A lot of hound dog breeds, like Basset Hounds, were bred to announce themselves and communicate with their fellow hunters. The result is vocal dogs who can regularly be heard howling (or baying, as it's often called).

The Swamp Park Outdoor Adventure Center in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, posted eerie videos on social media on Sunday showing alligators suspended in frozen ponds with just the tips of their snouts peeking above the ice. In one video, Assistant Manager Scott Perry got up close with one of the "swamp puppies" in their frozen state, reaching out to "boop" one motionless alligator's nose, while warning viewers, "Don't do this at home."

Canine lymphomas are similar to non-Hodgkin's lymphomas which occur in humans, according to the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. Both are identical in appearance (under the microscope) and have a similar response to chemotherapy. Scientists have identified over 30 types of canine lymphoma, which can vary in behavior. Some develop more quickly and are life-threatening without treatment, while others develop more slowly and can be managed as a chronic disease. With lymphoma estimated to affect 1 in 15 dogs, it's important to be informed about what causes it, the symptoms...
