Dog Who Chewed Off His Own Foot to Escape is on the Road to Recovery

Rocky, an 11-month-old German shepherd, came alive when veterinarian Matthew Wheaton entered the room.

Two Andean Bear Cubs Born at the National Zoo

An Andean bear has given birth to two cubs at the Smithsonian's National Zoo.

Zoo officials say the mama bear, 8-year-old Billie Jean, gave birth to the baby bears this week. Their father is a 21-year-old bear named Cisco.

Zookeepers are monitoring the new family via closed-circuit cameras to give them their space. That's so Billie Jean can quietly nurse and bond with her young.

Zookeepers say the cubs are just one of four Andean bear litters born in North America in nine years. Andean bears are considered a vulnerable species, with an estimated 2,000 left in the wild.

Washington, DC Area - This Rottweiler Mix Has Been Lost For Over a Year - Family is Devastated: Generous Reward for His Return - Have You Seen This Dog?

Havoc, a 5-year-old Rottweiler Mix has been missing since November 9, 2013. He was lost in the area of the Decarlia Reservoir at the boarder of NW Washington, DC and Bethesda, Maryland.

From His Family:

Havoc is a beloved member of the family, and we are devastated. It has been many tears and sleepless nights since our wonderful boy disappeared.  Havoc has been roaming Northwest, Washington, DC, since early November, 2013, as confirmed by k9 scent tracking teams. He is routinely seen, but to get him home, he must be kept in sight until Janet can arrive on the scene. It only takes a minute for Havoc to run off and disappear again. A generous award is being offered for his safe return.

Havoc is a 5-year-old neutered, mixed breed male. He is mostly black with tan-colored paws, muzzle and spots over his eyes. He weighs about 50 pounds and does have a microchip.

He is normally friendly, but after so long on his own, he's grown extremely frightened. He will run away if approached.

If you see him, please call Janet at (248) 755-7594, and follow him to track what direction he is moving in.

If you have a sighting of Havoc or would like to help in the search, please call Janet Mihalyfi (248) 755-7594 (Email: JanetMihalyfi@gmail.com)
