Dogs Pass Oldest-Known Cancer by Having Sex

(Newser) – Scientists have spotted the oldest-known living form of cancer, and it’s an odd one—passed sexually from dog to dog over the past 11,000 years, the Smithsonian reports. By decoding the cancer’s genome, British researchers found that it dates back to a dog with short, dark fur and the look of a modern-day Alaskan malamute, reports the BBC. And while it’s old, it only started traveling around the world during the time of Christopher Columbus, probably with dogs who traveled along on sea voyages.

That’s also the time when “humans were really manipulating dogs and breeding them strongly for some product—whether it was a lap dog, a purse dog or a hunting dog,” an evolutionary geneticist tells Nature. The disease is unlike most human cancers, because it underwent a stunning 1.9 million mutations (compared to the several thousand found in ours) and it’s not too scary—typically disappearing from dogs that get it, The Loom notes. That’s quite unlike the world’s only other known contagious cancer in the wild, a facial tumor that spreads among Tasmanian devils and typically kills them in a matter of months.

Week in Gaming: See Watch Dogs unboxed as you watch dogs humping in GTA 5

If you haven’t already guessed, this Week in Gaming arrives with a bit of a theme. You see, we don’t think man’s best friend gets enough celebration in the gaming world. Not enough at all.

But the last seven days have proved that the tide is changing. Game designers are finally realising that humans are so 1999, and we’re right behind them. The dog is where it’s at.

Getting busy in Los Pantos

When you’ve got a game like GTA 5 about to break, trying to suppress leaks is going to be an impossible task. And sure enough, one lucky person got his fingers wrapped around an early copy this week. So what was first on his agenda for showing the new Grand Theft Auto to the world?

Did he travel the lengths of San Andreas to demonstrate its jaw-dropping vastness? Perhaps an insightful look at how the enhanced RAGE engine performs during demanding gameplay?

Nah. He watched two dogs going at it.

There were some other videos too, including one of him getting Franklin thrown out of a strip club. Y’know – all the stuff we’ve been dying to see.

Trevor
The new Mario Galaxy had progressed a little bit

So at least we now know how the dogs of Los Santos will be keeping themselves occupied while we’re tearing up the city. The clips have since been removed but will no doubt have popped up elsewhere, so if you’re looking to avoid all GTA 5 spoilers (randy dogs are not an earth-shattering revelation) you’d do well to just switch the internet off until Tuesday.

Collar Duty

But when dogs aren’t doing the business, they’re taking down helicopters. Or at least that’s what Call of Duty has taught us this week.

The idea of adding a dog to the Call of Duty series was met with a lot of shoulder-shrugging but that’s all changed with the new Call of Duty: Ghosts trailer. Sure, it’s mostly run-of-the-mill footage, but just when you think we’ve seen all this before, a DOG takes out a HELICOPTER.

Skip to 1:28 for evidence…

You’d never see those Nintendogs doing any of this stuff. Part-timers.

City walkies

It feels like Watch Dogs may be the only game that could give GTA 5 a run for its money in terms of sheer scale and ambition right now.

For those of you lapping up every last bit of high-tech hacking, this week brought a trailer for the DeadSec collector’s edition.

The pack, set to be available in the UK and Australia (sorry US), comes with an 80-page art book, a copy of the game’s soundtrack, a map of the fictional version of Chicago, an Aiden Pearce figurine, a steelbook case and four AR cards. [CVG]

Dealing With Dog Aggression Towards Other Dogs

Dog aggression towards other dogs is a behavior that you may encounter in your own pet. As an owner, you should take measures to train your pet to behave appropriately. This should be dealt with immediately to avoid increasing safety risks to you and your pet. This behavior can occur due to genetic reasons, a past trauma or just a need for training.

It can begin with something with an act like staring. Then the aggressiveness can escalate to barking and even fighting. As an owner, you must not comfort the involved animal or he will take this as encouragement and repeat the behavior.

A confrontation may last from a couple of seconds to a few minutes. If the fight continues, do not attempt to stop it by using your body to get in between the animals. This puts you in a very vulnerable position. If your pet has been injured, then take him to the doctor just to be safe.

If your pet has been acting aggressively, then observe what kind of situations trigger this behavior. Do your best to avoid similar situations. If your pet starts to act up, especially when you are outside, then do your best to control him. It might be best to buy a muzzle and a halter.

You should teach your pet is to concentrate on you at a command. A command such as this will distract him from otherwise provoking situations. You should start by giving your sessions in a room where there is no distractions. Give your pet a reward each time he complies with your commands.

