Pancake Artist of the Day

May. 9, 2012

Nathan Shields has picked up where Jim (of Jim’s Pancakes) left off, though Shields’ creations are considerably less 3D and more batter-intensive. Don’t miss his Star Wars, Organs, and Marine Invertebrates collections.

Pet food recalled after salmonella outbreak

Many dog lovers make all kinds of inferences about how their pets feel about them, but no one has captured images of actual canine thought processes -- until now.

Emory University researchers have developed a new methodology to scan the brains of alert dogs and explore the minds of the oldest domesticated species. The technique uses harmless functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), the same tool that is unlocking secrets of the human brain.

The Science Of Begging

Dogs can tell that human food is better:

Researchers let pet dogs choose between two plates, one with a single piece of food and the other with six pieces. Unsurprisingly, the animals generally went for the larger portion. But when a human being showed a clear liking for the smaller plate, the canines likewise went for the skimpier choice. The dogs apparently recognized and responded to the humans’ social cues.

I know everyone reading this cleans up after their dog, but others don't.

U.S. Waters Polluted by 10 Million Tons of Dog Poop

The 78 million dogs living in the United States create 10 million tons of feces annually, polluting waterways and posing a threat to public health, according to a pet waste removal service asking Americans to pledge to scoop the poop this Earth Day.

Dog Waste Threatens Public Health

“The longer dog waste stays on the ground, the greater a contamination becomes. Bacteria, worms and other parasites thrive in waste until it’s washed away into the water supply.” or chopped into millions of pieces and blown into the air with lawnmowers, or weed-eaters {underlined comment is mine}

USAToday reports that 40% of dog owners do not pick up their dog’s waste.  90% of the fecal coliform in urban stormwater was of non-human orig....

In just a couple of days, 100 dogs can deposit enough bacteria to temporarily close a bay.

So What’s a Responsible Dog Owner to Do?

If you live in Cambridge, MA, you can drop your dog’s leavings into methane digesters to power the lights in some p... (Watch the video showing the methane park spark idea). The Natural Resources Defense Council has the following recommendations: (most cut due to 4000 character limit)

• Flush it. Dog waste can be managed by most sewage treatment systems and some septic tanks. (Do not flush cat waste because the parasite Toxoplasma gondii can survive sewage treatment plants.) {Who would have guessed?}

On a lighter note. Here's a story about a rescued rare Elliot  chimp named Billy and the follow up story about saving Scooby Do, her dog friend's life.

Faces Of The Day

Photographer Seth Casteel captures the joy of underwater dogs:

The most exciting part of the success for him, however, is how the attention has already helped his non-profit, Second Chance Photos, which aims to increase the quality of animal adoption photos at shelters across the country by providing photo equipment and technical training for shelter staff. Better photos, Casteel says, means increased adoption rates.
