(Fri, 03 Feb 2012)

Hot Blog: Food on My Dog (Fri, 03 Feb 2012)
It may not look like Tiger is enjoying wearing food on her head, but her owner says she likes it, in part because she always gets a treat after; if not the food that’s on her head (if it’s something like Cracker Jacks or a doughnut, she’s out of luck), then a dog biscuit for [...]

Cesar Millan: The Skillet Whisperer (Thu, 02 Feb 2012)
Cesar Millan may be controversial in his dog-training techniques, with some people swearing by his methods and others swearing at them. But I think we can all agree that he can work wonders with these ill-behaved skillets from Denny’s. It’s good to see the Dog Whisperer spoofing himself; there have been many spoofs of him, [...]

Pit Bulls Soon May No Longer Be Classified as “Vicious” in Ohio (Thu, 02 Feb 2012)
This week, the Ohio State Senate voted overwhelmingly to rescind the state’s automatic label of “vicious” for all pit bulls.

Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Our Style Picks for Getting That Pup In the Tub (Thu, 02 Feb 2012)
Most of us dread doggy bathtime even more than our four-legged friends do. I’m fortunate enough to have a little dog who is fairly easy to manage, but the whole process still feels like a battle! While there isn’t much most of us can do to turn our dogs into bathtime fans, having the right [...]

Let’s Talk: What Would Your Dog Do if You Needed a Helping Paw in a Medical Emergency? (Wed, 01 Feb 2012)
There’s a heartening story in the news today of a little dog who helped save his owner’s life last week when she took a terrible fall on her tile floor. As she fell, she heard a big crack and felt the roar of pain. Her femur had broken badly and she could not move. It [...]

It’s Heads Down in London’s “Poo Alley” (Wed, 01 Feb 2012)
There’s this one little alleyway in suburban London that hundreds of schoolchildren take on their way to and from school. It’s convenient, safe, and makes for a quick trip. It has only one problem, but it’s a real stinker: It’s perpetually poo-covered. The pitter-patter of little feet is dampened by the piles of dog poo [...]

Oscar-Nominated Movies Have Gone to the Dogs (Wed, 01 Feb 2012)
The clever staff at NextMovie realized that it’s a dog’s world, and have recast the nine Academy Awards Best Picture nominees with dogs as the stars. (As far as I’m concerned, The Artist/The Barkist already stars a dog, thanks to Uggie; and Hugo‘s Blackie is right up there, too.) Which is your favorite poster, Dogsters? [...]
