Here's Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl (which mostly sucked this year, thanks to a Disney tie-in and no beagles) compressed to about a minute. No, there aren't any halftime show highlights featuring kittens. The real Super Bowl halftime will feature plenty of that. [Video from Animal Planet. Music is this.] More »

At a Copa Sudamericana (think the Europa League for CONMEBOL), a round of 16 match was interrupted by—OH MAN LOOKIT THAT DOG GO! With Santa Fe up 4-0 on Botafogo, play drew to a halt when—HAHA HE IS SO HAPPY TO RUN IN THE GRASS! Players and officials tried their best to grab him, but—OMG HE IS IN DOGGY HEAVEN THAT LITTLE SCAMP! It took nearly five minutes for workers to corral the—WHO'S A GOOD PUPPY? WHO'S A GOOD PUPPY? YES YOU ARE! Colombian side Sante Fe would go on to win the second leg and advance to—[HEAD EXPLODES] More »

Flushing, as a neighborhood, has a decidedly unappealing name. But Citi Field isn't actually located in Flushing. Surrounded by a bay, two freeways and a park, the Mets share their parcel of land with the little-known, less-loved neighborhood of Willets Point. With a permanent population of one, Willets Point is the only part of New York City without a sewer system. When it rains hard, or the septic tanks fail, the unpaved dirt roads run with effluvia of one kind or another. The businesses are invariably junkyards or chop shops, and they come with the customary guard dogs. And sometimes, those guard dogs like to take a walk. More »

Here's Dozer the Goldendoodle crossing the finish line of the Maryland Half Marathon last week. Already he's become something of a local legend, with media interviewing his owner and volunteers pledging thousands of dollars in donations on his official runner page. But something's not right. Look at that video again. Dozer barely appears tired, trotting along with a big smile on his face. Is that the face of someone that just ran 13.1 miles? More »

Earlier today, we brought you wretched flashbacks from last night, when Jim Nantz, who is usually sharpei if mastiff, deployed the oldest dog-related puns in the bark. It was an announcing boner—the shih tzu see too often on TV. The line stank like poodle the moment we heard it. More »

No longer content to continue reading about brave police dogs who died because they weren't wearing vests, Tony Stewart has come to the rescue. The vests cost $695 each. If you didn't know that police dogs wore bulletproof vests then you roll with Chris Samuels and Clinton Portis and hate animals. Stewart's gift will be spread among dogs in five different states and will go a long way towards prospectively repairing his image when he gets in his next pit row altercation. More »

How often do we get the opportunity to mention Patricia Hearst, Jimmy Carter and the Westminster Kennel Club dog show in the same post? Very rarely. It all happened on Monday, as Hearst (or Tania to her friends) and her pooch Diva, the French bulldog, took one of the trophies at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show at Madison Square Garden. It was "Best Of Opposite Sex," whatever that means. And you know, there's nothing like clicking on a story about a dog show and getting paragraphs like this: More »
