Animal control officers are investigating what may be a terrible case of animal cruelty. Inside an abandoned cardboard box in Fullerton, they discover an 18-month-old pug. Her hind legs appeared to have been deliberately severed.  The pug, named Mila, is on the mend. She has even figured out how to walk without her hind legs.  Mila has a long road to recovery and investigators have a challenging task in finding out who did this to her. After Mila was found, veterinarians rushed her into the first of many difficult surgeries. Her back legs are heavily bandaged as doctors determine the next steps in her treatment. If Mila is in any pain, she doesn't show it.

Fredrick Kunkle, The Washington Post Published 11:53 am PDT, Thursday, October 4, 2018 Spirit Airlines has become the latest airline to impose additional restrictions on emotional support animals, the discount carrier announced this week. Beginning Oct. 15, travelers will have to give Spirit at least 48 hours notice of their intention to travel with an emotional support animal and provide more documentation than the airline requires now. The carrier's move follows similar measures by Delta, American Airlines, United and Southwest to tighten rules on animals permitted to travel in the cabin. Under its previous policy, Spirit required only a recent letter from a medical doctor or licensed mental health professional stating why the traveler needed to have an animal while traveling. Once the change goes into effect, travelers will have to present three forms of documentation: a statement from the mental health professional, a veterinary form attesting to the animal's health … [Read more...] about Spirit becomes latest airline to impose stricter rules on emotional support animals
