A veterinarian says dogs can show hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention resembling human ADHD, but owners should not mistake normal behavior for illness. The Daily Mail reported that dozens of owners have described similar traits in their dogs online. One TikTok user posted a video of a dog “running laps” and asked whether it showed “textbook symptoms.” Researchers have examined ADHD-like behavior in dogs, including problems with focus and impulse control. But Dr. Guy Sandelowsky, founder of OMNI Pet Limited, says ordinary canine behavior can look much the same. That distinction matters. A restless puppy, a bored pet and a dog with a deeper behavior problem may act alike, yet require very different responses from an owner.…Open

A newborn kitten hitched an unplanned ride inside a vehicle's engine bay across 76 miles of Texas Hill Country, and a team of hospital workers, animal control, and a local rescue group pulled together to save it. A Peterson Health employee drove from Rocksprings, Texas, to Kerrville for a regular shift and had no idea a tiny passenger was tucked inside the engine compartment. When the worker arrived at the hospital and popped the hood, the kitten was still alive, wedged somewhere behind the front grille after roughly an hour and a half of highway driving across open ranchland. The City of Kerrville posted about the discovery on its official Facebook page, and the story spread fast. A Kerrville animal control officer and personnel from…Open

Vanessa Antonino finally saw her dog Flor again this week, 12 years after Flor vanished from Chicago, an outcome that highlights the power of persistence, volunteers, and simple precautions in reuniting lost pets with their families. Flor’s disappearance was the kind most pet owners dread and few ever resolve. Twelve years ago, Antonino left Flor in her car while heading to work on Chicago’s north side. “And one day, I just went to work. I left her in the car like always, and when I came back out, she was gone,” Antonino recalled.

I was from place to…Open

A house cat named Ginge vanished from his owner's home in Sunderland, England, and was found almost a year later living among a feral colony 86 miles away in Leeds, rescued only because a volunteer noticed he was too friendly to be a stray. Lucy Roche, a volunteer branch leader for the charity Cat Action Trust 1977, was making her regular rounds feeding feral cats in Garforth, a town outside Leeds, when one animal in the colony caught her attention. The cat rubbed against her, purred, and let her pet him, behavior that set him apart from the wary ferals she usually encounters. Roche brought the cat to a local veterinarian, where a microchip scan revealed his name was Ginge and his owner, a woman named Beth, lived more than 86 miles north…Open
