...there has been one case of cancer - in a French bulldog named Leon - according to a 2006 study in Veterinary Pathology. But it remains unclear whether the cancer was caused by a microchip or as the result of an injection, or who the maker of the chip was. The dog's tumor was removed in 2004, and a later examination found no recurrence. It seems that no one notified the FDA about Leon, but his case doesn't appear to worry the agency, as evident from a statement it issued when the AP brought Leon's story to light...

Dana Perino knows how to elicit a partisan response. In 1998 at the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, she trained her Hungarian hunting dog, Henry, to bark when asked, "Should Clinton go to jail?"

We have since added the kaffiyeh to the anti-neck accessory list, which includes superstar fashions of the past (including poufy goose down vests to spiked dog collars). The light cottony material is great for protecting eyes and ears from desert sand, but pointless for New England’s bone-chilling autumn breeze. No matter how tightly those hippie-philosophy types clasp their newly purchased kaffiyeh around their necks, the fact remains: despite that cool devil...
...minutes at the installation ceremony for University President Drew Gilpin Faust. I was wedged between an old crone who kicked things off by substituting “sisterhood†for “brotherhood†in “America the Beautiful†and a small dog who looked even less happy to be there than I was. Eventually his owners took him away, clearly realizing that it would be considered cruelty to animals to force him to listen to any more speeches. As I stood there, feeling all sensation leave my extremities, I began to wonder...
