The Dog...Champion
Champion is a 5 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback & Australian Shepherd mix who has made many fans recently and who also helped raise money for Temecula Rotary's International Program. Champion was acquired by Tim Church of Dog Pro when he was approximately 4 months old. Tim brought Champ into his home and began housebreaking and initial obedience training with the puppy.
Then on February 19, 2011, at the Temecula Rotary's Annual Taste of the World event, Champion took part in the 'live auction' portion of the yearly fundraiser. The bidding was fierce and Champion ended up going home with a really terrific Temecula family. As a part of the package the new owners will also receive a complete In-Home Training Program that was donated by Dog Pro.
Champion is adjusting nicely to his new home and quickly bonding with his new family members. Of Champion Tim says, "He is just about the sweetest dog you could ever meet and he loves every human, dog and cat that he meets. You never have to guess what he's thinking, as his face is incredibly expressive. Champ is calm and composed at just the right times, however, he's all puppy and enthusiasm is his middle name!
"I'm really going to miss Champ being in our home, but I am very happy he is with such a wonderful family. He's a really terrific dog and I'm certain that Champ will play a central role in many great family experiences and memories."
Dog Protects Home…Tears Off Police Car Bumper
Winston the American Bulldog, destroyer of police car bumpers.
An American Bulldog named Winston was ordered to attend obedience school as a result of his run in with a Chattanooga City Police Car. Apparently Winston become alarmed when a vehicle other than his owners arrived on his property. Winston determined that a defense against the intruders was necessary and he proceeded to attack the police cars bumper.
As the video from another police car dashcam clearly recorded, Winston takes his role as family and property defender very seriously. Within in minutes he had torn the front bumper completely off and had nullified all attempts by the driver to prevent the destruction. Fortunately the police officer behind the wheel showed tremendous restraint and avoided harming Winston.
According to his owners Winston has never been in trouble before. Hopefully Winston and his owner will learn alot from the obedience and canine good citizen program they are enrolled in and Winston can avoid any further encounters with the law.

Goodbye Daddy…You Will Be Missed!
After 16 years as Cesar Milan’s faithful companion, Daddy the pit bull died on February 19, 2010. Daddy was a terrific example of what a pit bull is capable of being.

Dog Protects 11 Year Old Boy From Cougar!!!
Angel is an 18-month-old female Golden Retriever and she’s the embodiment of courage and faithfulness. Angel’s courage and faithfulness was on full display when her young owner, 11-year-old Austin Forman of British Columbia, was attacked by a cougar while collecting firewood in his backyard. Angel took a page straight out of ‘Old Yeller’s’ book by putting herself between the cougar and her young friend. Austin was gathering firewood for his family when he was ambushed by the cougar. Angel intercepted the cougar by jumping over a lawnmower and sinking her teeth into the big cat before it could get to Austin.
As great a dog as Angel is, and she’s definitely a GREAT dog, there are many more stories about dogs risking their life for their owner. It just goes to show you what amazing animals dogs really are and why they’re considered ‘man’s best friend’. Angel certainly proved to be Austin’s best friend when that cougar paid them a visit.
