Written by my own paws - Mercy
When he was puppy, his hind legs were broken after being hit by a vehicle. He was in the middle of the road and it was raining. Mom rescued him and brought him home. She and Daddy brought him to our aunt who is a Veterinarian and she and her medical fixed his legs. Upon recovery, both hind legs were a little deformed and weak. So Danny walks with a limp now.
This evening, Daddy heard Danny whimpering and went to help him. Danny was lying on his side and controlling his pain.
Danny just starred at Daddy with trusting adorable eyes. After the command, he did not groan anymore.
Suddenly, Danny stood up and ran around the room. Daddy then said, "Praise the Lord".
When Daddy touched his hind legs, Danny complained with soft short barks.
Daddy who is a pastor, did the best thing he knew - He laid hands upon Danny's painful legs and commanded the pain to go in the mighty name of Jesus.

The December Report
Monday, December 05, 2011 Posted by revalbertkang
It has been a very long time since I have written. I have been very busy managing the household of three dogs and three monsters (cats of course). Since this is December, I better pen down my thoughts before the year slips away into eternity. So far, I am glad to report that our little animal farm is doing very well.
Once a while, the old monster, namely Jellicle, eyed at our dog foods. I, the grand matriarch of the Canine Tribe, made sure that the act of thievery never happened. The fat monster (Tabby Boy) is one lazy fella. All he does is to eat and sleep. I really wonder if he is a cat or a pig. Then the youngest of all monsters, who is much loved by Papa and Mama, is Alaska. Like her name, she is cool and even has the audacity to scratch our parents when she is not handled well. She sleeps on the top of the filing cabinet - the place where no monsters dare to violate. She sleeps on Papa's chair and covers it with her furs. She is wanting to be the queen of the house but I am determined not to let her. So far, her goal has not been able to come to pass and it will remain that way as long as I am alive.
Danny the black male species of my canine tribe has been submissive. Once in a while, I have to pin him down and teach him a lesson on obedience. Goodness is never a problem. Being my blood sister, she has a very submissive nature. When I dominate a bone, no one dares to take it away from me. However, Papa may take the bone away at any time. After all, he is the top-dog or pack-leader and so who am I to complain.
Christmas is here and both parents are busy with Christmas drama and other things of the season. Here, I like to share with you a nice picture of what we do during Christmas. Take care now and bow wow wow.! Please have a great Christmas and be sure to go to church.
The War Dogs
Wednesday, August 03, 2011 Posted by revalbertkang
When U.S. President Barack Obama went to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, last week for a highly publicized, but very private meeting with the commando team that killed Osama bin Laden, only one of the 81 members of the super-secret SEAL DevGru unit was identified by name: Cairo, the war dog.
(German shepherds are still used as war dogs by the American military but the lighter, stubbier Malinois is considered better for the tandem parachute jumping and rappelling operations often undertaken by SEAL teams. Labrador retrievers are also favoured by various military organizations around the world.)
Like their human counterparts, the dog SEALs are highly trained, highly skilled, highly motivated special ops experts, able to perform extraordinary military missions by SEa, Air and Land (thus the acronym). The dogs carry out a wide range of specialized duties for the military teams to which they are attached: With a sense of smell 40 times greater than a human’s, the dogs are trained to detect and identify both explosive material and hostile or hiding humans.
The dogs, equipped with video cameras, also enter certain danger zones first, allowing their handlers to see what’s ahead before humans follow. As mentioned before, SEAL dogs are even trained parachutists, jumping either in tandem with their handlers or solo, if the jump is into water.
The dogs are faithful, fearless and ferocious —incredibly frightening and efficient attackers.
Jim Slater was a canine handler on the Winnipeg Police Force when he crafted a Kevlar protective jacket for his own dog, Olaf, in the mid-1990s. Soon Slater was making body Armour for other cop dogs, then the Canadian military and soon the world. The standard K9 Storm vest also has a load-bearing harness system that makes it ideal for tandem rappelling and parachuting.
And then there are the special hi-tech add-ons that made the K9 Storm especially appealing to the U.S. Navy SEALs, who bought four of K9 Storm Inc.’s top-end Intruder “canine tactical assault suits” last year for $86,000. You can be sure Cairo was wearing one of those four suits when he jumped into bin Laden’s lair. Here’s an explanation of all the K9 Storm Intruder special features:
Just as the Navy SEALS and other elite special forces are the sharp point of the American military machine, so too are their dogs at the top of a canine military hierarchy.
In Memoriam: Daddy the Pit Bull
Saturday, July 30, 2011 Posted by revalbertkang
Cesar Millan, all his family and friends, his staff and volunteers, and dog lovers all around the world today will mourn the passing of one of the most loyal, trusting, well-balanced, and influential pit bull ambassadors the world has ever known. Daddy, Cesar’s longtime friend and partner in canine rehabilitation, died peacefully surrounded by family on Friday the 19th of February 201. He was sixteen years old.
He lived each day of those sixteen years happy and fulfilled as Cesar’s right-hand-“man,” helping to shape the behavior of entire generations of dogs by showing them the way to balance. He stood as champion for calm-submissive pit bulls everywhere, and was instrumental in helping to repair their image as violent, savage, uncontrollable beasts. He successfully battled cancer and weathered chemotherapy, and even got the opportunity to present at the 56th Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards!
His name is now added to that honorable roster of dogs gone by whose influence is still felt today, and which includes some of Cesar’s beloved childhood heroes: "Rin-Tin-Tin." "Lassie." … "Daddy."
He has been immortalized by Dog Whisperer fans in all mediums, from painting, to photographs, to charcoal drawings and papier-mâché sculpture. And, of course, he lives on in his work, reflected in the balance and calm-submission of his protégé Junior, the countless animals to whom he was a positive role model, and in the hearts and minds of everyone who knew him as a calm, sweet, and mellow example of a widely misunderstood breed.
