Hello doggies and doggy lovers. I have lots of interesting dog news for you this week so lets get right to it!

First, I want to congratulate The Connecticut State Police Trooper Dogs for getting microchips. The American Kennel Club Companion Animal Recovery donated the microchips to the dogs to help prove their identity if they are ever lost or stolen. Fall Out-Fall in divx

Now for some odd news. ABC News reports about a couple who are soul mates, best friends and are constantly together. What's unusual about Roscoe and Suryia is that they are a dog (Bluetick Coonhound) and an orangutan. The duo met a few years ago in a South Carolina animal sanctuary and became fast friends.

Now for an interesting report. Researchers at the University of Victoria report cutting off a dog's tail deprives it of communication ability and makes it become more aggressive. In studies, they discovered that dogs will react more cautiously to a dog with a docked tail . I'm not sure if I believe this. My tail is docked. In fact it was over docked. I have no tail at all (I wag my butt when I'm happy) but my Momma will tell you that I'm one of the sweetest dogs around.
