Daisy & The Coyotes

Jessica Simpson is reported as being distraught after her dog Daisy, a Maltipoo, was snatched by coyotes in an attack last week.

It was an abrupt end to what was a very pampered life for young Daisy. Fed on the best steaks instead of dog food and rarely leaving her mistresses' lap, Daisy had it all.

Searches have been conducted for the poor pooch, but it is unlikely that she will now be found.

From Homeless Puppy to Rescue Dog

It's not every puppy who can progress from one day being a homeless waif in the local pound, to the next being a trainee rescue dog with the Search and Rescue Dogs Association (Sarda).

But Murphy is not any ordinary puppy. Sarda volunteer Chris Daw must have seen Murphy's potential when he first laid eyes on him.

Murphy is now undergoing specialist training and in about two years will be ready to go out on 5-hour search and rescue missions.

Way to go Murphy!
