As if cats weren’t enough competition. Now we dogs have to worry about cute little pigs elbowing us away from the center stage as man’s best friend. In England, “teacup pigs” are all the rage these days. Even Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley in Harry Potter films) has a couple.
Teacup pigs are miniature pigs, standing only [...]
So an admittedly very cute dog named Willow goes on the Today Show and her person holds up three different signs (they say “wave,” “sit up” and “bang!”) and Willow obeys their commands and everyone is all like “OMG that is the world’s smartest dog! OMG! That dog can read!” (With “bang!” she falls over [...]
Rumors are swirling around Capitol Hill about First Dog Bo Obama. Some say he did the unthinkable: He went number two on Air Force One. “You can imagine the horror on board when they discovered what it had done,” according to a Wall Street Journal source, who was referring to Bo and his alleged bathroom [...]

She does what any sensible person trying to convince the police that she didn’t throw an object at a person [...]
Bobby Wright, a dog-loving US Forest Service employee in Southern California, has had more than his share of hard times recently. His home burned down in a wildfire a few years ago. Earlier this year he was attacked and beaten while writing a $5 parking citation.
But nothing compares [...]

We’re still making stump speeches, of sorts, to get out the vote for dogs. (See previous entry, Vote for Dogs, Not for Cats!, for more on the debate and how you can cast your vote for the right animal.) While eating my loathesome kibble this morning, I read something in USA Today that I thought [...]
OK, dogs, it’s time to settle the age-old debate: Who’s better: Dogs or cats? We all know the answer to the question, of course, but it seems there are some people who just aren’t that quick on the uptake, and need a reminder. So we have to vote to let it be known, in no [...]
