Updated: April 2nd 1:30pm Duke, the sweet, petite 2 year old Border Collie mix, got lucky. Since Duke was found roaming the street in front of the Abilene Animal Shelter, he was considered a stray. Strays are usually scheduled to be put to death after a customary waiting period. That time for Duke had run out. Luckily, a Border Collie rescue group from Conroe, Texas stepped forward and agreed to t

Ernesto Rodriguez is in the doghouse in many people’s eyes.

The 5 month old Boxer Lab mix named Ginger found everlasting love once and for all. Friday afternoon, Crystal who is from Eastland Texas, heard about Ginger and came to her rescue. According to Animal Shelter employees, strays are harder to get adopted because very little is known about them. Chalk one up for the good guys, or should I say good girls like Crystal. Thank you for caring enough to ma

This is Ginger, the most lovable 5 month old Boxer Lab mix that is looking for love. She was found roaming the streets of Abilene around the 3200 block of North First Street when she was picked up by the Abilene Animal Shelter. Because Ginger is a stray, she will need to find a home right away before her time runs out this weekend. I spent some time with Ginger and discovered she loves to sit in y

Anybody that knows me, knows that I absolutely love animals, and I know a lot of you consider your pets family members too. I found it therapeutic writing my best friends obituary, for Ozzie was not only family, he was part of me. Oz helped me get through the bad days and was my buddy when I w

Man’s best friend is still man’s best, even after a decade apart.

Barney, who along with his sister Miss Beazley was the resident canine at the White House during George W. Bush's tenure, died Friday at the age of 12. The black Scottish terrier had lymphoma.

Wouldn't it be great if dogs could drive cars? If nothing else, man's best friend could make for a really loyal designated driver. Actually, maybe it's not such a good idea. Just ask James Campbell. Oh wait, you can't ask him because he's dead, run over by a van driven by a boxer bulldog.

After weeks of voting, the results are in for this year's TheFW awards, and in the category of Best Dog Video of 2012 we have a clear winner ... Banthapug, ladies and gentlemen!

Never, ever underestimate the power of social media. On Sunday night (Jan. 13), country superstar Dierks Bentley's dog Jake went missing during a big thunderstorm. Bentley tweeted about his beloved pooch being lost, and the country community -- fans, artists and even the boss at Bentley's label -- rallied around him to help spread the word and support him. They also ultimately helped locate the do
