Yes, there is are google headlines for "dog news today". It isn't all good news - but we won't dwell on that. And it is today's news.
I don't know if dog news is a recent regular item. Pet ownership is up almost 20% over pre-pandemic levels. The increase in the US is from 38% to 45% of households. Cats are more popular as well. In Canada 77% of Canadians have a pet - that includes cats and dogs. In Canada 33% own dogs. In Britain it is 36%.
So I guess that's a sizeable audience for dog news. I get the sense that Britain does more fun things with their dogs. The BBC has a few articles on the dog event in Sandford Parks Lido (that's British for a public, open-air swimming pool or beach). This is swimming pool is open for the last two weekends of the season to dogs. Then the pool is drained for the winter. Lots of pictures of Australian Shepards, Labs, and Retrievers. More than 1,000 dogs took part. I guess that accounts for the multiple articles - very cute pictures.
Millie hasn't shown interest in swimming pools - she goes to the edge. Spaniels are supposed to love the water and swimming. I haven't found out if she might like Lake Ontario - as we haven't gone for a walk at Charles Daley Park in the summer. That's prime time for the Watering can where she gets the hundred hugs from all the customers.
And I doubt Millie would be interested in the Lake in winter. I could find out if she's a swimming dog - our own Horseshoe area has dog swimming pools. K9 Fun Zone looks like an excellent choice as it has pictures of dogs in the pool. Lots of dogs and lots of pictures. They are always cute.
This is my idea of a pool - perfect for abstract aqua photographs.
