Breaking Dog News of the Day
Sep. 27, 2011
Breaking Dog News of the Day: Mango the Pomeranian is safe and sound after giving its owner Dan Dowdy and dozens of I-84 commuters the run-around for several long minutes yesterday.
The 4-year-old pup slipped out of its collar and took off from the Gateway Transit Center towards the highway, where it eluded capture for 15 minutes before making its way to a nearby high school.
It was only after Dan’s wife Linda arrived that Mango made an about-face, and jumped into her arms.

Adopt An Animagus of the Day
Sep. 27, 2011
Adopt An Animagus of the Day: The ten-year-old black German Shepherd best remembered for playing Sirius “Padfoot” Black’s animagus in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is in need of a new home after his previous owner, stuntman Paul Thompson, was forced to give him up.
“I found myself spending a lot of time away from home,” Thompson says. “The dogs needed more attention then I could give. It was a difficult decision to make but one I had to accept was best for the dogs.”
Berry — or Shadowberry if you’re not into the whole brevity thing — is available for adoption along with his “best friend” — a German Shepherd-Lab mix named Porridge — through the UK-based German Shepherd Dog Rescue.

Quote of the Day
Sep. 27, 2011
“I have no interest in policing the content of such projects. However, as chief executive I am duty-bound to ensure that taxpayers are not footing a $420,000 bill for a project which does nothing more than perpetuate misconceptions about the State and its citizens.”
–New Jersey governor Chris Christie, in a letter to New Jersey Economic Development Authority CEO Caren S. Franzini announcing the vetoing of a tax break benefiting the company that produces MTV’s Jersey Shore.
The tax credit was dubbed the “Snooki subsidy” by its opponents.
