The time the FDNY rescued the dog who got his head stuck under a fence at Tompkins Square Park

There was some doggy drama early this evening in Tompkins Square Park. Per witnesses, this Siberian Husky named Winter chased after a tennis ball — and got his head stuck under a fence.

FDNY Engine 28/Ladder 11 from East Second Street arrived to help.

All was well afterwards.

@evgrieve they used the jaws of life and the crowd cheered when it got free. So crazy!

Thanks to EVG reader Alta Tseng for the photos.

A warning about (or for?) dog nappers

EVG reader Melissa Elledge spotted this warning sign on East Eighth Street and Avenue B.

Has there been an outbreak of dog thefts of late?

Just a dog and his dowsing rod

Or maybe it's just a big stick.

Cute dogs in costumes alert for Saturday

The 23rd annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade is tomorrow, noon to 3. (Quick — how many Miley Cyrus and Walter White-inspired costumes will there be?)

Beggin' Stips is the sponsor ... and they apparently made a $10,000 donation to Tompkins Square Park and donated more $3,500 in prizes ... all which was discussed here.

East Village resident creates Puppydog Poop Mitts

East Village resident and EVG reader Pablo Galarza shared this information...

Over the past 15 years, I’ve used nearly every bag made to pick up after my beloved Brittany, Mack. I have tried The New York Times delivery sleeve, plastic bags from Walgreens, rectangular dog bags sold in rolls at pet stores and dozens of other random bags.

I recently founded Puppydog Products to create a mitten-shaped bag for cleaning up dog waste. The PuppyDog Poop Mitt is degradable and by far smartest and easiest way to clean up after your dog. No more fumbling to find the opening for the bag, no nasty scent to remind you of your chore, large enough to wear over a glove on cold days, and the unique mitten shape really makes pick up a breeze.

This is a DIY company so far, and my plan is to market them by word-of-mouth by giving away free samples to dog walkers/owners. Just send an email here with your address, and we'll send you a free pack of 30 Poop Mitts.
