Dogs

Some dogs in areas of northern Michigan have died of a disease which seems to be canine parvovirus, but not all of the dead dogs tested positive for the virus.

The dogs "are surprisingly in pretty good condition,” said Veronica Letts, an animal care technician with the Humane Society of Midland County. “They are up to date with their vaccinations, for the most part, but they are not in the slightest injured.”

The 13-pound Chihuahua, who hates men, children and other animals, was also described as "a chucky doll in a dog's body." Now, he has found a home with a 36-year-old single woman in Connecticut.
