KANSAS CITY, Mo. --  A 63-year-old woman says two nights ago her neighbor's two dogs attacked her and her beloved Yorkie, and killed her four-legged friend. “He was my baby. He was my heart. He was just so adorable. He was loved by everyone in our neighborhood," Rose Contreras said about her beloved Yorkie Terrier, Champ. For the last five years, the pair inseparable. “He was my little baby. He was grand-dog. He wasn’t just a dog, a pet,” Contreras said Thursday during an exclusive interview with FOX4’s Robert Townsend.

If you’ve ever had Bring Your Dog To Work Day or worked in a dog-friendly environment, you know how much fun it can be. Who wouldn’t want to spend their coffee breaks in the company of some furry friends? Well, one English teacher in Austin, Texas brings his dog to work with him every single day, much to the delight of his high school students. Banjo the corgi is super-cute and joins his owner Kenneth Snyder in the classroom daily, where we’re guessing he’s pretty popular.

People on Twitter agreed, and the tweet has now been been re-tweeted nearly 70,000 tim

When considering dog adoption, don’t rule out the crossbreeds. Scientific research indicates they’re generally healthier and longer lived than their purebred counterparts. Not to mention, there are some truly adorable combinations out there, like the playful cheagle (half Chihuahua, half beagle), or regal bullpug (half English bulldog, half pug). The term “designer dog” was first used in the late 20th century, and refers to companion dogs who have been deliberately crossbred from two or more purebreds.

Thankfully, as a photographer specializing in dog portraiture, I'm now in the very lucky position to make a living from hanging out with dogs. A dream come true. It never ceases to amaze me how unique every single dog is. Each and every one of them has its very special character, quirks, and personality. I try to portrait this in my pictures. You might have come across my series of skeptical dogs, questioning the photographer's sanity.
