Fido Findings

News from the dogosphere:

• It is now illegal to walk dogs in public in Riyadh.
• Verizon Wireless finally yanked those horrible pit bull ads.  Too bad so much damage is already done.
• The very good folks at Bad Rap revisit the Tusla puppy incident and find it surprising that so many people would never expect a lab to bite. Theyve provided a short list of "old and not-so-old headlines" to remind us that "dogs are still animals, even when they can fit into a fancy leather shoulder bag."
• Nathan Winograd, author of Redemption, is furious about the effectiveness of L.A.'s recent mandatory dog licensing laws and he hopes a similar proposition for mandatory cat licensing gets buried before it gets traction.
• Dogster shines a light on some of the more horrifying things that can happen when you take Fido to get groomed.
• In lighter news: Dogster is running a series of photo contests and we are pleased as punch that an English bulldog won the most recent go-round for a crazy drool-covered picture.
