SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- A dog weighing more than 120 pounds survived being frozen to a sidewalk overnight, probably because he was insulated by layers of fat, authorities said.

Shelter manager Carey Payne says few dogs could survive the single-digit temperatures, and it was probably the fat that made the difference.

I thought Obama was going to fix stuff like this. At any rate, Al Gore should adopt the pooch. I understand he’s taking name suggestions on his website.

That ain’t a dog. That’s Christmas dinner for a North Korean village.

I say stick the dog’s owner’s outside overnight and let their worthless a$$’s freeze to the sidewalk.

Our Labbie slept outside last night, though the low was only 44 and she was in a big cushy bed on our patio. Once she gets her winter coat going she likes it cool.

I imagine Snoopy escaped some years ago. I haven't seen him at the parade in some time.
