A Wisconsin beagle research facility that's drawn animal welfare protests is closing and its remaining dogs are being taken in by a rescue group.
About 40 dogs were rescued from a burning home this week in Northwest Indiana, fire officials said.
A rescue operation was underway for hundreds of dogs and cats at a property in Los Angeles County, California Friday morning.
A small dog was rescued after the animal got stuck high above the street on a support beam for the train tracks in Philadelphia.
Rudy the dog was miraculously unharmed, and after over two hours of being stuck on a tiny, cold and wet ledge next to a rushing waterfall, he jumped eagerly into Captain Greco's lap.
The man initially indicated that the rooster was his pet and that he was training it to fight. He later said he was trying to train the animal to defend itself.
