Three times a week, Kim Sill goes out into public and stands up for what she believes in. On Tuesdays and Sundays, she and a group of animal lovers protest outside Pets of Bel Air. On Saturdays, it's off to Malibu to protest Pet Headquarters. Even though Sill and her fellow protesters are peaceful, police are still called at least once a week by customers or shop owners, she says. Their goal is to get......

That was fast. I guess this proves that billboards and a massive, massive, massive amount of flyers put around the neighborhood can get your dog back. For background on Hedkayce (that's the dog's name), check out yesterday's story.......

Update: Hedkayce, the dog, has been found.The Silver Lake and Echo Park area was slammed with flyers this weekend showing this dog, pictured above. And if flyers were not enough, two billboards, back-to-back, at Sunset and Alvarado featured the cute dog asking anyone who has seen it or has found it to contact the owner. And who could afford such an effort? The one and only Dov Charney of American Apparel. One of the flyers......

An 90-year-old woman driving in San Bernardino County died when she stepped out of her car to search for her husband who left the car for unknown reasons. They were found 50 yards from their car and the 116 degree heat killed Virgil Sanders and the husband had 2nd......

The dog, a pit bull mix, was taken to an animal shelter while police investigated looking for the culprit. More odd news came out of Lancaster earlier this year when a man was killed by an arrow while crossing the......

The 21-year-old man who caused the insane and deadly crash that killed two early Saturday morning in Hollywood at Highland and Sunset has been charged with gross vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving. Speaking of crashes and cars, a Los Angeles Airport Police officer crashed his squad car into a car that was stopped at the scene of another accident. The vehicle's lights were off. No one was hurt and the officers canine partner, a......

In National Treasure: Book of Secrets when Nicholas Cage and his buddy break into a house, it was mentioned that the best security system was a dog. That turned out to be spot on when a mountain lion popped into a San Juan Capistrano home to say, "hello, dear.". Authorities said the young cougar wandered into a San Juan Capistrano home Monday. Homeowner Jo Ann Merrell said she was watering her plants when she saw......

Local cat and local dog snuggle. Yes, that dog does look like Salacious Crumb from Return of the Jedi.......

Living in Los Angeles with my dog Skeela has made me keenly aware of shit. Every day I wrap my hand in some sort of petro-chemical barrier, scoop up whatever solid matter has fallen out of my canine, tie a knot in a hand-to-shit barrier bag to seal off the stench, and then proceed to dispose of it cleanly in the nearest appropriate receptacle. My dog eats a well-balanced diet with plenty of whole......

This time it's justified -......

One of the great benefits of Los Angeles weather to man and beast is the year round use of Dog parks. As a playground for hounds and a social gathering hot spot for owners, dog parks provide an enjoyable, mostly incident free outing at any given time of day. The odds are there is one near you that hopefully is not being tested for radiation like the one in Brentwood. However like any community there......

That whole Doheny, Santa Monica, Melrose clusterfuck always gets me when I'm working an event at The Abbey. I hate how westbound Melrose forces you back onto eastbound Santa Monica. And I always forget it. Sometimes, I really think this intersection should have made LosAnjealous' The Great ‘Shittiest Intersections of LA Debate’: Losanjealous Edition Tonight, I overcame my traffic pattern amnesia and headed westbound one street south of Melrose - Rangely Ave. And that's......

When one neighbor gets lazy, another gets pissed... and a little creative (we love the double-meaning). This picture was taken fifteen feet away from the infamous Rye St. pedestrian bridge in Sherman Oaks, making this not the first time the small cul-de-sac has had to fight for their rights by taking things into their own hands. After the jump, AsianImage (YouTube Handle) shows the all too often irony of "Curb Your Dog" signs.......
