The 2010 Pets On Parade is slowly approaching! As you may have read, we recently announced the arrival of the 3rd litter of Steel Pups. We’ve called on local artists to help us design these pups, but we still need a name to base a design around for one of our Mini Pups. So, we’re enlisting our friends and followers to help us Name That Pup!

The most original name will be chosen by the FETCH team, and the Mini Steel Pup will be designed to match by one of our local artists. The winner will receive a FETCH a Cure T-shirt as well as recognition as the inspiration behind the design.

The Steel Pups for the 2010 Pets on Parade are meant to reflect on these pet attributes:

Loyalty, Intelligence, Courage, & Kindness.

So, together we can LICK cancer!

Submissions can be made to @FETCHaCure on Twitter, to FETCHaCure’s Facebook Fan Page, or emailed to info@fetchacure.com. Please place all submissions by Monday, February 22, 2010.

We look forward to seeing what you come up with!

A dog that appeared to sense January’s California earthquake has been captured on surveillance camera.

On 9th January between 4PM and 5PM a 6.5 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter just offshore of Eureka on the Pacific coast of California caused some $20 million in damage. Officials claim to have received over 200 claims of damage but aside from cuts and bruises nobody was seriously injured. The offices of the daily newspaper serving Eureka and the North Coast, the Times-Standard, are located in Eureka and sustained considerable damage.

CCTV camera footage inside the offices of the newspaper captured events leading up to the earthquake and continued recording throughout. Times-Standard copy editor Jessica Richelderfer and production technician Brian Wheeler bring their Labrador Retriever called Sophie to work every day and the video appears to show Sophie sensing the earthquake before it struck.

“She happened to be sitting in view of the surveillance camera, which shows her reaction before and during the earthquake. When we saw the video, we really weren’t surprised by her reaction – she’s always been a very bright and loyal companion. But after we watched the footage a few times, we realized she sensed that before anyone, and at the very least she knew something bad was about to happen. We always knew our dog was smart – but we didn’t know she could smell an earthquake coming!” said Brian Wheeler on his blog.

Many of the comments received by Wheeler ask why Sophie appeared to run in the opposite direction to the exit. “The fact is she was running to find Jessica, whose desk was at the other end of the room. Jessica, however, was washing her hands at the restroom sink when it started. When Jessica wasn’t at her desk, Sophie rounded the corner and spotted her coming from the restroom and proceeded to escort her safely down the stairwell and out of the building,” added Wheeler.
