Nine dogs dead after fire. Owners did not have proper permit to house so many.
May 25—Flames broke out at a small residential structure in the city's South Broadway neighborhood Saturday shortly after noon killing nine dogs, marking the second incident in the past two months when a fire in the metro area has claimed the lives of multiple dogs. The blaze was under control within 11 minutes of firefighters responding, according to a news release from the department, however, the responders located and freed 17 dogs. but could only save nine of them at the scene. One of those died from injuries later. The two residents of the home who were displaced by the fire could be facing consequences. According to the city's Humane and Ethical Animal Rules and Treatment Ordinance, the maximum number of dogs an Albuquerque resident is allowed to have is four unless they have a permit. No permit was connected to the address or the dog's owners, according to Staci Drangmeister, spokeswoman for the mayor's office. She said the Animal Welfare department "will be issuing citations for non-compliance, and no dogs will be returned intact." According to the Ethical Animal Treatment page on the city's website, the penalty for being out of compliance with the ordinance is up to $500 or up to 90 days in jail. The department reportedly will conduct a further investigation to see if there were any other dogs at the home not discovered at the time of the fire. In April, a South Valley house fire killed 14 dogs in a fire that was allegedly "intentionally set." Those dogs included four puppies and their mother, an 18-year-old Shih Tzu, two Chihuahuas, a French bulldog, a pug, a Weimaraner, an American bulldog and several mixed breed dogs.

Dear Richard Madeley: ‘How can we make sure next door's big dog doesn't rile ours?'
Dear Richard, The people next door have a Weimaraner dog, a great big fellow, good-humoured but a little slobbery. He can be noisy at times and once he jumped the fence and trashed some plants – but the neighbours were hugely apologetic and rebuilt it more sturdily. Generally we have a good relationship, although we're not close. The problem is we have a long-standing commitment to get our own dog, and our two children are getting impatient. We're concerned that if we stayed at the cuter and fluffier end of the market the next-door dog would just see it as an animated chew toy. When we mentioned the plan to the neighbours they seemed to think this possibility was amusing. We don't particularly want to get a larger breed. Our gardens are a good size but the connecting fence – even in its new enhanced form – would not stop the dogs from interacting. We don't want to let our children down, but we don't want things to get any, let's say, yappier than they are. What's the best way forward? — Andi & Ruth, via Dear Andi & Ruth, I think you'll be just fine. Stop worrying. Weimaraners are not aggressive; in fact they're often described as 'Velcro dogs' because they love to be around people and other pets. They're also intelligent and keen to please, making them particularly trainable and biddable. They're especially good with children, too. So you're not living next door to some sub-X Bully creature, or any other breed known for aggressive, temperamental behaviour. It's a large unit, true, but a family-friendly, easy-going one. Once you've decided which breed you are going to choose, my advice is to contact a reputable local dog trainer for professional advice on how to introduce your new pet to next-door's dog. But I've already done some research on your behalf, and here are some basic pointers. They should first meet in a controlled, neutral environment such as a park. Both animals should be on the leash, and as you gradually allow them to get closer, reward positive interactions with treats, always supervising contact. Keep the initial meeting brief. Expect them to sniff and circle – or simply ignore each other. Obviously if they start to fight, intervene at once. Patience is required. It can take several weeks for two dogs to get used to each other. Good luck! Send me a picture of when they start playing together.

Dog Has Incredible Reaction to Trying Scalp Massager: 'Immediately Melted'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog has racked up millions of views for showing her appreciation for some very special pats. While many dogs can't beat a scratch behind the ears or a belly rub, Luna the 4-year-old long-haired Weimaraner, was the picture of relaxation when her owner treated her to a pampering session with a special scalp massager. "I use my scalp massager daily to help stimulate hair growth as part of my hair-care routine, and I often sit in the living room on a big cozy chair while I use it and scroll on my phone," Luna's owner, Eden Wilde, from Canada, told Newsweek. Describing her pup as a "very affectionate, cuddly dog who loves to cuddle every chance she can," Wilde said that Luna would often lie on her lap as she treated her hair with the scalp massager. Then, Wilde added, "one day, I tried the scalp massager on her head to see if she liked it—and she immediately melted and absolutely loved it, and would literally ask me to keep going when I took it off her head! "She liked it so much that she would come and lay on me and wait for her turn to get a head massage," Wilde said. "And so, one day, I filmed it, because her reaction to it is always so cute." Now a video shared to Wilde's TikTok account @whimsyandwitches on March 31 shows Luna's reaction in all its glory, racking up more than 1.2 million views and close to 200,000 likes. From left: Luna reacts to a scalp massager held by her owner. From left: Luna reacts to a scalp massager held by her owner. TikTok @whimsyandwitches In the clip, Luna lies next to Wilde on the sofa. As the owner asks her pup if she wants "a turn" of the massager, the dog is already looking bright-eyed with anticipation. And as Wilde places the massager on Luna's head, the pet has an immediate reaction: her eyes roll back on her head, her tongue pokes out, and she lays her head on Wilde's lap, as her owner coos: "Such a good girl, are you getting head scratchies?" TikTok users found the video adorable, with one writing: "I am 100% in love with all humans that treat and talk to their dogs like this." Another posted: "I'm glad this is where we are as a species." A third commented how Luna's eyes are "rolling back. She loves it!" And one comment read: "Great, now I have to buy my dogs a head massager." From left: Luna reacts with pleasure as owner, Eden Wilde, operates the massager. From left: Luna reacts with pleasure as owner, Eden Wilde, operates the massager. TikTok @whimsyandwitches Plenty more users discussed Luna's unusual coloring, as one asked: "What breed is this? She's absolutely adorable!" Weimaraners are noted to be friendly and obedient, good with children and affectionate toward family. The dogs are known for their silvery-gray coat, according to the American Kennel Club. In 2024, the Weimaraner, which is usually short-haired, was listed in 55th place on the AKC's list of most-popular dog breeds. "I didn't expect it to go viral," Wilde told Newsweek in response to Luna's legion of new online fans. "Honestly, I kinda just post my pets and my life for my own personal enjoyment—so it's been kinda funny how many people enjoyed her and the video!" Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? Send them to life@ with some details about your best friend, and they could appear in our Pet of the Week lineup.

