Dogs in Pantyhose Are a Thing Now — Wait, What??

Emerald Catron — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:55:14 +0000

Well, the dogs don't seem particularly unhappy, so we guess this is okay. As long as dogs don't understand what dignity is, they'll probably be fine.

Owners in China have been stuffing their dogs into stocking and high heels, taking pictures of them, and putting them on the internet, because this is the world we live in now. Since you know you secretly want to see more of these, here you go:

Emerald Catron — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:50:13 +0000

Welp, it’s official. This dog’s life is more exciting than ours. He’s wakeboarding. He can do back flips. He got on a skateboard and didn’t break his collarbone. He is officially the coolest dog ever. But that’s not the best part. The best part is probably this GIF that he inspired. It’s the Michael Bay [...]

Abilene's Military Personnel Get Help for Their Pets From 'Dogs on Deployment' Foster Families

Rudy Fernandez — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 05:57:52 +0000

I was watching our local news yesterday and saw this story about our enlisted military personnel and their pets. What happens to Fido when our nations defenders are deployed to the other side of the earth? While in the past many of our nations service men and women would either send their pets to their parents or other family members, if that is an option. In most cases the enlisted personnel would surrender their pets to local animal shelters. Until now, Dogs On Deployment is a national non-profit that provides service members with an online database of individuals and/or families who are willing to welcome a Dog On Deployment into their home for the length of their owner's deployment.

11 Guilty Dogs Caught in the Act

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:43:08 +0000

We have some beef with dogs. How is it that they can get into loads of trouble, and we still can't get mad at them due ridiculous amounts of cuteness? It's sort of annoying, especially because most times pups know they're getting into shenanigans, but they do mischievous stuff anyway. Even then we still can't bear to punish the little buggers.

Dog Just Can't Handle the Snow

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:17:29 +0000

Looks like Scooter bit off more than she could chew when deciding to go adventuring through the snow. But can you blame her? Who doesn’t yen for playtime when flakes start a-falling?

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:06:21 +0000

One of the best parts about the Super Bowl is that everyone becomes football fans when it rolls around. It doesn't matter where you're from, whether or not you know what's going on or if you're just watching the game for the commercials (guilty)-- it's just a fun ol' time!

Kyle Dowling — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:06:24 +0000

Get ready for some tears, folks! It's never easy when an owner hears the horrid news of having to put their pet down. Coming to grips with the fact that a member of the family is suffering is difficult. But in this case, the owner of Lennox — a dog dying of severe cancer who also suffers from arthritis — decided not to focus on the negative. Instead, he chose to make Lennox's last meal an epic one.

See the Oscar Nominated Movies With Adorable Dog Actors

Christine Gritmon — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:39:54 +0000

The Oscars just won’t be the same this year without Uggie the Dog in attendance, but fear not! We refuse to live in a world where there isn't at least one dog at the Oscars, and we also refuse to do anything in moderation. Naturally we must present these posters for seven Oscar-nominated films if they’d featured all-canine casts. Take that, reality. We wonder which one will *fetch* the most awards this year (hahahahaha sorry).

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 20:15:25 +0000

Being a dog in today's society must be really confusing. They're probably thinking, "how have I suddenly sprouted human eyebrows?" or "why the heck am I driving Power Wheels?" The answer is simple -- because confused dogs are hilarious. That's why we love it when they catch a glimpse of themselves in the mirror.

In some cases, dogs can even dance, even if they have a disability. Meet Winston, a 2 year old English Bulldog that YouTube user ‘Jamynne Bowles‘ apparently rescued. The [...]
