Vote: Would you eat dog?

The book, “Eating Animals,” hits the shelves today. It has already received tremendous accolades from critics of all stripes and spots. Natalie Portman writes in the Huffington Post that she read the book — a preview copy, we assume, which we did not have the privilege of receiving at Dog Daily News — and turned [...]

Fat Bob’s diet secret: Scrap the fish suppers

We’ve been having a little disagreement here at the office. It’s about a dog named Bob. Fat Bob, to be precise. Fat Bob was living the high life in Scotland. He enjoyed a regular diet of fish suppers and four cans of dog food nearly every day. He became a bit large on this heavenly [...]

Video: 147-year-old dog still running around

Otto, a 20-year-old dachshund-terrier mix from England, may be the heir apparent to the title of World’s Oldest Dog. But chances are that if Guinness World Record investigators confirm that Otto is indeed the crown wearer, he won’t sit in his throne for long. This is one active pup, for someone so ancient. He may [...]

Man gives puppy vodka, could go to prison

A story in the Cedar Rapids Gazette today tells of an Iowa City man who allegedly poured vodka into the bowl of a puppy he was babysitting for 30 minutes and encouraged him to drink. And it seems the puppy, Pip, liked the idea and lapped it right up. Perhaps it was from a lovely [...]

Slide show: Pug problems

Zulu, our staff neurotic who happens to be a pug, asked me not to include this slide show from The Onion, but I think it’s too good to censor for his sensitivities. The slide show focuses on pugs and all their little physical and mental issues.  It goes hand-in-paw with an Onion article about a [...]

Slide show: Humiliation reigns at masquerade party on Times Square

Once again, it’s time for that annual tradition of humiliating your dogs by dressing them up in outlandish costumes and parading them around like hapless  toddlers. Howl-o-mean is what we call it in the office. Last year my people dressed me as a butterfly. A pink butterfly. I will not include the five dozen photos [...]

Is this a Mac or a Milk-Bone?

A funny little item in the OSXDaily blog shows what can happen to a MacBook or iBook or probably really any laptop if a dog with no self control gets hold of one. In the tragedy to the left, it looks like a dog had himself whopper of a big Mac attack. You can see [...]

Steve Martin wants you to make a dog music video!

Steve Martin wrote a catchy little song for his dog, Wally, and he thinks it needs a music video. The thing is he says he’s just a bit busy to make one himself, and doesn’t really know how anyway, so he’s looking for your help. (It may just be a ploy to get a lot [...]
