Two old and grumpy wild dogs will spend the rest of their lives together, with full bellies and a warm place to sleep, thanks to a Lethbridge rescue group.

The dogs are nearly blind and mostly deaf, but somehow managed to survive together, living outside, for the past 14 years.

The mud and rain made for some tricky maneuvering, not to mention the dog was angry, scared and stressed by the experience. Turns out he had a reputation as a grumpy old dog, who had been running wild for years, surviving on handouts from staff and friends at the Kainai Board of Education Building."She wasn’t eating, she was wandering around really quite panicked, and they asked if we could take her too," said Kent.

The reaction was something the rescue volunteers hadn’t seen before, since the dogs were both extremely wild. They also have other challenges that come with old age and a tough life, including worn down teeth, arthritis and mobility issues. Kent said the dogs are still a bit confused about being indoors, and still haven’t warmed up to the volunteers.

Edmonton Elks: CFL team unveils new nameThe CFL team headquartered in Alberta's capital city will be known as the Edmonton Elks. The logo is really sharp and I'm glad they kept it EE but 'Elks' doesn't feel incredibly yellable for when we're back in the stadium. does not exactly roll off the tongue...actually when you say it it sounds like you are clearing your throat. Calgary still has, among other things, the best team name in the CFL and maybe the NFL too. CTVAtlantic I think that will catch on!
