I was going to post this but you beat me too it. It really put a smile on my face.
More dogs news.
Cop saves dog that goes through pond.
A floundering pup was rescued by police and fire fighters from the icy waters of Grenadier Pond on Saturday.
Toronto Police spokesman Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook said reports came in around 12:30 p.m. that a dog owner was on the ice trying to rescue a dog when the owner fell through the ice.
“He was fortunately close enough to the shore that he was able to get himself out of the water,” she said.
Nearby officers responded to the scene. One police officer, Const. Mathew Abramovitz of 11 Division, grabbed a buoyant backseat pillow and a pole before heading out onto the ice.
“When someone requires assistance, there are these poles that are in the park,” Douglas-Cook explained.
The officer made his way to the dog with the seat cushion and the pole.
“He did also fall through the ice but he was able to stay afloat on the seat of the police car,” Douglas-Cook said.
The dog apparently looked “just about to give up” and "desperately grabbed the pole," she added.
The officer then pulled the dog onto the seat, as fire fighters and the marine unit responded to the scene.
Everyone was pulled out of the water within 20 minutes. The officer and a fire fighter who also fell through the ice were taken to hospital to be checked out for hypothermia.
Douglas-Cook said the officer was fine and released quickly.
Toronto Fire spokesman Capt. Michael Westwood said the fire fighter appeared to be okay too.
He advised people should stay at least three metres away from shorelines.
“Always keep your pet on a leash,” he said. “The other thing would be, if your pet does get into the water or go through the ice, not to try and do the rescue yourself.”

But the article also pointed out almost all breeds of dogs have inherent health issues. This article chose to focus on those with the shortened muzzles.
For example: 10 Most Common Health Issues for Giant Dogs | petMD
- Droopy eyed dogs are prone to eye infections, IE: Newfies, bassets, cockers, bulldogs
- Many breeds of dwarfish dogs either have difficultly swimming or just plain can't, IE: bulldogs and corgis
- Droop eared dogs are prone to ear infection, IE cockers, and hounds
- Prick eared dogs are more prone to getting things in their ears.
- Read the symptoms list, and tell me if that doesn't describe certain breeds to a tee.
- Giant breed dogs have very short life spans
I'm not saying disregard the original post and it's article. Every breed of dog out there comes with a laundry list of potential health issues. As consumers and owners, it is our responsibility to be aware of these issues when choosing a breed to consider.
As an added little bit, having attended a couple of pet shows, I have seen a number of bulldog breeders also have for a hand out along the lines of "So you want a bulldog?" And it outlines all the health issues associated with the breed.

Thank you, man made dogs (purebreeds) all have inherent health issues and knowing which breeds are prone to what can help one decide which breed is best for you.
