Capybara Playing With Puppies May Be the Cutest Thing You'll See Today

Emerald Catron — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 08:19:30 +0000

Okay, maybe we shouldn't say "playing with puppies." Maybe we should say "tolerating being pestered by puppies." Regardless ... SQUEEEE!! It's no secret that we love capybaras (proof), and Cheesecake likes to foster puppies at the animal rescue where she lives. Capybara + Puppies = day made.

11 Guilty Dogs Caught in the Act

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:43:08 +0000

We have some beef with dogs. How is it that they can get into loads of trouble, and we still can't get mad at them due ridiculous amounts of cuteness? It's sort of annoying, especially because most times pups know they're getting into shenanigans, but they do mischievous stuff anyway. Even then we still can't bear to punish the little buggers.

Dog Just Can't Handle the Snow

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:17:29 +0000

Looks like Scooter bit off more than she could chew when deciding to go adventuring through the snow. But can you blame her? Who doesn’t yen for playtime when flakes start a-falling? In this recent post via YouTube, an owner records their dog as they go running, climbing and digging in the backyard snow after [...]

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 17:23:40 +0000

Dogs have it good these days. Like, really good. They're gaining all sorts of attention just for being fashionable or looking like a human. How do they do it? We haven't the slightest clue. All we know is these days they're gaining more casual fame by being photographed in their owner's backpacks like it's no biggie (and it's ridiculously cute).

10 Cute Dogs Saying 'I Love You'

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 05:29:05 +0000

There are few things we love more than dogs. Think about it-- they look awfully cute in tutus, sport hoodies like champs and even pull off the whole eyebrow look with ease. Our love for dogs is so strong, in fa

12 Dogs Who Are Ready for the Super Bowl

Cameron Simcik — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 12:06:21 +0000

One of the best parts about the Super Bowl is that everyone becomes football fans when it rolls around. It doesn't matter where you're from, whether or not you know what's going on or if you're just watching the game for the commercials (guilty)-- it's just a fun ol' time!

Dying Dog Gets an Amazing Final Treat

Kyle Dowling — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 17:06:24 +0000

Get ready for some tears, folks! It's never easy when an owner hears the horrid news of having to put their pet down. Coming to grips with the fact that a member of the family is suffering is difficult. But in this case, the owner of Lennox — a dog dying of severe cancer who also suffers from arthritis — decided not to focus on the negative. Instead, he chose to make Lennox's last meal an epic one.

See the Oscar Nominated Movies With Adorable Dog Actors

Christine Gritmon — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:39:54 +0000

The Oscars just won’t be the same this year without Uggie the Dog in attendance, but fear not! We refuse to live in a world where there isn't at least one dog at the Oscars, and we also refuse to do anything in moderation. Naturally we must present these posters for seven Oscar-nominated films if they’d featured all-canine casts. Take that, reality. We wonder which one will *fetch* the most awards this year (hahahahaha sorry).

10 Dogs Disguised as Lions

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 19:00:33 +0000

Lions aren't usually one of those animals we go "aww!" over. They're actually sort of scary — that is, unless they come in dog form. No, seriously! Remember when we introduced you to that poor lion pup who got the cops called on him? Well, it turns out there's a whole bunch of fellow lion fakers of the canine variety out there, and they couldn't get any cuter.

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 20:15:25 +0000

Being a dog in today's society must be really confusing. They're probably thinking, "how have I suddenly sprouted human eyebrows?" or "why the heck am I driving Power Wheels?" The answer is simple -- because confused dogs are hilarious. That's why we love it when they catch a glimpse of themselves in the mirror.

It's Dog Vs. Orange In an Epic Battle

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 12:02:55 +0000

In the battle of dog versus orange, we might have to declare that this one goes to the latter.What began as mere curiosity toward the sliced citrus transformed into an epic quest for the title of king and conqueror. You can tell from the many leaps, sniffs and scratches this persistent pup will never quit. [...]

Just a Dog Driving a Power Wheels, NBD

Emerald Catron — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 05:45:09 +0000

Holy cow, it's a dog that can drive! Sort of. Granted, we've seen dogs driving actual cars before, but this one is an enormous dog in a tiny Power Wheels. Plus he has no idea how to steer. The technical skill may not be as impressive as those w

Cheer Up Instantly With 11 Happy Dogs

Cameron Simcik — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 09:51:07 +0000

The holidays might be over, but there are still tons of reasons to be happy. For starters, dogs with eyebrows are now a thing, and we couldn't be more stoked. Plus, there's really nothing fun about sporting a scowl, so we like to keep things positive and fun.
