I felt the same about that story. Miss Mia is her name. Making people smile is great, but not when amusement is based on ignorance. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-03/owners-sacrifice-to-spend-on-pets-in-cost-of-living-crisis/104172378 We either seem to kill them with neglect, like poor Atticus, or smother them with human expectations -
Disturbing article with graphic descriptions of severe cruelty, but good outcome through the courts. Sentenced to 15 months & life ban from owning other dogs Edited to add: this article was on ABC News. No link; as advised below, the content is disturbing. I haven't watched the footage, nor do I want to.

Research Reveals the Longest and Shortest Lived Dog Breeds
Redsonic replied to Deeds's topic in In The News
I think this graph might explain the Chihuahua anomaly. It looks like losses earlier in life might skew the Chihuahua statistics. Perhaps misadventure (fractures, dog bite wounds etc) or behavioural euthanasia causes higher mortality in youth, but if you are a Chi of advancing years, things look a lot better. https://media.springernature.com/full/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-022-10341-6/MediaObjects/41598_2022_10341_Fig3_HTML.png -

A bit more information (speculation) than the ABC was prepared to publish. The dog appeared to be "of Rottweiler Type", was not registered, and there were 2 other dogs on the property that were not involved in the attack (and weren't registered either). 7 News
