SLC dogs at risk. A dog-training area in Salt Lake City, located at the Lee Kay Conservation Area, has been closed indefinitely due to potential contamination that led to the deaths of six dogs. The dogs that became sick were reported to have been training in the area and had exhibited symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. A dog trainer observed the dogs eating a crusty substance near the water, and shortly after, they began experiencing health issues. The cause of the contamination is yet to be confirmed, but tests are being conducted to determine the presence of bacteria. The Utah Division of Water Quality is collaborating to ensure the safety of visitors before reopening the area.
Service dog found. A Phoenix woman and her service dog, Mya, have been reunited after Mya was dognapped at a park six months prior. Mya, who assists Lindsay Deyo with her seizures, went missing in November and was found miles away by an animal search and rescue volunteer in May. Mya appeared to have lost weight, and Deyo planned to take her for a full veterinary checkup. The volunteer who found Mya noticed a dog resembling her being walked by a man and confirmed her identity through a microchip scanner. The man, who had bought Mya a few months earlier, was emotional but requested that Mya be returned to her family.

Whiskey wins over toys company. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of Jack Daniel's in a trademark dispute over dog toys that resemble the company's whiskey bottles. The court rejected VIP Products LLC's argument that the toys were protected as free speech under the First Amendment due to their parody nature. Justice Elena Kagan stated that the alleged trademark infringement by VIP fell within the realm of trademark law and did not receive special First Amendment protection. Jack Daniel's claimed a likelihood of confusion and violation of trademark law, while supporters of the ruling, including Nike and Campbell Soup, emphasized the importance of trademark protections for iconic brands.
