By Barbara WOJAZER et Natalia YERMAK Rouski Tychky (Ukraine) (AFP) - Elena Goubenko a finalement accepté de quitter son domicile, à l'approche des soldats russes qui sont à nouveau à l'offensive dans la région de Kharkiv (nord-est de l'Ukraine). A une condition: qu'elle emmène avec elle la centaine de chiens qu'elle a secourus des années durant. "Je serai avec eux, où qu'ils soient (...). Ils sont toute ma vie", dit-elle en poussant ses animaux dans les cages que des volontaires chargent dans des camionnettes. De nombreux habitants de cette partie de l'Ukraine, à l'instar d'Elena Goubenko, son...

Toko Ueda spent $16,000 to become a dog and took his first steps in public. He was able to make this transformation by having a suit custom-made by the company Zeppet that is based on a collie. Ueda took his first public walk that was videotaped and posted on YouTube. The film shows behind-the-scene footage of Ueda in his dog costume when he was being interviewed by a German TV network RTL in 2022.

New York (AFP) - The lovable Labrador Retriever is no longer the most popular dog breed in the United States, as French Bulldogs take over the top spot, the American Kennel Club (AKC) announced Wednesday. Labs, which the New York-based registry describes as "famously friendly" and "an enthusiastic athlete," had been the most popular dog breed for 31 years prior to 2022. But Frenchies had "been quietly climbing the charts for many years," the AKC said in a statement. The small-dog breed, which like Labs are considered great pets for families, are described by AKC as "one-of-a-kind," with their ...

Washington (AFP) - They're well-known stereotypes: rottweilers and pit bulls are aggressive, while Labradors and golden retrievers are extra friendly. But a genetic study published in the journal Science on Thursday involving more than 2,000 dogs paired with 200,000 survey answers from owners demonstrates that the widespread assumptions are largely unfounded. To be sure, many behavioral traits can be inherited -- but the modern concept of breed offers only partial predictive value for most types of behavior -- and almost none whatsoever for how affectionate a dog will be, or conversely, how qu...

Washington (AFP) - The routine is now a familiar one: Open the kit, swirl a swab around, put it in solution and wait impatiently for the results. Except this time it's not a test for Covid -- it's a DNA test for dogs. The kits, which are used foremost to learn a dog's breeds, first appeared some 15 years ago and their popularity has since exploded in the United States, where nearly 40 percent of all families have at least one canine companion. "Having a dog and integrating them as a member of your family, you want to know where they're from," said Mila Bartos, a Washington lawyer. One of the m...

Washington (AFP) - Stand by for a major power shift in the White House: the dog-loving Bidens are getting a cat. "Yes that is true. He's waiting in the wings. She, she is waiting in the wings," First Lady Jill Biden told NBC's Today show in an interview broadcast Friday. The long-rumored arrival of a First Feline, which Press Secretary Jen Psaki once warned would "break the internet," means a new challenge for the Bidens' rambunctious German Shepherd Major. He has already experienced teething problems in settling into America's most famous address. The young former rescue dog, a faithful compa...

Washington (AFP) - The Bidens' rambunctious young dog Major is leaving the White House again, this time for extra schooling in how to behave more like a presidential canine. Michael LaRosa, a spokesman for First Lady Jill Biden, said Major would "undergo some additional training to help him adjust to life in the White House." "The off-site, private training will take place in the Washington, DC area, and it is expected to last a few weeks," LaRosa said. The transition to the White House has been tricky for the German Shepherd, a former rescue pup. In March, he was briefly sent back to the Bide...
