Awwwwwww. Oh they're adorable.

There is a special place in Hell for those who abandon their pets when they get old or sick.

It may be that someone was at their wits' end; ill themselves, poor, confused, unable to cope and getting no help from anywhere they contacted.
So although I agree with you in principle, I know the trouble I had trying to find someone to help look after Diz while I tried to get help for myself.

No, I would never have abandoned my boy (although I fear he thought I did, in the end) but I am also probably a little more cognisant of the reasons people do than I was before.

Still, I hope that these two dogs get a wonderful owner off the back of the publicity. The kind they truly deserve.

At the very least leave 'em near to a rescue centre

Banana derby.

I used to listen to a morning drive-time radio show, and the sports guy's lifelong dream was to see, in person, the monkeys dressed as cowboys riding the working border collies.

He said he was 50-something years old and it was, by a long shot, the funniest thing he'd ever seen.

It is entertaining.

Wow, that dog is awesome. I was so glad they caught and guided him down - for a horrible moment I thought he was going to land full force.

Unlike cats... :p:

That's pretty sweet.

When Papa's in the doghouse, the dogs are out of luck.

See, dogs cuddle too. :haha:

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

That made me laugh.

Buster, the Dog Who Saved a Thousand Lives, Passes Away
 

It is with great sadness that Flight Sergeant Will Barrow from the RAF Police announces the death of his retired Arms and Explosive Search Dog, Buster.

Buster, a 13 year old Springer Spaniel passed away at the Barrow’s home in Lincolnshire where he had been enjoying retirement with handler Will, plus two canine companions.

Buster completed five tours of duty in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Iraq and it was his exceptional efforts in these austere environments for which he will be remembered.
It was the saving of countless lives by searching out IEDs that saw the honour of official lifetime mascot of the RAF Police bestowed upon Buster.

Flight Sergeant Barrow documented his experiences with Buster into a best-selling book and as recently as this week, the inseparable pair were out promoting Buster’s service endeavours at a local school where they’d been invited to hand out end of year reports to the children.

The RAF Police are arranging a special event to celebrate RAF Police Military Working Dogs which will give the Force an opportunity to remember those special companions that have saved thousands of lives and served so admirably. Details will follow.
