(2) The Bobby & Co. department store in Bournemouth, England, which has opened a food hall for dogs. It is called "Drool." Stands are at dog height and animals are given the opportunity to choose their favorite treats using dedicated sniffing holes. A sign on the wall says, "If you bite it, you buy it!"
(3) Liza, a 12-year-old dog from downstate New York, walking with her owner in a New York state park, was rescued this week after being trapped down a rocky crevice for five days without food or water. A cave rescue team from New Jersey ultimately used a plumbing camera and an extended catch pole to locate and retrieve Liza, who was brought to the surface safely.
