Written by Barbara Hanly on Thursday, 08 July 2010

Tora was a contestant in our Best Pet Photo competitions earlier this year, her bright and bubbly personality shining through her photo.

No more wrestling Kitty into her cat box, or marching Rover into an alien environment where he may be exposed to contagious diseases, sickness or parasites. Granny would also be safe from the constant trips to empty the litter tray and water the roses and the neighbours wouldn't need to hide from the annual doorbell when next doors suitcases appear down the drive!

Horse Swept Away in Floods Survives

Written by Barbara Hanly on Monday, 28 June 2010

During recent floodings in Oklahoma, three horses found themselves neck deep in water and close to death. Animal welfare and the fire department managed to rescue two of the horses but the third horse was swept the 25ft swollen creek. Officer Mike Sullivan said, " It was heartbreaking. All we could do was hope in God and pray the horse could catch it grip and swim to higher ground and get out of the water. 

Well God must have been listening because Sullivan's prayers were answered. Check out the video report to hear ''Reg's'' story in full. Gotta love a happy ending!
