Please Sign Petition To Suspend Dog Abuser, NFL Quarterback, Michael Vick

This week, a federal grand jury indicted NFL (National Football League) star quarterback Michael Vick and three cohorts on felony dogfighting charges. The National Football League is the largest and most prestigious professional American football league.


The abuses described in the indictment include a report of Vick being consulted before the execution of the losing dog "by wetting the dog down with water and electrocuting the animal."


The indictment also describes "the execution of approximately eight dogs that did not perform well in "testing" sessions ... by methods including hanging, drowning and slamming at least one dog's body to the ground."


Our friends from the Humane Society, USA, are calling for our help to sign their petition to call for Michael Vick to be suspended from the NFL immediately!


The NFL expressed “disappointment” and said, “We believe that all concerned should allow the legal process to determine the facts.” That’s just not good enough. The alleged acts were not petty or harmless; they were nothing short of gruesome and barbaric.



Sign the petition to the NFL today, and tell the league to suspend Michael Vick! Click on the link below to sign the Petition.

Support Our Dr. Dog Programme


Babe and Gideon, Malaysia's first Dr. Dogs have made several visits to old folks and children's omes since the launch of the Dr. Dog Programme in Malaysia. Here are some photos taken during the visit. The Chinese and English press have featured several other photos and reports of these visits with the Dr. Dogs.

Here is Babe on the right fussed over by the boys at a children's home at Taman Tan Yew Lai, Puchong.



Below is Gideon with one of the boys. The kids ask a lot of questions about dogs and gives us a chance to share.


The home has been looking after three strays which the boys also adore. Often these stray dogs join us during the visits to see what all the fuss is about :)

The FFF will be taking an expert along on our next trip to teach the home about how to take care of their three stray dogs, such as proper vaccination, neutering and how to understand dogs and care for them. FFF will sponsor the neutering. It is also planning community neutering projects by getting residents of a certain community to participate and contribute towards neutering of strays and release them back into the community where they are familiar with.



















Write to remembersheena@gmail.com if you would like to help in the following manner:


1. Bring your dog in for an examination to qualify for Dr. Dog. We need more dogs to help with the programme. Please note that Dr. Dog is open only to mixed breeds and mongrels for the moment and will later include pedigrees.


2. If you are a doctor, teacher, someone who runs a home or hospice, etc. please give our Dr. Dogs the opportunity to bring some cheer to those who need their spirits lifted.

Doctors and teachers can help find out if hospitals and schools will open their doors for these wonderful canine friends who work their own brand of magic to the point that even the sick recover quickly just by being around them.

3. Volunteer at the the Furry Friends Farm to help with the upkeep of the farm and care of the animals.
