A Minnesota lab’s joy ride came to an abrupt end today when the truck crashed into a tree and parked car. Police believe the dog shifted the truck-trailer into gear when his owner was inside a gas station. According to the news report, the crash didn’t get the dog down; he seemed very joyful afterwards (perhaps celebrating the beginning of his truck driving career?). Our advice? Don’t leave your dog alone at the wheel… unless he has passed has driver’s license test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRsE7yTNxlc

A man working at a dog shelter posed an interesting question today: “With Donald Trump having major victory in several states, I thought, if Donald Trump were a dog, what kind of dog would he be? For those thinking the camera will point to an aggressive mutt, you’re wrong. Trump is actually more of a Jack Russell terrier, according to the worker. The man leans down in front of a kennel with a yapping dog inside named Cookie. He starts comparing characters. “Cookie wants out and Cookie wants attention. Now if Cookie doesn’t get what she wants, Cookie barks, and…

After a long day of fetching at the park, nothing feels better than relaxing on the couch with some good ol’ TV. By the looks of it, Luka was interrupted mid-Netflix binge watching session — and he’s not happy about it. “Luka come,” his owner commands. The husky cries. “Luka come. Get down,” his owner says again. Luka howls, sounding like “noooooooooo!” “Luka are you watching TV? Get down.” Now Luka is really upset. He stands up on the couch and howls, telling his owner off. “Mom! Just let me finish this one…

Here are a few tips to make taking dog photos a little easier: Have Patience Remember that dogs aren’t human models and they certainly don’t understand that you need the perfect image for Facebook or Instagram. It often takes time to get your pooch in the right mood and to stay still enough to take an awesome photo. Pick a Suitable Background for your Dog The best background is often…

Fido is fast asleep in his bed, but all of the sudden he starts twitching and even moving his legs. It’s only natural to assume he’s dreaming about being in the dog park with his buds, running full power and being the first to fetch the stick. But what is he actually dreaming about? Do dogs even dream? There’s evidence that sleeping rats’ brains function in a way that suggests dreaming. So, it makes sense that more intelligent creatures with bigger brains, such as dogs, also dream. About 20 minutes into sleeping, a dog will enter a deeper sleep and…

Like us, Pomeranians also have their lazy days. “It’s time for you to get up. It’s 1 p.m,” the owner says. The Pomeranian whines (presumably asking for a few more minutes). “Get out of bed,” he persists. We’re not sure how it ends, but we bet the pooch won the argument and hit snooze just one more time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0eO2Dt32l0

Children aren’t the only ones enjoying playing in the winter weather! Fingal here has found a way to go sledding…without the sled. He enjoys himself so much that he climbs back up the hill for another shot at it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLxqhoOvQ8g

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvkxrsG3P7Y Tuesday, Lundy and Captain aren’t your average adorable pups — they have a vital mission to provide constant support to veterans with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). In honor of National Service Dog Month this September, A Head for the Future has released three videos to spotlight military veterans who have experienced TBI and made special connections with trained service dogs. “Tuesday is a form of therapy,” said Luis Carlos Montalván, an Army veteran who appears in one of the videos and who wrote the bestseller “Until Tuesday” about his two tours of duty in Iraq and his return home with multiple injuries, including TBI.…
