Poor dog, but a happy ending:
QuoteA pet dog that disappeared in Sydney earlier this month was found a week later roughly 1,000 kilometres away in south-east Queensland.
The two-year-old staffy-cross Roo went missing from a backyard in Sydney's inner-west in mid August, reappearing roughly a week later in the town of Mount Mee.
While it's not confirmed, both Roo's owner and the person who found her are suspicious this could have been an abduction.

The story seems to have disappeared but there was also one on the ABC website about a cavoodle? Miss Mina? that was described as a social influencer that owned dozens of tutus.
You can only hope it was taken down because people complained.
Treating any animal like a toy, a plaything is also abuse. Shows a lack of respect. A living being is not a Disney cartoon character.
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.
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.

A recent report published by researchers at Broome Regional Hospital found the Kimberley town had recorded seven times the national average of hospital admissions from dog bites.
Between 2021 and 2023 more than 200 patients were treated for dog bites in Broome.
It sounds like Dingoes aren't the real problem around Broome...
(re this article: Dingoes around Broome 'may be destroyed' if they pose a public safety risk, department rules )

Legal advice has shown that some Moreton Bay Regional Council Officers were acting unlawfully when they impounded and euthanased dogs and fined their owners.
You'd be very pissed if it happened to you...

I don’t believe the study at all, it says golden retrievers have a longer lifespan than chihuahuas (just one example) which is a load of rubbish.
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.

Dog was found abandoned, and a rescue group raised funds for her surgery. Surgeons at a specialist centre removed the extra limbs .

Arrested person (not the dog's owner) was also bitten.
Poor dog was probably worked up by the struggle happening in its house.

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).
