The Fargo City Commission unanimously voted to update our city’s dog and cat ordinance to put stricter punishments and responsibilities on the owners of ”dangerous” dogs or “potentially dangerous” dogs.
Thankfully, this ordinance will not include breed specific regulations or bans on certain breeds of dogs. Instead, it will hold all dog owners to the same standards.
Banning or regulat ...
A Jack Russell terrier type dog (not pictured) was euthanized in a local pound last week because of his extremely aggressive behavior, according to 4LuvofDog.com, a Fargo dog rescue. Because of the dog’s aggression, he was considered by the pound to be ”unadoptable.”
My immediate reaction was shock. Was there really no one in the area capable of helping this dog? How can a group call themselves a r ...

I had to use a picture of this cute, little dog because small dogs bite more often than big dogs. It’s just that small dogs typically do less damage.
I’ve been bitten by at least five dogs bad enough to break my skin, but that is because of how much time I’ve spent around so many dogs. The chances of a dog biting me are much higher than a dog biting an average person. When working at places like boa ...

Ace did something bad last night. He bit my boyfriend in the face.
This made me realize I cannot tolerate any aggressive behavior from my dog.
The bite was a small puncture wound on the side of Josh’s nose, an inch or so below h ...
A pit bull mauled a 9-week-old boxer puppy last week at a local dog park in Fargo, shaking the pup and refusing to let go. It’s a scene that has happened or could happen in all dog parks: one dog attacks another dog.
Aggressive behavior at the dog park cannot be avoided completely. Going to the dog park is always a risk. Dog whisperer Cesar Millan and author Jon Katz ...
I don’t have my own kids (just a needy mutt and a very prissy cat), but I bring up the issue of children and dogs because there are so many preschool and grade school aged kids in my apartment complex. They have no fear or respect for animals. They obviously have dogs of their own and run up to any dog, sticking their faces in the dog’s face.
According to dogbitelaw.com, 77 percent of dog-bite injuries t ...
My mutt was walking off leash at the park with me last week. The back of the park borders some backyards, which is where we were walking when a ...
With all the hype about dangerous dogs and banning certain breeds, I decided to look closer at some statistics. I was curious as to which breeds were responsible for the most dog-bite related deaths. All the statistics I came across said roughly the same story: pit bulls and rottweilers are the most “dangerous” breeds, resulting in the highest number of fatal attacks.
A 2000 report by Vet Med today listed ...

When dogs used for fighting are taken out of their abusive situations, they should be given a chance to live a normal life.
According to CNN, 47 pit bulls were taken from property owned by Michael Vick. All the dogs went to animal rehabilitation centers. The hope is that with time, some of them will be able to be adopted and learn what life is like as a loved pet.
Many of these dogs are living in Utah at Best Friends ...
