Weeks ago in this column, I reviewed several Android and iPhone apps that can be used to possibly locate lost or stolen phones and tablets.

Now Google, known for its innovation and services, has offered a pair of very simple and free ways to locate almost any lost or stolen Android device, totally for free.

Pet of the week: Bullfrog

Bullfrog

Bullfrog is the perfect pup. He gets his name because of his big ol’ belly that sticks out like a bullfrog’s. Bullfrog is a 3-month-old, 15-pound Australian cattle dog mix. He and his siblings were abandoned on a porch in Orange at the young age of 2 weeks. A human foster mom has tenderly and lovingly raised all the pups in Bullfrog’s litter. Bullfrog is one lovable, rambunctious boy!
