Stray dogs terrorize Baghdad
BAGHDAD | Baghdad authorities have announced a campaign to kill stray dogs who roam the Iraqi capital in packs.
Chester: They're hunting dogs in the streets of Baghdad. As I said, more stray dogs means more anti-dog sentiment. Anywhere. Everywhere. Dogs without homes, without humans, revert to their wilder, primal state, in order to survive. Humans do the same. And yes, this primal reversion is somewhat of a de-evolution to wolfishness, a problematic discussion for many weredogs.

Dog saves family from fire but loses his life
Three years ago, Jennette Gonzalez rescued a stray dog that had been left for dead amid the trash and debris in a bin at a Camden Point gas station.
On Friday, Rex, a bullmastiff-Rottweiler mix, returned the favor with his life.
"He was what saved us," said Gonzalez's daughter, Abril Holguin, 17. "If it was not for Rex, we would not be alive right now."
About 2:30 a.m., as flames ripped through the family's Dearborn home, Rex frantically tried to wake up Gonzalez.
Chester: So, what we have here is a dog who was stray, who was adopted by people, given a home, and gave his life for the people who took him in. Some people, many cultures, do not understand the power of that, of dog loyalty.
