Reprieve for Moscow's dogs

Moscow's thousands of stray dogs have something to wag their tails about - animal rights activists say the city has dropped a plan to round the dogs up and ship them to a camp far outside of town.

Animal rights activists and Russian celebrities had been pressuring the city to abandon the plan, which they said would endanger the dogs by placing them in an environment where diseases would run rampant.

Some had compared the planned facility to a concentration camp for dogs.
