Jake LeNoir (pictured), a 28-month old rat terrier from Florida, is furious with his owner tonight after the spoilsporting human broke up a particularly enjoyable fight between him and a shark.

Attaboy! As reported in today’s LA Times, Ruby the bulldog (or is it Bean?) took a grand total of “about two seconds” to figure out that there’s a third dimension - up.
