Prof Levinson once left his dog Jingles alone with an uncommunicative child he was treating for a few minutes. When he returned, the child was talking to the dog. This was said to be the beginning of the modern-day study and practice of animal-assisted therapy.
Our own studies were done on healthy people. But there are enough medical reports from all over the world to support the theory that animals have a positive effect on human beings when we learn to bond with them correctly.

Passersby near Meadow Lane and Manderville Road noticed Tasha, her tan sister, Luci, and a small dog late last summer on the lot where an apartment building had been demolished.
The small dog was captured first, lured by a morsel of food. Luci was rounded up after eating a medicated treat that put her to sleep. She later was adopted.
Soon, people began bringing food, and when the weather got colder, several doctors with offices nearby bought a doghouse.

2008-07-25 Pit bull rescued after abuse / Your Severe Weather Station, South Bend, Indiana News, Weather, Sports, Notre Dame News, StormTeam 16
I dont believe that there are any domesticated dogs that are "vicious by nature". Aggression isnt bred, it is taught through abuse or is a result of a neurological impairment. Bait dogs wont fight back the way they want them to, that is why they are bait dogs. Although there is no way of determining for sure if lingering trauma might cause some latent behavior problems in the future, it seems logical that this particular dog has been temperament tested and deemed worthy of rescue. A cute little mill dog purchased at a pet store might have similar issues. As mentioned previously, it is NOT the breed that is the problem. Animals should be considered our companions, not commodities or status symbols. I invite anyone to go into any kill shelter in the area and put an animal to sleep like the workers there have to do every day.
Al Carter, director of animal control, said three pit bulls were declared as dangerous and taken into custody by an animal control officer shortly after the incident. They will be put in rabies quarantine for 10 days, but Carter said the animals will not be released until the owners, who were also unidentified, acknowledge they are dangerous and take the appropriate precautions.
Carter said this is not the first incident involving these particular pit bulls. He said the owners of the dogs refused to take the proper measures after a letter was sent from animal control informing them that the dogs were dangerous.

2008-07-24 WLBT 3-Jackson, MS: Penalties For Fatal Dog Bites Can Be Severe
There is no ordinance in the city of Jackson that prevents a person from having any animal as long as its fixed on the property, remains on the property, and has not been deemed in the past to be vicious or in violation of our dangerous dog ordinance," said Deputy Chief Gerald Jones.
The Animal Rescue League puts down all pit bulls brought for liability reasons. It said it doesnt want to place a vicious breed in the community. But the league reminds that any dog can bite if the circumstances arise.
2008-07-24 KAIT-Jonesboro, AR: Future Name of New Dog Pound Uncertain
If the city refuses to go along with us and they put a dog pound there instead of an animal shelter, then all those people who donated want their money back. "
The mayor says he is willing to work with the family. The name of the new building depends on whether the Tate family would agree to combine a dog pound with an animal shelter.
My husband never put animals down. It was against everything he stood for," said Natalie Tate, the Dr. Tates widow.
Some people might suggest that the funds be used to build more animal shelters to hold the 6 million to 8 million unwanted cats and dogs who enter our countrys animal shelters every year. Others might say that the funds should go toward clever campaigns to urge people to adopt homeless dogs. But Americas homeless animals are in a sinking ship, and these efforts are like trying to bail out the ship with a teaspoon. We need to fix the hole in the bottom of the boat -- by "fixing" dogs and cats.

Report signs of animal neglect to Animal Care and Control immediately by calling 427-1244. Any animal that is found by the shelter to be left in conditions that pose an immediate health hazard to the animal will be taken directly to Animal Care and Control for its safety. An Animal Control Officer will leave a written notice for the owner to claim their pet from the shelter.

Animals exposed to high temperatures, high humidity and inadequate ventilation can become ill or irritable, and may pose a danger to themselves and to people. The department urges caretakers to pay extra attention to provisions for their animals during this time.
