So some Nebraska cops investigate a domestic violence call, in which a man accuses his girlfriend of throwing a cell phone at his face. The cops arrive and the girlfriend is holding a small dog. 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 dogs already dislike Wii Fit. Why? Because instead of our people taking us for big long walks, they are jumping up and down in front of their TVs, huffing and puffing and getting fit without having to set foot outside to get some exercise with us. That means they are getting trim and happy [...]
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 [...]
Here’s one for the books. To your left is a dog who went through a terrible trauma, but never gave up hope of seeing her people. Her name is Ella. Ella, meet a lucky reader. Lucky reader, meet Ella.
Ella is a Rottweiler who surely has a touch of Good Dog, Carl in her. According to [...]

– John B. Bogart, New York Sun editor of long, long ago
I was thrilled when I read the above quote. I had been wanting to write about something I read in [...]
We are hankering to give you another video today. That’s two days in a row for videos. It must be the influence of Jasper, our illiterate staff member. He is beside himself. “Finally, something I can sink my teeth into,” he gleefully exclaimed this morning when he saw we were fixing to show another video [...]
Although we rarely get our tails to church, we thought this video was beautiful for a Sunday morning. Whether you’re religious or not, you can’t help but identify with the video — especially if you’re a human. (Dogs tend to blush and say things like “aw, shucks,” when we watch it.)
In case you’re wondering where [...]
See that panting bit of fluff on the left? His name is Gizmo. And he has a bounty on his head. (Actually, does he even have a head? Looks to us like he’s just one piece.) If he’s ever seen in Aspen, Colo., again, it’s curtains for the 13-year-old canine.
You see, Gizmo has been in [...]
