Let's See Them Enforce The 'No Peeing In The Pool' Rule Too...

Compulsory canine life jackets at pet day care and boarding facilities across Colorado could become reality under rules being drafted by the Pet Animal Care Facilities Program, a division of the Colorado Department of Agriculture.

Seriously?!

Yes. And not just lifejackets, there must be a doggy 'Baywatch' too!

The draft rules state that "every dog must wear a personal flotation device while in or while having access to a pool area whenever the pool water is deeper than the height of the dog at its shoulder."

They also stipulate that the pool must have at least one lifeguard on duty to watch over the bedraggled barkers.

I'd say they jumped the shark here, but, well...

So I Guess We'll Never Know What His Last Request Would Have Been...

A Staffordshire Bull Terrier on death row has been given a reprieve after his owner's legal team raised thousands of pounds.

Ummmm.... What?

Incredibly, it's this notorious beast:

Barrister Ali Rafati, who waived his fees, helped raise money with fellow barristers and lawyers and other friends outside the legal profession.

Dr Anne McBride, who examined Dre for the defence team, waived part of her fee and then raised money with her students at Southampton University.

Mr Rafati said the charity would have taken Dre without the donations but added the trust was "on the brink". He added: "To my knowledge this is the only charity which can help with dogs such as Dre.

"The dog will remain at the trust until such time they think he can rehomed."

People - and lawyers!! - raise money. For a savage dog.

It's victim? Oh, who cares about her?

PC Campbell spent three hours in surgery, her arm wound requiring 29 stitches after the incident.

You couldn't make it up...
