So it probably comes as no surprise that 18-year-old Emma McNulty was devastated when her 14-year-old beloved Yorkshire Terrier, Milly, passed away suddenly.

Skip to content Protecting pets in the heat By John Huddleston | August 14, 2019 at 9:11 PM CDT – Updated August 14 at 9:11 PM BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) – It’s important to make sure your pet and even your neighbor’s pet are safe in these hot conditions. It’s best for pets to stay inside right now. However, if they do have to go outside, make sure they have plenty of water and a shady spot. The Greater Birmingham Humane Society wants you to keep an eye out for other animals too. If you see a pet suffering, call animal control. “If you know there is an animal that is stuck out in the yard, in the blazing sun, that does not have water or is chained and doesn’t have a way to get out of the heat, we need to know about it. And we’ll respond appropriately. We’ll try to get the owner some education and some help. We’re not going to come in there on horses and arrest them for heaven’s sake,” said Allison Black Cornelius, Greater Birmingha...

For a lot of people, taking your dog out for a walk is a relaxing, fun and stress-free activity, that rarely ends with any kind of incident or disaster. However, for some dog owners in Ontario, their daily walks have become considerably more frightening recently, as there have been numerous reports of coyotes in Ontario attacking, and even killing, people’s pet dogs. For residents of LaSalle, Ontario, taking their dogs out has become that bit more difficult, as reports of incidents involving pets and coyotes in the area are becoming increasingly common. According to one LaSalle local , “You have to always be aware” when walking in the area, as you just never know when a coyote could appear. Councilors in LaSalle have acknowledged the increasing concern from the community on the coyote issue, particularly after an attack led to the death of a young dog last month. At a council meeting on Tuesday , deputy mayor, Crystal Meloche, said that it is LaSalle’s “unique blend” of urban area...
