Chihuahua lured to safety with...a packet of Cheetos
We’re grateful for the rescue crews that help bring lost dogs to safety. We know it can’t be easy, and this Chihuahua needed an especially unique approach…

After being spotted along the freeway in San Diego, professional dog rescuers and California highway patrol tried to bring a lost Chihuahua to safety. After six unsuccessful attempts, two women in a nearby office had an idea.

Linda Lynch figured, “What dog doesn't love Cheetos?” She grabbed a bag from her desk and, along with her coworker, Caroline Brewer, was able to lure the tiny dog to safety.

Lynch and Brewer brought the Chihuahua to the Humane Society, where he earned his extremely fitting name: Cheeto Murphy. 🧡

Can dogs actually "watch" television?
What’s more relaxing than curling up on the couch with your dog to watch TV? Your dog may happily sit by your side, but it’s natural to wonder if they’re actually seeing what you’re seeing.

While humans have a better sense of sight than dogs, dogs actually have better motion perception. Studies have tested the rate at which people and dogs can observe the flicker speeds of different kinds of light, and dogs see flicker rates around 50% faster than humans.

As a result, the light from a TV screen most likely appears to be rapidly flickering to a dog, making the images appear less real. High-def TVs are a little better, as far as dogs are concerned. While your dog might not be following the story of the shows you binge, you can be sure that they enjoy your company!
