Ministry wants to bite into dog food bill

Activities such as pulling it by the collar, manipulating it in a way the dog doesnt want, walking too close to its bed, toys or food, being too obnoxious or hyper, or even being spoken to by the dog owner or parent in a certain way can elicit a response. "Dogs can only behave like dogs and treat people the way they treat other dogs." Since a dog can't talk, when a behavior occurs that it doesn't like it will growl, snap and bite. It is in a dogs nature to discipline subordinates to teach them rules and manners. Dogs can only behave like dogs and treat people the way they treat other dogs, says Berryman. In fact, in a dog's mind, they are teaching you manners as they would teach their own puppies. Dog social order is not meant to hurt, but to teach boundaries and limits.

Ministry of Primary Industries chief financial officer Tony Murray said it had about 70 dogs and puppies on its books and was spending about $30,000 a year on dog food, and $150,000 on other related services such as vets and kennels. But he declined to provide comparable details for all the other civil and military service canines, as that could be divulging state secrets. "While MPI is happy to provide details about its own information, not all parties . . . wish to make detailed volume or spend information public because of the classified sensitive or top-secret nature of some of the dog work involved." Police, with one of the biggest packs of dogs, have about 220. These - including working stock, breeding stock, training stock and puppy development stock - chewed through about $250,000 of dog food a year, a spokeswoman said. Landcorp's farm dogs have the largest appetite - they chew through about 90 tonnes of dry food and 3.5 tonnes of puppy food each year.

How to treat a dog bite

The house at 1841 Liddell Road in Deep Run was quiet Wednesday morning, except for the barking of one or two small dogs inside. At the back steps, there lay a vinyl-coated cable dog lead about 40 feet and attached to the porch. But there was no dog. The dog is quarantined at the Lenoir County SPCA, awaiting its fate at the end of 10 days after having bit a 9-year-old boy in front of the next door neighbors house a house about 50 feet from where the dog was tied up. The leash appeared to be able to reach as far as the end of a white picket fence where the two neighbors driveways merged into one and ran alongside the yard where seven youth were playing ball on Saturday. The dogs owner let the pit bull out and attached its leash to the dog when the children were outside playing. The dog, more than a year old, ran toward the neighbors front yard and arrived without its collar. And it wasnt the first time the dog had gotten loose.
