BFTB Channel 7 NETWoof News 12/15/2014

Did he or didn't he? Find out our Top Story below.

Bentley: “Welcome to this week’s BFTB Channel 7 NETWoof News.  I’m Bentley and along with my co-host Pierre, we bring you all the news we nose.  Hee Hee!  That’s a newshound joke.  Our top story today is not a joke, but a case of “Do All Dogs Go to Heaven?”  It was widely reported that Pope Francis comforted a small child with the words, “One day we will see our animals again.  Paradise is open to all of God’s creatures.”  The Vatican spokesperson has discredited the account, but not before it went viral.  What do you think Pierre?”

Pierre: “I am at a loss as to why this is even a question.  It’s like the author James Thurber said, “If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven and very, very, few persons.”  Anyway, my plan is to live forever and so far, so good!  Speaking of good, here is a great story about Chance.”

Bentley: “You must be referring to the story out of Tennessee.  A disabled Vietnam Vet fell and was bleeding.  He was also unconscious.  Luckily his dog, a Pit Bull/Boxer mix was there to help.”

Pierre: “That’s right Bentley.  Chance may have hip dysplasia and be ten-years old, but that didn’t keep him from pawing the door open.  He somehow managed to jump the fence and go to the neighbors.  When they saw him with blood on his paws and nose, they ran back to Chance’s home.  His owner was still on the floor.  The neighbors were previously scared of the big dog, but now consider Chance a hero.”

Bentley: “That is what I call the Chance of a lifetime!  Before we move to the sports, I’d like to give a Christmas card count.  I believe that you can see from my chalk tote board that Pierre and I have received a gazillion several more than Mom and Dad.  I’m sure theirs are just delayed for some good reason.  *Whispers to Pierre; “The reason is they aren’t getting any! Snicker

Pierre: “On the…giggle, snicker  On the sports front, we are pleased to announce that our German-shorthaired Pointer pal, Cello has done it again!  For the second year in a row, she has taken first place in the Finals at Easton Waterfowl Festival in Easton, MD.  This time, she won first in the Elite Division.  That is one whole entire division higher than last year’s Masters Division.  You can keep up with Cello and her little brother Hooch on Instagram or their website, Cello's Corner.”

Cello is flying high in Elite Dock Diving.

Bentley: “I’m not sure if this is considered sporting news other than it involves a very awesome award winning Chesapeake Bay Retriever from our friends at Sand Spring Chesapeakes.  Their sweet girl Glory will find out if she is going to become a mommy this Wednesday, December 17^th.  She goes in for an ultra-sound, so let’s keep our paws crossed for her.”

Pierre: “Puppies are fun.  At least that is what Gramma said.  She saw her potential new granddog yesterday.  Your human boy is getting a chocolate Lab puppy.  Can you believe that?”

Bentley: “I am not surprised.  The poor dude is probably at a total loss without me around.  He and his wife need a pup to call their own.  I wish them nothing, but sunny skies.  That’s a lot more than I can wish for us.  It looks like we are going to endure some thunderstorms today.  After rolling through the Bayou, these nasty storms will continue to head east.  The rest of the country will be experiencing rain and possibly a few mudslides.  Y’all grab your galoshes; it’s going to be a messy week.”

Pierre: “We are so happy to have you join us today.  Bentley, do you have any final words?’

Bentley: Yes; as always, stay safe, and be sure to grab yourself some happy.”
