The Curry Coastal Pilot has the full story on the wiener dog and his canine companion who were found in Brookings, Oregon:
Brookings Police were called when a Fred Meyer store employee found a note in the elevator Monday morning. The note asked the finder to rescue her two dogs from Azalea Park.At about the same time, Brookings Police responded to a report of dogs barking at the park, where they found a Dachshund and a Red Heeler mix tied to a bench with another note indicating that the owner had lost her job and her husband wouldn’t pay to feed them any more.
The dogs, which shelter volunteers have named Guy and Sandy, are 10 or 11 years old, and both are housebroken and healthy except for ear infections, Powers said.
While it is not clear what will happen to Guy and his friend, if you are looking for a rescue wiener dog in Oregon, try Oregon Dachshund Rescue.
Today at the Pierre Hotel in Manhattan, the 2009 ASPCA Humane Awards were presented. The Henry Bergh Award went to the Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary, which has been featured before here at the Daily Dachshund and Dog News:
Steve Smith and Alayne Marker founded the Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Ovando, Montana, in December 2000. The couple left their corporate jobs in Seattle and relocated to Montana fulltime to devote themselves to animal rescue. Their mission was to turn 160 acres of open grassland and cottonwoods into a sanctuary for animals with special needs — those pets who are least likely to be adopted and most likely to be euthanized in traditional shelters. The animal sanctuary is now home to approximately 70 animals, nearly two-thirds of whom are blind.
Here’s another video of Callie the blind wiener dog.
And, since we don’t want to be dog-ist, we should also mention that Nora the piano playing cat won “Cat of the Year.”
Congratulations everyone. You all deserve it.

Driving southbound on I-29 Saturday morning in the fog, a girl from Dell Rapids attempted to make a u-turn in the median while having no headlights on and without using blinkers. She was in the right lane and switched into the left lane without using blinkers and attempted to make her turn. Approaching at highway speed was Jennifer and Chris Plott along with their 2 dachshunds and volunteers with Dakota Dachshund Rescue who were on their way to GermanFest to help raise money for the Rescue and race their dogs.
Thank goodness no one was too seriously hurt. As for the idiot driving the other car, you just have to wonder.
