Given that seeing an orange lobster typically means it is dead and boiled and on a plate, shopper Kyle Brancato did a double take when he spotted the lobster moving among the others for sale at a Tops grocery store in upstate New York. I walked by the lobster tank, and I saw this bright orange lobster, Brancato told WHAM, a local CNN affiliate. Very different from all the other ones in the tank.

Authorities in Bolzano, located in the mountainous Trentino-Alto Adige region, have proposed charging 1.50 a night for dogs visiting the province and 100 a year per dog for resident dog owners. If passed by the provincial council, some of the proceeds will be used to rid the streets of dog poo after a failed policy enacted last year that required dogs to undergo DNA tests in order to identify culprits.

American staffordshires (Amstaffs) registered in NSW had the highest rate of attacking a child, adult or other dog in 2024, statistics show. But experts warn the data may not show the full picture, because dog breeds can be wrongly identified sometimes deliberately and often not identified at all.

This annual festival draws over 6,000 people and more than 2,500 dogs to William Street Park, located at the corner of East William Street and South 16th Street, just minutes from Downtown San Jose.

Scammers have reportedly been attaching flyers to vehicles in the area which include information about a $1,000 listing for toy poodle puppies, according to the commission. The flyers state that the puppies are 8 weeks old, fully vaccinated, and registered with all documents. In reality, there are no such puppies, and the flyers are part of an extortion scam. No dogs are being sold through the phone number, and the image used on the flyer is a stock photo, the commission said.

The latest recruit on Deion Sanders' roster weighs in at 700 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash as fast as she wants. Colorado's new live buffalo mascot will make her debut at Folsom Field on Saturday night against Wyoming. She's officially named Ralphie VII, although a unique nickname is soon to come after her first run. Ralphie VII is the latest in a string of field-storming live mascot buffaloes, a storied tradition and one of college football's most iconic. The running of the buffalo has been a must-glimpse event at the school for the past 58 years.

When a CEO leaves a business with immediate effect, you know something serious has happened. In Pets at Home's case, a nasty profit warning has cost Lyssa McGowan her job. Problems have been building up for some time and it's clear that time had run out as far as the board was concerned. McGowan was given quite a bit of time to turn the business around, but her strategic decisions haven't yielded the necessary success.

The renowned pet boarding and daycare brand is partnering with New York-based hospitality veterans The Dhillon Group to launch a state-of-the-art facility at 295 Front Street in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn, slated to open in early 2026.

Tobi a 15-year-old silky terrier with scruffy brown hair and long whiskers walked happily alongside his owner and best friend, Andrea Caceres in New York City one day this past August. He didn't flinch when traffic sounds from the nearby street spilled into the neighborhood park, or when an ambulance with blaring sirens whizzed by. "He's a real New Yorker," Caceres laughed. But the little dog wasn't always so familiar with the big city.

While they may look harmless in the garden, once they get inside your home they can quickly wreak havoc and cause costly damage to wiring, loft insulation and timber. The challenge with squirrels is that they're agile, persistent, and able to squeeze through even the smallest gaps in your roofline or eaves. If left unchecked, a single squirrel can set up a nest, reproduce, and turn your loft into a noisy, messy, and potentially hazardous space.
