Fatal Instinct (Tue, 19 Jan 2010)
Name: Tucker Breed: Border Collie Mix Age: 2 years old ABOUT THE DOG:  Tucker was rescued in July 2006 by the Oregon Humane Society after they confiscated more than 40 puppies and dogs from a puppy mill in Oregon. Owners Kelly Perry and Rob Oberdorfer adopted Tucker when he was 10 weeks old - at the time, they were unaware of his obsession with moving water, particularly the ocean and streams. Now, he neurotically runs and chases the ocean, biting at the waves, even to the detriment of his health. ABOUT THE OWNER:  Kelly Perry works as a city park ranger in Beaverton, and Rob Oberdorfer is a legal assistant. BEHIND THE SCENES:  Normally, a day at the beach during work would be a dream come true, but the crew was dreading this beach day because it was so cold outside!

Name: Chico & Peanut Breed: Chihuahuas Age: 1.5 and 2 years old ABOUT THE DOGS: Owners Pauline Mercado and her daughter Christine Kenney purchased Peanut, a Chihuahua, from a private party when he was about six weeks old.

The long-distance relationship drove a wedge between the two dogs, and the first time they saw each other after the separation, they started fighting. From that initial reunion, the aggression has escalated to the point where the two dogs will now begin to fight if they are ever in the same room. ABOUT THE OWNER: Pauline is a professor in psychology, and she teaches graduate students to become school psychologists. Her daughter Christine is a student of psychology at Ventura College. BEHIND THE SCENES: Pauline’s father spent his time between takes playing golf in the Mercado’s back yard.
