A Bushkill man, hearing howling and noises, went into the woods to try to figure out what was happening when he heard a splash come from the pond at the bottom of his property.
He quickly drove his truck down to the pond, where he saw the head of a Rottweiler struggling to stay above water. He then spotted a German shepherd slipping beneath the ice as well.
Both dogs were returned to their owner, who lived nearby, and are OK.An official report filed by PETA itself shows that the animal rights group put to death nearly every dog, cat, and other pet it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 animals. Not counting pets brought to PETA for spaying or neutering, the organization killed 2,981 of the 3,061 "companion animals" it took in. According to VDACS, the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in Virginia was 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA's "kill rate" was 97.4 percent.
"It is absurd to classify PETA as a 'humane society' when its employees are slaughtering nearly every companion animal they bring in," said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. "PETA has killed over 17,000 pets since 1998. Given the group's astonishing habit of killing adoptable dogs and cats with such ruthless efficiency, it's only fair that the state of Virginia refer to PETA as a slaughterhouse."
CCF's letter to VDACS Commissioner Todd Haymore reads as follows:

Our Rescue Nina had spent a whole weekend with a potential new family.A dog bred by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daviann Mitchell yesterday was named the top Rottweiler in the country at the Westminster Dog Show.
Nighthawk's Born for Highwood, known as Ozz, won the Best in Breed category, and competes tonight at New York's Madison Square Garden against various other breeds for the Best in Group title for working dogs.
Ozz was the number one Rottweiler in the country for 2008, and also won the Best in Breed title at the American Kennel Club's national championship in December, his handler Mitchell said.
In addition, Ozz has won multiple Best in Show titles, the highest award given at a show open to all breeds of dog, and Best in Specialty Show, the highest award given at a show open to only specific breeds of dog, Mitchell stated.
She said that Ozz is "a friendly, loving dog," and "a good representation of the breed," which is often stereotyped negatively due to its size and strength.
"He's just a goof ball, he's very silly," Mitchell states of the pooch,
Ozz is known for jumping from the podium during the award ceremony at shows in order to pursue a toy, Mitchell said. "He's super playful."
Mitchell has worked as a professional show handler herself, and handled dogs at the Westminster show before. She has also handled Eli, a champion Rottweiler co-owned by Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Lori-Ann Jones and Deputy District Attorney Greta Walker.
A BERRY Brow woman escaped with a fine after appearing in court for neglecting a dog.Anne Green, pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a one-year-old rottweiler puppy that was in her care. The male dog, named Chase, was rescued from Mrs Green's tenth-floor flat at Holme Park Court by RSPCA officers.
RSPCA Inspectors went to the flat and saw the dog through the letterbox. She put tape seals over the door and her colleague returned two days later to find the seals intact. This meant the door had not been opened and nobody had been to the flat.
Inspectors contacted police who forced entry to the flat. The dog was found alone in the property, underweight and dehydrated but not in a serious condition. There was no food and the only water available was stagnant water in a mop bucket.
The balcony window was also open, leaving the dog vulnerable to a fall from the 10th storey.
Chase was taken away by the RSPCA and seen by a vet. He had an identity microchip and a scan of this revealed his owner was a Miss Heathcote, who had reported the Rottweiler missing to police months earlier.
Chase has now been returned to his original owner Miss Heathcote and is doing well.
