HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- They're not as loaded as Leona Helmsley's pooch, but three Maryland canines are plenty rich enough to live high on the dog. The dogs - named Buckshot, Katie and Obu-Jet - inherited $400,000 and a house in Hagerstown with the death last year of owner Ken Kemper. Altogether, their estate is worth about $800,000. The beagle and two Labrador mixes were strays when Kemper adopted them. They now live at their house with caretaker Roy Grady. They might not be aware of their wealth, but they do know that on one night a week Grady treats them to spaghetti dinner, with meatballs and garlic bread. "They love it," he said. "They know when it's coming on Friday, too. They have that time clock." They also get top-notch health care. When Katie got out of the yard last summer and was hit by a car, she made 40 visits to a veterinarian's office to mend her broken legs and hip. The bill was close to $6,000. Helmsley's dog, a pampered but rep...

AUBURN, Calif. (AP) -- A three-pound Chihuahua mix named Tink helped police put a fugitive in the clink. The dog's Christmas Day adventure began when four suspects who were fleeing police crashed a stolen minivan into a hillside in this Sierra foothill town east of Sacramento, and one of them fled. Tink, a Pomeranian and Chihuahua mix, found him hiding under a neighbor's motor home and chased him into the woods, said Wendy Anderson. The dog belongs to her son. Her son and husband directed a law enforcement helicopter to where the 20-year-old man was hiding. "The Chihuahua gave him up," California Highway Patrol officer Jeff Herbert said. The three other suspects, including the driver, were juveniles from the San Francisco Bay area, Herbert said. The suspect who fled was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication and resisting arrest. The driver was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, felony evading, driving without a license and resisting arrest, Herbert said. T...

SAVANNAH, Georgia (AP) -- Marine Cpl. Dustin Jerome Lee and his German shepherd, Lex, scoured Iraq for roadside bombs together, slept next to each other and even posed in Santa hats for a holiday photo. Lex, the bomb-sniffing dog, is going to live with the family of Marine Cpl. Dustin Jerome Lee, who was killed in Iraq. When a mortar attack killed the 20-year-old Marine in Falluja a few months later, Lex, whimpering from his own injuries, had to be pulled away, Lee's father was told. That strong bond compelled the slain Marine's family to adopt 8-year-old Lex even though the military said he still had two years of service. The family lobbied the military for months, launched an Internet petition and enlisted the aid of a North Carolina congressman who took their case straight to the Marine Corps' top general. On Wednesday, the Marine Corps finally announced Lex could go home to Lee's family. It is the first time the military has granted a dog early retirement to be ado...