Your pet is sensitive to emotions and will pick up on what you are feeling. Therefore, when you are out with him and there are people or animals around, it is critical that you remain calm. Do not communicate your anxiety by pulling on the leash.

Remember to put a lot of distance between your pet and unfamiliar animals. If you are walking him and you encounter another pet, then cross the street or let the owner and his pet pass first. Moreover, you can also prevent your pet from getting a visual by putting your body or an object opposite him.

You should also take steps to desensitize your pet from animals. Socializing will help your pet be more confident with interactive activities. If your pets behavior remains unchanged with any training or approach, then it may be time to consult a behaviorist to correct dog aggression towards other dogs.

Chilly Weather and Cute Dog Clothes

Keep your dog warm in the Autumn months with cute dog clothes. Small dogs will catch a chill if they are not wearing a dog dress or dog coat. So, keep your dog warmer with a warmer outfit for fall. Most of the dog breeds we have were not intended for a cooler climate. If you choose to live in colder, fall weather, then give your pet a little dress or shirt to keep warmer.

When your house dog goes outside, a warm dog coat or dog sweater is needed to keep it warm. When it is raining, a dog raincoat is necessary to keep your furniture dry when he comes back inside the house. There is nothing worse then letting your dog inside after a walk in the rain and have him shake water all over the furniture, rugs and floors. A dog raincoat can be removed immediately and your dog is still dry underneath.

There are lots of really cute dog clothes on the Internet. They range from simple white dog dresses, heavy dog coats, designer dog dresses, blue jeans, dog jogging suits, goggles and shoes! Just about everything you find in people apparel is also found in dog outfits. Prices range from really cheap to very, very expensive.

Find a pet clothing store on the web that is mid-range to start unless you see an outfit that you absolutely must have now. Usually, the really expensive dog clothes can be found for less on other websites, too. The manufacturers tend to sell to many companies, not just one. All retailers set their own pricing and you\’ll see it greatly varies from store to store.

It doesn\’t take a lot of clothes for your dog to stay warm in Autumn. A dog dress or dog shirt is all that he or she needs to keep warm. You don\’t want your best buddy to catch his death of cold when going outside to do his business. Put on a little coat or maybe even a pair of dog pants to keep him or her warm out there.

Why dogs should not be allowed to eat chocolates

People love dogs. Pet owners have the habit of tossing a piece of the food they are eating with the pet not knowing that some people food can poison the pet. A pet owner would wonder why foods that give humans a lot of benefits would be harmful to dogs. Humans and dog have many genetic similarities but they are also different in a lot of ways. One of these differences is the dog\’s inability to digest chocolates. The toxic effect of chocolates on dogs is made more dangerous because a lot of dog owners are unaware of this fact. Chocolates are comfort foods that give humans loads of benefits. Chocolates and dogs though is a bad combination.

The substance theobromine that is found in chocolates is what makes this world\’s most loved treat toxic to dogs. Cocoa beans from where chocolates are derived contains the substance theobromine. This chemical acts as a stimulant and has the effect of increasing the frequency of urination and affecting the central nervous system as well as the heart muscles. The toxic effects of theobromine in dogs is caused by dog\’s inability to digest this substance. A dog that continuously ingest small amount of chocolates will eventually develop a variety of medical concerns because the dog\’s inability to digest theobromine would result to an accumulation of this toxic substance.

People love chocolates and because dogs are well loved pets, the chocolate bar or the Black Forest cake the dog owner is eating will be shared with the pet. Apparently, a dog will not show signs of poisoning if only a small amount of these kinds of chocolates are consumed.

A good news to dog owners that are unaware of the harmful effects of chocolates to the dog is the fact that the toxicity of this food is dose dependent so that the pet has to consume from 100 to 150 milligrams of chocolate per kilogram of body weight before the pet will be affected. The toxicity level would depend on the type of chocolate consumed. The toxicity level is much lower in white chocolates because this type of chocolate contains very little theobromine.

Because of the low theobromine content, a dog has to consume 200 ounces of white chocolates before clinical signs of poisoning can be noticed. Milk chocolates and semi-sweet chocolates contains more of toxic substance thus a substantial amount consumed will be dangerous to the pet. The baking chocolate is the most dangerous ass it has the highest theobromine content. Although a dog owner may not give the dog baking chocolate it is still possible for the dog to ingest substantial amount because the dog\’s nose would find where the chocolates are kept and would have an eating spree. The dog has to have medical attention ASAP. It is always good to know what to do if your dog has eaten chocolate.
