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 [...]

This is Snuppy, the world’s first cloned dog - soon available at Wal-Mart, Target and participating branches of Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Snuppy was “cloned from adult cells by somatic nuclear cell transfer.” I have no idea what that means, but I should imagine the other dog has to stay very, very still while they’re doing [...]

This is what it’s come to. Twenty years ago, the hoop in this picture would have been on fire. The nearest humans would have been 50ft away in the stands cheering in stunned amazement upon witnessing yet another spectacular act of unfathomable canine courageousness.

OK, so this really bothers me. It seems like these days some dogs will do anything to get their photo on the internet, including wearing glasses (yes, very cute) and doing human things like sitting under umbrellas. Who is this dog trying to kid?
