There is much more than a reasonable basis for believing that a President Trump would offer substantial relief from the Obama nightmare on issues of intense concern to conservatives, Republicans and members of the American middle and working classes.
It’s very probable that President Trump would…

Retail rescue nears peak insanity;
On June 8, 2015, an adult female dog that had recently been picked up from the streets of Cairo, Egypt, and shipped by a U.S. animal rescue organization to the United States was confirmed to have rabies by the Virginia Department of General Services Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services (DCLS). This dog was part of a large shipment of dogs and cats from Egypt that rescue organizations had distributed to multiple states for adoption. During the investigation, public health officials learned that the rabies vaccination certificate used for entry of the rabid dog into the United States had intentionally been falsified to avoid exclusion of the dog from entry under CDC’s current dog importation regulations. This report underscores the ongoing risk posed by U.S. importation of domestic animals that have not been adequately vaccinated against rabies.
That’s right. Egypt.

Today I saw how Americans buy dogs at a rescue dog market. Hundreds of people in a small New England town shopping for a dog from unknown sources and unknown conditions sent from Louisiana and Texas. And it was all about the puppies. There were lots of puppies. This is okay? This is politically correct? But, buying a puppy from a pet store whose supply kennels are inspected and licensed is not? Enough with the double standard already. If you think the source of your pet makes you a better person, then you don’t need a pet, you need a therapist. #RetailRescue

The adoption fee in Cheatham County is $50, but Hooper’s friend said they told her the dog was promised to a rescue.”I questioned him. I said, ‘So we’re just a puppy mill for rescue groups? Are we just providing them products to sell?'”

A very successful weekend at Spruce Meadows (Alberta Kennel Club/Purina National Dog Show) behind us, regular blogging will resume in the coming hours. After we rest up a little.

Rescue gone mad: On June 10, CDC’s Poxvirus and Rabies Branch confirmed the diagnosis of rabies in a dog imported from Cairo, Egypt. In total, 18 US citizens (Virginia residents) have been started on rabies post-exposure prophylaxis due to contact with the rabid dog. Human and animal exposure investigations have been completed at the state level. A review is underway to determine how this infected dog was able to enter the United States.

Don’t Bring A Dog To A Gun Fight
When the two dogs — and their walkers — encountered each other on Friday on opposite sides of a narrow pedestrian bridge in Glen Burnie, Md., the difference between the canines must have been obvious.
One was a 180-pound Great Dane. The miniature Schnauzer weighed just 15 pounds…
