Pet tales: How to prevent dog attacks
One day last year when Deb Chebatoris was walking her schnauzers, Colby and Wilson, they were suddenly and unexpectedly attacked by a larger dog.

Take It All Off!
Five things you can do to protect your dog. By Nancy Kerns I was pretty traumatized recently by a phenomenon I had heard about many times but had never before seen: the intense, chaotic, life-or-death struggle that ensues when one dog gets his jaw stuck in another dog’s collar. It happened to some dogs that live a few houses down from my home office. I was working at my computer when I heard a dog screaming.
