Man Doesn't Need an Alert System, Has Dog

This dog called Zeus alerts its owner every time an emergency test goes off with its own high-pitched siren. A Laguna Niguel veterinarian says this is not that unusual.

This is a test of the Emergency Alert System .... or in this case, this black Labrador called Zeus gives its owner a real earful.

Every Wednesday at noon the emergency warning system gets tested at his house in more ways than one.  

However, this high-pitched sound is not uncommon for a dog to make, says Laguna Niguel-based veterinarian,

"It is quite common for dogs to howl in response to a siren or loud noise. Wolves howl back and forth to communicate over long distances. Sometimes, our man-made noises resemble wolf or dog howls and the dog responds," said Wahl who has been practicing in Laguna Niguel for almost three decades.

I hit enter in the comment and it posted - I wasn't done! Why would it post if you don't clickRead More "post comment"?! I read one story and the scrunched up left placement gave me a headache. The ad column on the right is way too big - too wide. If they made that smaller, swapped the "board" column and the news (so the news was in the middle), I think it would be easier to read.

With the ad block on the right and the boards info in the middle, it feels like the news part isRead More scrunched too far to the left.
