This morning, according to NBC Washington, the six-year-old Doberman was outside when fire erupted at his Beltsville, Md., home.  Monster starting barking furiously, and jumping on a sliding [...]

Let Daisy rest in peace, tweets Jessica Simpson

People can be such twits. (We can safely say that, since we are an all-dog staff.)
