Can you believe this love affair began like this??!!

So much apprehension on the part of human and dog - So close~ Yet so far away~:

Extended arm and cupped, immobile hand - Stay away...Stay far, far away:

Furrowed brow and joyless expression - This could maybe one day become fun:

Stiff body language and robotic dog playing - Its jaw looks pretty strong:

Militant expression and the return of the exented arm - Here, play with this stuffed dog. You'll have more fun with it. Believe you and me.

But remember! This is the current state of their relationship so the moral of the story is that even seemingly hopeless relationships can blossom into undying love:

Thanks to Peter Green for staying up on human-dog transportation!!

Subject: Three Shibas that are going to be put down at a shelter in
Central Florida

I was asked by Polk County Animals Services in Winter Haven FL to make
a last ditch attempt to get these three rescued. There used to be a
rescue here...Central Florida Shiba Rescue, but the woman died. These
three were all impounded together and range from 5-8 yrs old. They are
fully vetted and heartworm negative and need to get out of there
ASAP!!!

Please contact me with ANYONE that might be able to help.

I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult.

If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise.

My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can. That's almost $21.00 in dog money.

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them.

German "animal academy" has specialised in teaching cats and dogs how to play the piano and chickens how to perform on a xylophone.

Check out the little prodigy, bangin' out the notes!!

Thanks to Bram Rosenfeld for sharing, although you know, you should never share a lady's weight...

Kylie Minogue's boyfriend has reportedly bought her a puppy to cheer her up while she battles breast cancer. Heartthrob French actor Olivier Martinez hopes the cuddly pooch will help aid the 37-year-old pop star's recovery.

A source revealed: "Olivier heard that having a dog is therapeutic, so he couldn't think of a better gift."

Hey Source! Way to get the hard to find info! Good investigating!!

And she's alright looking too.

You bet! We're all becoming fatties!

Be careful, pets really can be killed by kindness...put the pooch on the treadmill now...

Dangerous dogs will have their status recorded on microchip implants and be tracked:
