PRINCETON - Dogs don't normally wear headphones, but a puppy named Missy learned that they're required headgear whenever dogs board private planes that fly them to a new "leash" on life.
Missy, now going by the name of Kalie, is what's called a heeler, a cattle dog that's about 8 weeks old. Those eight weeks of her young life have been difficult, but the homeless puppy's fortunes turned around when a passer-by found her in a roadway, picked her up and took her to the Mercer County Animal Shelter.

It's a long, unlikely road from death row in a Louisiana dog pound to being one of the founding members of the local branch of Dog Scouts of America.

After just five minutes of animal chiropractor Jody Barkley working on his pelvis, lower lumbar spine and sacrum, Ralph was running around again - "Not Super-Dog yet, but noticeably improved," the Skiatook chiropractor said.
