Dog Day on the Bay!

If you’ll be in the San Francisco area next weekend,
don’t miss the annual Dog Day on the Bay Cruise.
Held by Hornblower Cruises & Events,
this event is the only time that dogs cruise free
with their owners.



This year’s event benefits the San Francisco SPCA’s Puppy Dog Tales Reading Program for the first time.

During the two-hour cruise, guests enjoy a brunch buffet and free-flowing sparkling wine, plus live entertainment and scenic San Francisco Bay views. Top dogs are spoiled with treats at the bow-wow buffet, first-class canine water stations and a specially-constructed outdoor grass deck for doggie bathroom breaks.

Well-behaved hounds of all sizes and breeds are welcome. To ensure pet safety, San Francisco SPCA veterinarians and dog monitors will cruise with the group, and custom-built netting on the ship’s rails protects pups big and small.

Mason update

Mason makes People magazine!

respect

amazing

Mason,

a one-year-old terrier mix,

was hiding in his family’s garage

in the Birmingham suburb of North Smithfield on April 27,

when he was sucked out by the massive tornado

that destroyed whole neighbourhoods

and killed more than 40 people.

Despite days of desperate searching by his owners, who asked not to be named and are not granting media interviews, Mason was nowhere to be found. With most of the garage destroyed, family members resigned themselves to the likelihood that their four-legged pal did not survive the ordeal.

Then, three weeks later, the family arrived home one day to find their beloved pooch, mouth agape and stumpy tail wagging like crazy, sitting on the front porch.

OK dogs are amazing: that's a given.

MOST amazing is what happened next:

Instead of euthanizing the pup, Animal Control contacted the nearby Vulcan Park Animal Care Clinic to see if a surgeon was available to save Mason’s life.

When the clinic heard the remarkable tale of survival, it immediately offered to take X-rays and make an attempt to get Mason healthy again.

“One of our surgeons offered up his services, free of charge, and on Friday Mason underwent three-and-a-half hours of fairly invasive surgery,” recounted Chuck Eagar, a manager and veterinarian technician at Vulcan Park Animal Clinic.

“He’s got two metal plates and several pins in his legs, but he’s doing great. He’s eating and drinking well. He’s got a lot of heart and a great personality.”
