An Easter egg hunt for pooches was held Saturday.
The Sugar Grove Park District hosted its first Doggie Easter Egg Hunt in Volunteer Park, attracting about 50 dogs and their families to partake in the festivities.Dogs sniffed out treat-filled eggs and posed for pictures with Mr. E. Bunny himself.
Never fear, the treat- and toy-filled plastic eggs were collected by the humans and not scarfed up on the spot by Spot.
From NewsWest9.com serving Midland-Odessa in Texas comes an Associated Press story about a dog who helped find a missing man.
Jack DeBuck, 70, of Albuquerque, and his dog, who was not named in the story, were hiking and were missing for more than a day.
Eventually, they wandered into a cafe in Bernalillo, N.M., but DeBuck was disoriented and unable to give anyone information about himself.
The dog's microchip, however was able to tell police who DeBuck was and where he lived.
Maybe we should all get microchips implanted. Kidding. Just kidding.

Thinking of moving to Montana and are wondering which city is friendliest to dogs?
Who isn't?
Erin Madison, writing in the Great Fall Tribune, in Great Falls, Mont., has a story that tells the tail, er, tale.
Missoula boasts three companies that will take dogs out walking during the day while their owners are out. Bozeman has numerous areas in its park system where dogs can play off leash. Like Great Falls, Whitefish opened a dog park this past summer, and Billings hopes to open three dog parks in the future.
Turns out, in Bozeman dogs are allowed in Lowe's and Home Depot.
Montana sure isn't sounding bad now.