Emily in Scotland's favourite spots around Inverness, from battlefields to coffee shops
Visiting the Black Isle to make a wish at the Clootie Well and spot some dolphins is the perfect way to spend a day, according to Emily Chalmers, aka, Emily In Scotland. She shares all her adventures and trips, often with her dog, a Weimaraner named Baxter, across the Highlands and beyond with thousands of online followers. Emily, who grew up in Dingwall, also uses her social media platforms to share interesting stories and legends from the area. The project manager found her inspiration after listening to her granddad's stories while 'touring about'. It was while the pair were driving all over the place that his many interesting stories would come out. Emily, who is based near Inverness, would then research these stories when she got home, and that's where her interest grew. Now she has 146k followers on Instagram, a further 177k on Facebook, and 112.4k on TikTok, who all tune in to be inspired. We chatted to Emily about her love of the Highlands, and some of her favourite things about Inverness… I live quite close to Loch Ness, so it's always what comes to my mind, but what probably interests me the most is the Culloden battlefield and its history. I'm getting a bit obsessive about the history of it all. I love the battlefield, and I walk Baxter there. The Clava Cairns are also right up there. I'm still waiting to see it during the winter solstice, that's when the sunrise lines up with all the stones. But, I missed it in December, so that's my goal for this year… if I remember. The Victorian Market is one of my favourite places now that it's been done up; it's so good. If I want something to eat, it's usually where I pop in. There's so much choice and it's so pretty with all the fairy lights, I really love it. The actual Bad Girl Bakery is just along the road at Muir of Ord, so I've gone there too many times. The cakes are not like normal-sized cakes! Because I'm from here, I've had way too many nights in Johnny Foxes and the Den, they're probably not memorable in that I cannot remember them. I always think a night out in Inverness should include live music at Hootananny's. I don't think you can get a more traditional, great Inverness experience than being in there. You never know what's going to be happening there. I think it's got to be the Mustard Seed, I think they are steadily good. And they use all locally sourced products, and it's just always really good. I haven't had a bad meal there. For something more casual I'm always at the Black Isle Brewery, I don't drink the beer but I am a sucker for those pizzas. They do one that's like truffle and mushrooms, it's so good. It's dog-friendly, so when Baxter and I are in the area, that's where we're going. I think I get a lot of my inspiration online, like I deep dive into old maps and Canmore. And going to visitor centres. I know a lot of people visit the battlefield, for example, but don't always necessarily go to the visitor centre, which is what I've done for years. I only recently went a couple of months ago, and it's filled with so much information. Talking to the locals is where you hear the best stories, from people who have witnessed it. One of my favourite stories is that my grandfather swore he saw the Loch Ness Monster, and not in the water. He saw it on the banks of Loch Ness sunbathing. I love little tidbits like that. My first memories are so old and nostalgic, but the clock in the Eastgate Centre that used to do a show — that was one of my favourite things that I would always go and look at. It always seemed like such a big thing going to Inverness, even from the back of Dingwall, it seemed like a big journey then. So in Inverness, my favourite is definitely the Milk Bar, there's one in the Victorian Market and they have one down by the river as well. You can sit outside, and it's really nice. My local cafe, Biagiotti, is so good, and one of my favourites as well. I'm a coffee fiend, so that's my area of expertise. I'm incredibly busy, and I have a lot of stays coming up that are quite exciting. I'm going to the Isle of Arran, and I've never been before. I'm going to be staying in what is essentially an upside-down boat, so the roof is a boat and there's a house underneath it. And I'm not long back from visiting my sister in New Zealand. My usual go-to is the Black Isle. I'll go make a wish at the Clootie Well (with a biodegradable rag) and then go around the coast to Chanonry Point to see if I can spot any dolphins. Baxter can have a good run on the beach, and then I'll get coffee and cake. That's usually my nice, calm afternoon if I need something easy-going.
