until 1985 and was based upon a 1958 film of the same name. The long-running show followed the story of a nomadic German Shepherd dog which wandered from town to town and helped people down on their luck or in trouble.

Why You Really Do Need Flea And Tick Maintenaince Year-Round
There are several reasons why you should make tick and flea medication a once a year practice.
You may be thinking as colder weather is approaching that you might not need flea and tick medication anymore. He really doesn't need it when the weather turns colder.
Unfortunately, flea are very tenacious and can infest homes quickly. Nearly all veterinarians universally recommend continuing treatment all year long.
Fleas and ticks survive the winter and long after the temperatures drop.
The image below shows the four phases in the flea life cycle.
Adult fleas lay eggs on your dog or cat or leave them in the surrounding environment. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae continue to grow. They don't need to be on your cat or dog to survive; in their larval stage, they can live in cracks in the floorboards, among the fibers of your carpet or nestled in your sofa cushions. Larvae turn into pupae, which eventually emerge as adult fleas.
These adults are what you're familiar with – black dots the size of grains of pepper that you can see in your pet's fur. Fleas actually spend most of their lives out in the environment, not on your pet. Fleas feed on the blood of your dog or cat by biting through the skin, causing itching and inflammatory reactions.
While extreme cold may kill adult fleas, fleas can survive temporary dips in temperature. If temperatures warm up above freezing, that's enough to thaw out the fleas and let them live to see another day. It takes about 10 days of prolonged freezing temperatures to truly kill off fleas.
As for ticks, they're as resilient to the cold as fleas. Ticks hibernate under wet leaves on the forest floor during the winter to avoid detection from hungry predators, and to keep warm and moist. When temperatures plunge, they hunker down, allowing them to withstand several days of freezing temperatures.
But as soon as the temperatures warm above freezing, they climb the nearest branch or blade of grass to find a host they can feed upon. If the next critter that passes by is your dog or cat, flea and tick medication during the winter will be your first and best line of defense.
Flea and tick medication protects your pet during all seasons Most flea and tick medication disrupts the life cycle of the insect in some way. For example, some medications paralyze ticks so that they cannot feed. They starve and drop off the host animal, unable to survive or reproduce.
This prevents new ticks from breeding and kills the adult ticks before they finish feeding on your pet. Fleas and ticks can and do wake up during the winter, and when they wake up, they're hungry.
Why take a chance and leave your pet unprotected from the voracious pests? Using flea and tick medications year-round can prevent ugly infestations, diseases and more. In this case, an ounce of prevention is indeed worth a pound (or more) of cure!

Telepathic Bulldog Talks A Man Out Of Robbing A Bank
In its latest spot for Bulldog Skincare for Men, adam&eveDDB introduces a telepathic bulldog that helps its owner out by preventing him from making a really stupid decision.
With a series of weddings on the horizon, the man is desperate for cash and about to make a terrible mistake, robbing a bank on a crowded street in the middle of the day. Luckily, his bulldog can read his mind and is there to talk him out of it while also offering some advice on skin care.
The message, of course, delivered in about as silly a way as possible, is that Bulldog Skincare understands men (thus the telepathy).
“At Bulldog, we sometimes hear men’s skin care described as a low-interest category,” said Bulldog Skincare for Men head of marketing Nick Parker in a statement. “We don’t believe there’s such a thing as a low interest category, only low interest brands. The Telepathic Bulldog is a funny, provocative and distinctive way of raising Bulldog’s voice in the category and making our category more interesting to men in the U.K.”

