A teacup poodle was euthanized after she was attacked in Owings Mills by a dog identified as a pit bull, a Baltimore County police spokeswoman said. The poodle, named Chloe, was on a leash, walking with her owner, in the 8000 block of Greenspring Valley Road when she was bitten by another dog named Max, said police spokeswoman Cathy Batton. The poodle's owner was bitten when she tried to break the two dogs apart, Batton said. She said the poodle's owner described the dog that attacked them as black lab pit bull mix. After the attack, the poodle's owner told police her dog had to be euthanized at an animal hospital due to injuries from that attack, Batton said.

From the moment you get engaged, immediately after showering you with excitement and congratulations, everyone wants to know where and when the wedding will be. The dust hasn't even settled in your brain but you quickly realize that this wedding isn't going to plan itself. Before you can even consider the pretty little details, you must settle on a date. And you certainly can't set a date until you know where this massive event is going to take place. Fortunately, being as familiar with our fair city as we are, my fiancé I had a pretty short list of potential wedding venues.

City police say they are cracking down on dog owners who let their pets off the leash in Patterson Park, weeks after a poodle was attacked by two pit bulls who escaped from their backyard about a block away from the park. Maj. William Davis, commander of the Southeastern Police District, told the regular monthly community meeting at the precinct on Monday night that the department has issued 10 citations for having an unleashed dog in the park since Nov. 18, when the two male pit bulls attacked the standard poodle as he was getting out of a car with his owner, Joanne Dolgow.

Saturday is the day Fifi looks forward to every year. Fifi is the American Visionary Art Museum 's giant pink poodle-with-wheels, who once a year ventures outside to take part in what is clearly Baltimore's funkiest annual event, the Kinetic Sculpture Race . This year, some 36 land- and seaworthy vehicles, all strictly people-powered, will be taking part in the 15-mile race over land, sea, mud and sand. Like Fifi, some are designed to resemble animals; one of last year's crowd favorites was a hookah-smoking caterpillar.

New York is home to the Statue of Liberty, Coney Island, the Empire State Building. And, for the next month at least, the city will adopt a massively fluffy Baltimore-bred pink poodle named Fifi and a 10-foot-tall statue of Divine. Some 50 pieces from Baltimore's American Visionary Art Museum, a repository for the work of self-trained artists guided by their own unique and often impossible-to-define visions, will be gazing out from famed retailer Bergdorf Goodman's Fifth Avenue display windows for the next month.

President-elect Barack Obama has promised change. He has also promised his daughters a puppy. With the right dog, he can make good on both. From Thomas Jefferson's briards to George W. Bush's Scottish terriers, the White House doghouse has been stuffed with austere purebreds. The 44th president appears destined for a different kind of dog. Perhaps he'll choose one from a shelter, where there are "mutts like me," he said yesterday at his first news conference, addressing both the weighty family dog issue and the economic crisis.
