Chopper Skyforce 10 news crew catch dogs in the act (LIVE!)
WE go LIVE! with NBC’s Philadelphia News’ “Chopper SkyForce 10″. High over Germantown, Pa., the news sleuths zoom in on a home being used, allegedly, for running a dogfighting ring. A rumour is good enough for the voyeurs of Chopper Skyforce 10 crew, who think nothing of peeking down on wrongdoers from high above. Doggers beware!
And viewers got a taste of just how good that camera was when it focused on two of the dogs. As WCAU reporter Christine Maddela attempted to report on her findings, the SkyForce 10 camera caught a dog getting intimate with his pal.
“You can see that one dog is, um, chained up, ” Maddela said before the camera quickly zoomed out and the copter moved to film the front yard instead.

ONCE upon a time fat mwas equated with being jolly. Fat people indulged themselves on life’s treats. Billy Bunter might have been a bloater, but the “Fat Owl of the Remove” was the only character at Greyfriars School who could shift books and films. So, to Alfie, a 12-year-old cream Labrador who weighed 12st 5lbs.
Alfie’s owner is suffering from dementia. This, goes the official line, is why they kept feeding Alfie. The owner’s daughter called the RSPCA.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Wants To Eat Your Puppies
FACE it. TV chefs are scum. They harangue you through your television set to tell you that you’re doing it all wrong. You aren’t growing your own vegetables, despite the fact there’s no allotments in your area and you live in a one-bedroomed flat three stories up. You’re not making things with celeriac, even though it looks like something tested on in Roswell and tastes like hell.
Basically, you are a lousy human-being who should be ashamed of wanting a Big Mac now and then.