5 Dog Chew Toys You May Not Want To Use
Periodontal disease has been on the rise as of late in dogs. Once it has set in, bacteria can enter the bloodstream from the gums and lead to more serious conditions of the kidneys, lungs, or heart. there Dental chew products that when used daily can help remove plaque and tarter. Some are obviously better than others. The 5 types of chew toys listed below do have some risks, and I believe should be avoided:
#1 – Rawhide: Surprisingly, rawhide sprayed with enzymes are still one of the most popular dental chews. Many veterinarians have been cautioning dog owners about the dangers of rawhide. Rawhide causes problems because dogs will sometimes swallow the whole thing, causing intestinal blockages. They are also high in calories and can contribute to pet obesity
# 2 – Antlers & Hooves: While these products provide great chewing action, their hard surfaces can easily cause a chipped tooth.
#3 – Cooked Bones: While most veterinarians recognize raw bones as a great way to keep teeth and gums healthy, there’s no question about cooked bones. The hard surface can chip teeth, or possibly splinter when being swallowed which can cause even worse, the splintering can cause issues in the digestive system
#4 – Fatty and Calorie-Rich Snacks: Pay close attention to the calorie content in dental chews. The positive impact of enhanced oral health might be undermined by a surge in calorie intake, potentially contributing to weight gain and obesity.
#5 – Chew toys containing a large list of ingredients. The K.I.S.S. rule applies here.
What you should use
Grain Free, Low Calorie, Dental Chews in my opinion are the best. This is the brand I have been buying for the last year and will continue to do so.

An Abused Bulldog Finds New Home
A bulldog that had been living outdoors amidst unsanitary conditions, surrounded by her own waste, has finally found a forever home, all thanks to the RSPCA.
Betty, a two-year-old bulldog with white and brown fur, was discovered in a dire situation by East Cambridgeshire Police and the RSPCA. She had been enduring the squalor of a dirty outbuilding along with two other dogs on the property in Cambridgeshire back in March of the previous year.
Betty, her bulldog companion Wilma, and a terrier cross named Gabbi were rescued and taken to the RSPCA Blackberry Farm Centre in Aylesbury. There, they received the care and attention they desperately needed before eventually finding new homes.
Sam Chisholme, a 43-year-old resident of Linslade in Bedfordshire, welcomed Betty into his home in March of this year. He shared, "She now enjoys a significantly improved life, spending most of her time going on walks and enjoying quality time with me, my three-year-old bulldog Riley, and my son Callum. Betty is now in excellent health and has a remarkably calm demeanor. You would never guess from her temperament that she had endured such a traumatic experience. She is a wonderful companion to have around."
Mr. Chisholme, an engineer, has always had a fondness for bulldogs and has had them as part of his family for the past two decades. He mentioned, "She adores her walks and, for a bulldog, she is quite active and healthy. In comparison, Riley gets tired much more quickly than she does."
Betty, now two and a half years old, has embraced her new home and companions, a far cry from her previous living conditions where she was confined to a six-foot by three-foot outbuilding and forced to eat near a pile of her own waste.
RSPCA Inspector Alex Coghlan, who was responsible for rescuing the dogs from the Cambridgeshire property, expressed, "It's heartwarming to witness these dogs find loving homes, especially Betty, who was in such a distressing state when we found her. Witnessing her receive the happy ending she deserves is truly rewarding."
Both Wilma and Gabbi have also been successfully rehomed by the RSPCA. Wilma now relishes her new life and has a fellow bulldog companion, while Gabbi was joyfully adopted by an RSPCA volunteer.

4 Ingredient Easy To Make Ice Cream For Summer
INGREDIENTS
2 cups of natural plain yogurt (choose unsweetened, "live active culture" or "probiotic" yogurt. This makes it easier to digest and the "good bugs" are great for your dog's gut health)
1 ripe banana
1 cup of peanut butter
2 Tbsp honey
MAKE IT!
1. Mash the banana and stir it into the natural, plain yogurt.
2. Next stir the peanut butter (you may want to warm it to room temperature to make it easier to stir in) into the banana-yogurt mixture. Add the honey and mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Pour the mixture into cupcake liners and freeze overnight.
4. Store in the freezer in a Ziploc bag until ready to give to your dog! Some dogs like to have their "ice cream" treat partially thawed before serving. And you may want to feed this treat outside! (People with carpeting, this tip is for you.)
