STOLEN ... Freddie The Jack Russell Terrier from Cambs.

A cold hearted thief taunted the owner of the dog he was stealing and then drove off while she looked on helplessly. Freddie, a tri-colour, smooth coated, short legged Jack Russell terrier, was standing on the drive of Freddie's owner (Ms H) home at Manea, March at 3.30pm on May 9th, 2006

Ms H was harnessing her horse, when she heard someone whistling to the dog. She could not let go of the young horse and Freddie was lured into the stranger's vehicle. Ms H had been aware of the vehicle, a white, open backed, twin cab 4 x 4, passing her property. It then turned around and she saw a man standing outside the vehicle with the door open calling to Freddie.

The man is described as "big and square looking" and was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. When he had snatched Freddie, he got into his vehicle and drove slowly down the road with his arm through the open window and his hand resting on the roof, looking back at Ms Habbin through the rear view mirror. "I know that if I had started to chase after him he would have accelerated away quickly," said Ms H. "Freddie travels in my van with me and we are the absolute best of friends.

He is my grandson's pet," she said. The three-year-old terrier has an overshot jaw which makes him look as though he is smiling and he has been castrated, so will not be able to breed.

Dog Whisperer Sued over Injury to TV Producers Dog

The host of US TV show The Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan, is being sued over an allegation that a pet Labrador was injured at his dog training centre.

TV producer Flody Suarez claims his pet Gator was suffocated by a choke collar and forced to run on a treadmill, which resulted in bleeding and bruising.
Mr Suarez claims medical costs have already reached £13,000 qnd equires further ongoing treatment.

Mr Suarez is suing for breach of contract, fraud, animal cruelty and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
He is seeking more than £13,520 in damages.
Mr Suarez said he took his dog to the clinic in February to treat phobias of strangers and other dogs.

In court papers filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court, he claimed Gator was rushed to a vet an hour after dropping his five-year-old pet off at Cesar Millan's Dog Psychology Centre.
The dog was "bleeding from his mouth and nose, in an oxygen tent gasping for breath with severe bruising to his back inner thighs", the legal papers said.

A spokesman for the National Geographic Channel said it had not been served with a lawsuit and did not comment on pending litigation
