dogs

By now you've probably seen at least one video of a soldier or Marine returning home and seeing his dog for the first time. It's one of the things the Internet does that really, genuinely tugs at your heartstrings.

The mad scientists over at Boston Dynamics have created a four-legged dog-like robot they call BigDog robot.

A dog’s bark may be worse than its bite, but the same can’t be said for its aim.

Sit. Shake hands. Roll over. Express your deepest emotions about me in a concisely worded phrase.

We have no idea why, but animals are like, super talented when it comes to photography. Remember how they're master photobombers? That's just the beginning. Even though their talent is slightly greater than that of us humans, there are zero complaints on our end, because the result is always entertaining, adorable, strangely hilarious or all of the above.

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.

Man’s best friend is still man’s best, even after a decade apart.

Banana Joe is a painfully cute black affenpinscher, a Dutch breed known for perfectly engineered fluffiness. He's been compared to an Ewok, a teddy bear and is being called a "monkey dog." At five-years-old, Joe is a veteran of shows like this, and his win at the Westminster Dog Show is his 86th (!) time achieving a Best in Show title.

The Westminster Dog show, which is a lot like the Super Bowl for dog owners and possibly their pets too, already has its list of who could win the coveted title of "Best in Show."

These days, it seems like dogs are getting more and more into the dressing like a human game. That or we're just getting more obsessed with clothing our canines in mini versions of stuff we wear. (The latter is true.) Either way, there are zero complaints on our end, because the results are just so stinkin' cute.

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?

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).
