The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office and the Monmouth County SPCA are seeking the public's help in a potential animal cruelty case.

Man's best friend saves the day for a family in Beachwood this morning after alerting the residents about a fire inside the Harpoon Street home.

A Brick Township man is facing animal cruelty charges for allegedly leaving his dog out on the second floor fire escape of a Northrup Drive residence for several hours on Sunday when highs reached 99-degrees in parts of Ocean County. The dog later died.

It's a sad day in Monmouth County with the news Sheriff's Office K-9 Nanook, the partner of Officer Anthony Muscarella, has passed away.

I turn to the internet when I need a quick answer, or if I want to get some advice or instructions. What sites do you rely on?

When my dog, Taylor, discovered a family of groundhogs in HER backyard, she made quite a scene. Barking, howling, and "Aroooooo"ing until the critters all scurried away.

I'm spending a lot more quality time with my dog these days. I realized that I'm often so busy working and running around that she's not really getting the best part of me. She's getting what's leftover after long, hectic days. That's really not fair to her so I'm using this health scare to get me back to being a more attentive doggie parent.

Assuming Barbra Streisand's decision to clone her beloved dog came from that deep love that we all have for our pets, I can sort of understand her motivation. But if I had to chose one side or the other, I'd rather adopt a dog rather than clone. What are your reasons for and against cloning?

Many people and pets have had a bit of cabin fever being cooped up during the past couple of weeks of frigid temps and snowy, icy conditions. What will YOU do to take advantage of the warm temperatures today? I'm going to sit outside and read while I enjoy a nice cup of tea. Then Taylor and I will have a play date with my friends and their dogs.
