Suddenly in a dramatic moment, the dog emerged in the middle of [...]

If Your Dog Could Talk, Who Would It Sound Like?

Drew Weisholtz — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:27:29 +0000

All dogs bark, but have you ever stopped to think about who your pooch may sound like if it actually could talk? A new survey has found that 35% of owners with female dogs think their pet would sound like Whoopi Goldberg if it had a human voice. A total of 26% with male dogs [...]

This Corgi Does Not Appreciate Being Dressed Up Like a Panda

Emerald Catron — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:30:43 +0000

Maybe it’s not okay to laugh at the misery of others, but would you just look at how much this corgi hates wearing a panda costume? It is hilarious. Usually they seem like such cute, happy dogs. This one, however, has murder in its eyes. Seriously, if we were the owner of this corgi, we’d [...]

10 Adorable Animals Caught in Awkward Moments

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:11:46 +0000

People can be awkward. Missed high fives, cell phone crashing– humans are pretty darn good at making things hilariously embarrassing. Luckily for our own entertainment purposes, we’ve discovered another variety of awkward masters– animals! The thing is, four-legged strangeness comes in different varieties. Cats might hang out in super weird positions or maybe puppy love is [...]

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:

Man Buys Poodles, Discovers They're Actually Ferrets on Steroids

Emerald Catron — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:40:40 +0000

This is not a joke. A man at the largest outdoor bazaar in Buenos Aires bought two toy poodles from a vendor for $150 each. Only he didn't actually buy two poodles. He actually bought two ferrets that were hopped up on steroids and given fancy hairdos so they would look like poodles.

Capybara Playing With Puppies May Be the Cutest Thing You'll See Today

Emerald Catron — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:19:30 +0000

Okay, maybe we shouldn't say "playing with puppies." Maybe we should say "tolerating being pestered by puppies." Regardless ... SQUEEEE!! It's no secret that we love capybaras (proof), and Cheesecake likes to foster puppies at the animal rescue where she lives. Capybara + Puppies = day made.

Watch These Dogs With Their Heads Stuck in Bags — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:00:29 +0000

[onescreen item="5029273"] Somebody turn on the lights! For the record here, we’re not encouraging people to go around putting bags on their dogs’ heads just for fun and laughs—in most of these cases, the mischievous pooch in question stuck his head inside the dog-food bag when he shouldn’t have and learned a valuable lesson. Sometimes [...]

Drew Weisholtz — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:30:08 +0000

People aren’t the only ones who can be money hungry. A dog in New York City somehow managed to eat 111 pennies. Jack, a 13-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, ate the currency which he found in the home of his New York City owner. His owner promptly rushed Jack to the vet, where X-rays revealed a [...]

Daily Distraction — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:00:52 +0000

[onescreen item="5022145"] By now you’ve probably seen at least one video of a soldier or Marine returning home and seeing his dog for the first time. It’s one of the things the Internet does that really, genuinely tugs at your heartstrings. Watching how the dog can take a moment or two at first to recognize his [...]

12 Adorable Animals Taking 'Selfie' Photos

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:47:49 +0000

We have no idea why, but animals are like, super talented when it comes to photography. Remember how they're master photobombers? That's just the beginning. Even though their talent is slightly greater than that of us humans, there are zero complaints on our end, because the result is always entertaining, adorable, strangely hilarious or all of the above.

11 Guilty Dogs Caught in the Act

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 13:43:08 +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.

Drew Weisholtz — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:28:41 +0000

Sarah Shahzad — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:18:29 +0000

Banana Joe is a painfully cute black affenpinscher, a Dutch breed known for perfectly engineered fluffiness. He's been compared to an Ewok, a teddy bear and is being called a "monkey dog." At five-years-old, Joe is a veteran of shows like this, and his win at the Westminster Dog Show is his 86th (!) time achieving a Best in Show title.

10 Puppies in Pajamas

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:43:23 +0000

These days, it seems like dogs are getting more and more into the dressing like a human game. That or we're just getting more obsessed with clothing our canines in mini versions of stuff we wear. (The latter is true.) Either way, there are zero complaints on our end, because the results are just so stinkin' cute.

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? In this recent post via YouTube, an owner records their dog as they go running, climbing and digging in the backyard snow after [...]

11 Dogs Just Hanging Out in Backpacks

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 12:23:40 +0000

Dogs have it good these days. Like, really good. They're gaining all sorts of attention just for being fashionable or looking like a human. How do they do it? We haven't the slightest clue. All we know is these days they're gaining more casual fame by being photographed in their owner's backpacks like it's no biggie (and it's ridiculously cute).

10 Cute Dogs Saying 'I Love You'

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:29:05 +0000

There are few things we love more than dogs. Think about it-- they look awfully cute in tutus, sport hoodies like champs and even pull off the whole eyebrow look with ease. Our love for dogs is so strong, in fa

Emerald Catron — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:35:20 +0000

If you’re looking for a pet, but want something that your friends might find slightly disturbing, put down that ferret catalog, because this is the animal for you! Tonik is a Poodle/Shih Tzu mix who somehow got the face of a person. Look at his face. It’s like you simultaneously want to give him a [...]
