| The Rescue Renaissance |
| | By Andrew Peterson | Read 3223 time(s) |
(July 2006) This is a story about the facts of life inside Siberian husky rescue in
Sydney, Australia. Even though most people know what pounds are and
what can happen inside them behind closed doors, the journey a rescue dog takes through
shelters and pounds starts long before that and ends long after it,
and along the way is bounced and buffeted by society and politics in a way that is
sometimes startling. The reality of life in rescue is something that you can sometimes only
learn through experience. |

But I did agree to give it a try. |

[Australia] The Paralysis Tick and the Brown Dog Tick are the two most common ticks on dogs. However, it is the Paralysis Tick that is by far the most dangerous. It causes paralysis in a variety of forms but a 'typical' case starts with weakness of the hindquarters that progresses to total paralysis of all four legs. Other typical early signs include an altered bark and vomiting. When the chest muscles and muscles of the throat become affected, the dog is in serious trouble. |

The Siberian Husky was originally developed by the Chukchi people of northeastern Siberia as an endurance sled dog. They were also used to herd reindeer. In 1909, the first large numbers of these Chukchi dogs were brought to Alaska to compete in the long-distance All-Alaska Sweepstakes races, and the Alaskan dog drivers quickly recognized the ability of these small, compact dogs from Siberia. |

whose behaviours have to be unravelled to work out how they
fit together into what we call personality. |
