Dog of the Week
MUSKINGUM COUNTY, Ohio- Cooper has been named the Muskingum County Dog Warden Pet of the Week.
The three-year-old terrier mix is neutered and fully vaccinated. He has been at the dog warden since April and enjoys all the attention.
“He loves to be petted, loves affection and oftentimes when you’re walking him, he’ll actually stop and have you pet him. He loves verbal praise. He rides very well in the car. I feel like he would do good with any family,” Muskingum County Dog Warden volunteer Doug McQuaid said.
Cooper is kid friendly and dog selective. He is a little too much for cats. Every morning when he’s greeted by a volunteer worker, he listens and behaves well.
Severely burned dog will be trained as a therapy dog for child burn victims By WKRC Staff | February 12, 2021 at 12:32 AM EST - Updated February 12 at 2:22 AM
CINCINATTI (WKRC) - A dog with burn scars will soon train to be a therapy animal in childrenâs burn units.
Five months ago, Romee was brought to an animal care hospital in Ohio.
âWhat I saw from the photos of when he first came under our review were one of the most shocking things Iâve ever seen,â Ray Anderson with Cincinnati Animal Care said.
Romee still has some damage to his skin and is blind in his left eye, but despite that and 50 medical procedures, the seven-month-old dog is doing well.
