We are baby sitting my grand daughter's puppy this week. He has been having fun with the toads in our yard--no toads were injured in the making of these photos!



Katherine, a fantastic set of these two getting along.

Here in Hawaii we have a BIG problem with toads, specifically cane toads. The cane toads like so many other invasive species here were brought in by sugar cane plantations to solve a problem (mosquitos) but, of course, the toads propagated without bounds. More importantly from a dog/cat owner's perspective the cane toad has toxins in pockets on its head that can kill or seriously sicken a dog with even minor contact. It can be a long and painful way for a pet to die too. So here toad/pet encounters are serious matters requiring quick intervention.

Good point. Its also not just Cane Toads.
I had a highschool friend who's Husky Puppy picked up a toad in its mouth and we had to rush it to the vet and as far as I know it was just a normal Western PA toad.

Cute pictures of the puppy with the toad. I especially like the first one.

When I was stationed at Hickam AFB many years ago we were informed that the mongoose was an invasive species imported by the sugar cane farmers (again) to control the rat population. Trouble is the rat is nocturnal but the mongoose is diurnal. The mongoose never came in contact with their rodent prey, and native bird populations began crashing instead. When humans interfere with Mother Nature they just screw everything up.
