HUNGARIAN WEIGHT PULLING DOGS : SEE THEM SWEAT AND STRAIN! : IS THIS ANIMAL ABUSE?

I didn't know if I should be sorry for these dogs or proud of them! Researching a bit about "Hungarian Dogs" I found this video! Crazy?! I want to know more about this subject! I told some friends about this video and others like it and they said "That's Animal Cruelty." Anyone want to leave an opinion?

ZSA ZSA's FAMILY INFIGHTING... PALM SPRINGS NEWSPAPER REPORTS ON THE HE SAID SHE SAID

"As the former socialite and actress lies motionless — unable to eat, barely able to communicate, hardly knowing where she is — tensions seethe between the two people closest to Gabor: Her husband of 25 years, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, and her only daughter, Francesca Hilton."

The last of the Gabor sisters, who brought exotic Hungarianess to Hollywood, Zsa Zsa Gabor seems to be in the process of dying. She is the only sister to have a child and she has this one daughter from her marriage with Hilton. Both Zsa Zsa and her husband seem to be eccentrics. We can only hope that all of this drama will be resolved peaceably!

SO YOU WANT TO BUY A HOUSE ON THE LAKE? HOW ABOUT AN ABBEY?

This article is a year old but it's a good review of the real estate available in Hungary from the International Real Estate section of the New York Times.
