Old folks love a wedding. And I suppose that once you reach a certain age it doesn’t really matter who’s getting married just so long as you’re invited.
All of which explains this frankly bizarre spectacle at The Riverside Care Center in McKeesport last week.
As I’ve already explained, there’s not much point in dogs getting married. [...]

My, is it almost June 26 again already? Friday is of course Take Your Dog To Work Day, or as it’s more commonly known by employers: “National Dip In Productivity Day.” It is estimated that at least 6 million man hours are lost every year as Chocolate Labs chase Miniature Dachshunds around filing cabinets, Wheaten [...]

As reported by the Associated Press yesterday, the U.N. has called an emergency meeting after a dog was spotted sitting happily on a roof in North Dakota, in what must surely have been one of the slowest days for news in world history.
People across the world stopped what they were doing in stunned amazement as [...]

I haven’t been this excited since I saw a cloud in the shape of Lassie.
Obviously bored of appearing on towels, mirrors, shrouds, pancakes, tortilla chips, baby’s ultrasound scans, bathroom ceilings and piles of grass cuttings all over the world, the image of Jesus has decided to try something new, by appearing on Roger Bowman’s dog [...]

Providence took another blow today with the release of the SNIF tag - an unfathomably pointless $300 collar-mounted doohickey which allows dog owners with absolutely nothing else to do the opportunity to go online and blow 5 disinterested minutes checking such things as their pooch’s daily activity level and the names of the owners of [...]

I’m referring to the one on the right. Perkins, a randy Jack Russell terrier from Shrewsbury, England, is driving his owners crazy with his incessant howling — so they posted his picture in the local lonely hearts column in the vein hope of finding a dog owner crazy enough to be searching the local lonely [...]

Watson being, of course, one half of the famed egg-headed duo James Watson and Francis Crick - the chirpy English geezers who unlocked the secrets of life through their discovery of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or “DNA” for those with tight schedules.
They would have literally exploded with pride had they known, all those years [...]

It’s official - your human food is low grade junk and is not fit to pass through the superior gut of a dog. We did not evolve to eat the bacon, pasta, bagels, chocolate or Ritz Cheese Crackers that humans inexplicably cram into their funnels on a daily basis.
See, you humans are like train furnaces. [...]

The O’Sullivan puppies of Lanford, IL came under fire again Tuesday as neighbor Ralph Peterson asked them once more to mind their own damn business.
The meddlesome litter, who are rarely seen attending to their own affairs, peered over Peterson’s fence for the last damn time as he attended to various chores in his yard - [...]

There sure are a lot of robots taking the form of dogs these days. Perhaps it’s because robots represent an innate desire in humans to remake themselves in their ideal form, and that ideal form happens to be canine shaped.
Or maybe it’s just because balancing on four legs requires fewer equations than balancing on two. [...]
