A Shih Tzu puppy ran loose on the freeway in Phoenix, Arizona, USA after its owner got into a car crash. Police had to block off the road and chase the small dog before it could be hit by the fast moving traffic all around it. The owner had her two dogs in the car with her when a chain-reaction crash caused her vehicle to flip three times. Only the one dog, a Shih Tzu escaped.
The word arthritis comes from the Greek word “Arthon” and is used to describe an inflammation of joints due to several causes, some being infection, metabolic, or genetically inherited causes. Humans are not the only ones who experience arthritis problems. Just like humans, dogs can also develop arthritis problems as they age. Arthritis in dogs is a health condition that can affect a variety of different breeds – including the shih tzu.
