For Charlotte Cleverly-Bisman, media attention isn’t new. Her birth has attracted international and local media attention for being her country’s youngest quadruple amputee. She survived a severe case of meningococcal disease. It wasn’t her desire to be in the headlines but this time, it’s different.

It’s all because of Callie, her black Labrador assistance dog. Charlotte was 10 years old when they first met and since then they have been inseparable. Pam and Perry, Charlotte’s parents were first concerned about giving her Callie as a young child but the 15-year-old girl had a natural affinity for animals.

“She likes to make people happy. There are lots of smiles on people’s faces when Callie arrives, and when she’s not around, everyone says ‘where’s Callie?’ She sort of makes people behave better,” said Charlotte.

Two new products have just been launched last November 14 by Animal Ortho Care (AOC). A body lift and shoulder support for dogs. These two new dog support products will be added to AOC’s EMbrace line of orthopedic soft supports.

The body lift is for the purpose of assisting dogs to get over difficult obstacles such as stairways and getting into vehicles. Aneeta Boor Boor VP of Marketing & Advertising said, “We’ve had requests from customers to create a shoulder support, since many larger breeds are prone to conditions like shoulder dysplasia. The EMbrace Shoulder Support can be used for shoulder ligament sprains, dislocations, dysplasia, medial shoulder instability and post-surgical recovery. This support is beneficial for joint laxity, because it helps to limit motion.”

The Pups in Prison program in the Southern Queensland Correctional Centre is run by Assistance Dogs Australia (ADA). It is the first of its kind in the Australian prison system and female inmates have committed to the task of training the pups. Pups in Prison is also a Certificate III in Companion Animal Services.

Prison may not be a place where you can find happiness, but the presence of pups helps the women see positivity as they serve their sentences. Not to mention that their companion animal training gives them job opportunities when they rejoin society. The program’s facilitator, Peter Forbes said that next June, seven women will graduate as they complete the 9-month certificate program.

Fact #1: Cheetahs are so shy that zoos have to provide them with their own emotional support dogs.

Fact #2: Capybaras are animals with high sociability. They get along with a lot of other animals. That includes chickens, dogs, llamas, ducks, cats, turtles, and rabbits.

Fact #3: The stomping seagulls do on grass is called a “Rain Dance”. The purpose of this dance is to mimic rain by vibrating the ground lightly. They aren’t shuffling. They’re luring earthworms and other bugs to the surface.

Fact #4: A study made at the University Of Chicago found that rats are capable of empathy just like us humans.

Fact #5: The Northern Cardinal might be the most “Romantic” of all bird species. They only mate with one partner for life, sing before nesting, fly together, and feed each other with seeds beak-to-beak during courtship. Whoever made them the Angry Birds mascot never did their research.

Dogs have been used for centuries by law enforcement agencies to track and attack criminals. The same goes for horses as these majestic creatures have been ridden to chase after outlaws. But like their handlers, horses and dogs have also evolved to perform more rules in keeping order in a community than just working on the frontlines.

A good example of these animals doing side-roles are the horses Ivan and Hercules of the Mounted Police Branch at Long Circular Road, Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. During Carnivals, these horses are deployed as means for crowd-control.

Atom and Nacho are Belgian Malinois from the same police branch. Yet, their story is different. Instead of crowd control, their side-roles are school visits for routine safety checks and public demonstrations for public entertainment.

The short answer is – No, there is no solid evidence stating that a domestic animal’s fur can carry the coronavirus from one person and infect another. Even if pets can carry the virus, it still won’t pose a high risk of infection as long as you and your pet stay 6-feet away from others while you wear a protective mask.

Apartment landlords or other rental property owners cannot reject or discriminate against a tenant who requires an emotional support or service animal. If the apartment rules do not allow animals, the property owner should ask the prospective tenant for a document from a health care provider stating that the tenant needs an ESA before letting them in.

Pet Deposit – A one-time fee that protects the landlord and the property from damages made by a pet. It may or may not be refundable depending on the condition of the unit once the tenant moves out. If there are damages, the pet deposit will cover the repairs. If not, the tenant gets to keep the deposit.

Pet Fee- A non-refundable charge tenants pay in a rental unit for the privilege of keeping a pet with them. Like a pet deposit, it is also a one-time fee.

Pet Rent – A recurring charge that is added to a tenant’s monthly rent. Like a pet fee, the pet rent is also for the privilege of keeping a pet in the apartment unit.

The Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district forbade bringing of animals and pets into school properties unless it was for learning purposes with the permission of the school principal. But recently, they have amended the rules regarding that.

Now, assistance dogs are allowed as long as the animals are certified and will not roam around school facilities. This allowed support for individuals with autism, seizures, and hearing problems.

Every dog to enter school premises based on the amendment must be a therapy, guide, or a service dog with a vest for identification. But first, parents must write a letter to the school district regarding the entry of the service dog. Attached to the letter should be a diagnosis of the child from a professional with a recommendation to use an assistance animal.

Beethoven is a deaf 7-year-old, 100-pound mix of American Bulldog, Shar-Pei, Alaskan Malamute, Bullmastiff, and Terrier. Despite his disability, he never lets his deafness get in the way of providing relief for patients who are in the direst situations.

Some of the patients Beethoven has taken care of is a teenage boy with Huntington’s disease. He couldn’t move any part of his body but a single finger. Yet, the boy’s eyes lit up when he held Beethoven’s leash a month before he died in hospice care.

We owe Beethoven’s dedication as a therapy dog to his handler, Cynthia “Shanon” Zeisloft, a Muscogee County Sheriff’s Deputy. She is better known as Lt. Z or just Z.

Veterinary technicians are the ones who assist veterinarians during the hands-on care of animal patients. They also provide client education for animal care, serve various administrative roles in the clinic, and even specialize in a specific service area.

Heather Soder has been a certified veterinary technician since 1996. She has passed the Veterinary Technician National Exam and completed an accredited program in veterinary technology. The accreditation process either lasts for two or four years.

“I work with area animal shelters to obtain patients and help students with everything from performing physicals exams, bloodwork, and patient prep to gloving, gowning, and draping into surgery,” said Soder.
