MOVIE REVIEW
BAILEY'S BILLIONS
This 2005 Comedy
revolves around a sweet
and savvy talking Golden
Retriever named Bailey.
It all begins when
Bailey’s devoted
billionairess owner
bypasses her nephew in
her will and leaves her
entire billion-dollar
fortune to this doggone
lucky pooch. It is when
the disgruntled nephew
and his money-hungry
wife scheme to dognap
Bailey so that they can
get their greedy paws on
the inheritance that the
fun begins. They devise
a wicked plan to gain
custody of Bailey,
however the nasty
dognappers are not
prepared for what
happens when Bailey
shows his great street
smart abilities. The
fun really begins when a
little girl and her
mother who is a canine
behaviourist assisted
with Bailey’s great
pals, especially a
clever Border Collie
named Tessa set out on a
hilarious madcap
adventure to free their
four-legged friend from
the clutches of his
greedy dognappers.

DOG BREED OF THE MONTH
The Maltese is probably
one of the world’s
oldest dog breeds and
its origins stem from
the ancient Melita breed
from Malta. It was seen
to be a favourite of the
upper classes in ancient
Rome, Greece and steady
companions in the time
of Elizabeth I of
well-born English
ladies. Today it is
seen to be a
particularly popular dog in Japan.

test
The easy going personality of the Maltese makes it a highly suitable companion for the first-time dog owner because it is easily trainable and not at all destructive. Because of it’s compact size it is quite happy with a small yard or city living as long as it gets regular walks.

Did You Know?
Have
you ever wondered why
dogs turn around in
circles before they lay
down? This behaviour
goes back to the dogs
wild ancestors. When
these dogs prepared to
go to sleep they looked
around for a grassy spot
and after choosing a
place the dog would walk
around in circles to
trample down the long
grass, thus creating a
soft, comfortable bed.
Question & Answer
Do you think a Labrador
is a good dog to have
around a 2 year old
baby?
I would recommend
getting a puppy because
I think it would be
great for it grow up
together with your baby
and here are some the
reasons why.
Labradors are their
happiest when they are
with you. They are
loving, people oriented
dogs and will constantly
be bringing you things
they have found lying
about the house or yard.
They are wonderfully
patient with children
and make a great
addition to any family.
Not known for their
guard dog qualities they
may bark quite
protectively but will
generally not act more
aggressively than that.
They take many things in
their stride, are very
stable, not getting upset
by strange things or
occurrences and would
more than likely lick
someone to death than
hurt them. As indicated
by their use as guide
dogs, drug and bomb
detector dogs their
superior stability of
temperament and
trainability makes them
one of the most popular
choices for a family
pet, however as with any
breed of dog, they still
should be supervised
when around very small
children.

Quote of the Month
Have you ever considered
what your dog must think
of you? I mean, you come
home from the grocery
store with the most
amazing stuff, pork,
chicken, half a cow.
They must think you're
the greatest hunter on
earth!
Joke of the Month
"Beware of the Dog"
When going into a small
country store, a
stranger saw a very
large sign which said
DANGER! BEWARE OF THE
DOG! Upon looking around
he saw a harmless old
hound dog sound asleep
on the floor beside the
counter. Curiously
while scratching his
head he asked the store
manager. "Is that
the dog we are supposed
to beware of?" "Sure
is, that's him" he
relied. With a grin on
his face the amused
stranger remarked, "Well
that certainly doesn't
look like a very
dangerous dog to me, why
in the world would you
want to put that sign
up?" The owner
responded "Because,
before that sign was
there, people kept
tripping over him!"
