(AP) MOSCOW – Vera Lesovets held up photographs of her dog, Yasha, a spunky 5-year-old corgi, nipping playfully at the heels of a German shepherd twice her size. But Yasha’s life was cut short this week: After snacking on something in a Moscow park, she fell into a seizure at Lesovets’ apartment and began foaming at the mouth. The family rushed her to a nearby animal clinic, where the veterinarian said this was the sixth case he had seen that week, and there was nothing he could do. On Friday police opened a criminal investigation into what they suspect are poisonings by dog killers. Cruelty to animals is common in Russia and animal protection laws are rarely enforced, but reports of as many as 70 dead dogs this week have spurred the police to take action. While some residents suspected that a vigilante matriarch, wary of her children being bitten, might be the cause of the attacks, Lesovets was quick to suspect a more malicious culprit: dog hunters, a kind of deadly hobby gaining ground in the Russian online community. Dog hunting forums — the most well-known of which are Vreditelyam.net and Pest.net — are populated by those who call themselves “volunteers” and provide graphic photos of their trophy killings. The sites require extensive registration and identification processes for participants. “It’s a whole community. They have websites,” said Lesovets,...

(CBS/AP) Who has the most Emmys won by an actor, male or female? Mary Tyler Moore? Johnny Chase? Bill Cosby? Bea Arthur? Nope. Cloris Leachman. Pictures: Emmy nominees 2011Pictures: Creative Arts Emmys She had a chance to top herself at last week’s Creative Arts Emmy ceremony, set to air this Saturday on ReelzChannel, for her guest-starring role on “Raising Hope.” Leachman plays the only occasionally lucid Maw Maw on the Fox sitcom, which also earned star Martha Plimpton a nomination for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. The 85-year-old Leachman has won one Daytime and eight Primetime Emmy awards, but – spoiler alert – she lost out on her 10th trophy to “Glee” guest actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Still, Leachman’s Emmy record remains intact. “Well, I used to be tied with Sir Lawrence Olivier,” she said. “But he was kind enough to die, and then I was able to continue. So I thought that was very, very big of him especially since he’s English.” Leachman, whose first credits date back to the late 1940s, is perhaps best known for her work on the `70s sitcom classic “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” She said the Emmys have been cause for a friendly competition between her and her “MTM” costars, fellow multiple winners Moore and Ed Asner. “I remember Mary saying, `You have nine? I thought you had eight.’ `No, I...
