The title of Best in Show at this year’s Westminster Dog Show went to a Scottish deerhound known as Hickory. Hickory’s a five-year-old “bitch” (seriously, that how the Westminster folks deal with gender), and is the first deerhound to ever take home the title. A Vegas betting expert put Hickory’s odds of winning at only 60-to-1, making her a literal underdog! More »

The guy who was accused of having sex with his Great Dane Christie Brinkley was just cleared of bestiality charges. Right, because it’s totally not weird to name your dog after a supermodel. (Miami Herald)

This is a WTF in the truest sense of the term: A guy dressed up in a giant pink dog costume (with sunglasses, natch) expressing his tepid feelings about Richard Gere via an enormous flashcard. Are we supposed to honk if we agree? Too enthusiastic? How about shrug half-heartedly if we agree. More »
We remember the moment we first learned that dogs can ride horses. The whole world changed for us that day. Whole new levels of cuteness opened up and our concept of the adorable was forever altered. Animals riding other animals, come on! So here it is, a gallery of puppies on ponies. May your universe change for the better too. More »
Channing Tatum gave his pup an early Xmas present by taking the lil guy to the dog park on Thursday. (Finally, a non-rainy day!) You know that thing about how people match their pets? That definitely seems to be true of Channing and his dog Lulu. They even have the exact same expression here. We assume Lulu was Channing’s Dear John stand-in. More »
Good morning! It’s bitterly cold here in New York, and we’d been wondering what we were going to do while trapped inside all day. But now we know! We’re going to watch this amazing video over and over, and then we’re going to work on our pitch for an ABC show called Dancing with the Dogs. More »
If You Feel Like Crying the Rest of the Day – Then read the story of Spot, the Texas dog that waits by the same stretch of road every day, waiting to be picked up by his owner. Who died. It’s like Seymour from Futurama! I have to go cry now… (Lemondrop)
It’s been so rainy in New York the last few days — we feel like we’re constantly entering buildings looking like we’ve just been tossed into a pool. And we’re told this weather’s going to last for a while. Grr! Because it’s much more adorable than posting photos of ourselves standing under broken umbrellas, here are some super cute animals who are soaking wet More »
Hey man’s best friend: sometime you can be a real jerk, you know that? You just don’t know when to stop, do you? People could have gotten hurt! I mean really buddy, what were you thinking?

LuLu’s a Chinese dog who walks around on two feet and carries a teddy bear-shaped purse wherever she goes. She belongs to Zhou Guanshun, a retired school teacher who taught the pooch to walk upright when she was four months old. The most convenient part is that LuLu can lug around her own waste bags. Evolution! More »
We woke up on the wrong side of the bed today — all groggy and ineffectually grumpy — and decided we needed to track down a new spirit animal to get us through the day. And what better than a be-mohawked dog? They’re small and cuddly, but still rock a totally bad attitude. Mohawked dog says “Grrrrrrrowl!” More »
What kind of a jerk tiger would abandon her insanely adorable little cubs? In a move straight out of Disney’s playbook, the Chinese wildlife preserve that now houses the tigers brought in a dog to help nurse the little guys into adulthood. And somehow it worked! We just hope this inter-species family stays close after the tigers morph into full-sized predators. More »
Sometimes the title of these videos speak for themselves. Because what else is going on here except the exploitation of small, defenseless dogs for our amusement? Yes, we can talk about it at great lengths, but that really takes all the fun out of it, yeah? So lets just sit on a “no comment” with this one folks, because OMG TAIWANESE DOG SHOW! More »

I mean, Oprah even has a broken leg — and you know how we feel about animals in casts! More »
Finally, a video to answer the age-old question “Can something be both disturbingly Kafkaesque and completely adorable at the same time?” This yellow lab with people limbs seems to have truly mastered the art of charmingly creeping us the hell out. More »
Panda…dog…Pandadog? - Right on the heels of the shark Shrek, here’s a dog painted to look like a panda. Sure! Why not! (via Buzzfeed)
Attention animal videos: You’ve had a good run, but you can retire now. This merengue-ing Golden Retriever has officially won the genre — in a festive skirt to boot. She’s more skilled that most reality show dancers and a whole lot cuter. Now, how can we get her on Ellen DeGeneres? More »
“Kim Kardashian Tweets Pictures Of Her Cleavage” reads Huffington Post’s salacious headline, before posting this “scandalous” shot of Kim with her dog. We’re just assuming his name is Cleavage, because otherwise we’re not sure what the story is here. More »
