Oh, hello, Tiny Corgi. I see you on your hero's journey. We all have a metaphorical tennis ball in our lives: one that enraptures and terrifies us, one that forces us to lock horns with ourselves but ultimately come out better. Stronger. Fuck that tennis ball up for US ALL, Tiny Corgi. Then—and only then—will you…
Maybe "joy" is overstating it, since having your front limbs mauled by sharks is a tough thing to get over. But thanks to the perseverance of a group of researchers at the University of Tokyo, loggerhead sea turtle Yu Chan can swim again after a shark attack. 27 prosthesis models later (see? Perseverance), she's back…
It's a battle for the ages: Kitten is a sheltered professional fighter who has been waiting for all of her eight weeks of life for this moment, but is emotionally chafing under the strict reigns of his gruff father/trainer. Meanwhile, Parrot is the scrappy underdog (underparrot?) who learned to fight on the rough…
Most dog owners will tell you their dog does not like it one bit when they cry, but did you know that it also bugs the sensitive little creatures when people they don't even know are crying? Yes, that is how freaking sweet and squeezably lovable dogs are. Dr. Deborah Custance and Jennifer Mayer, psychologists at the…
If you thought the nail art trend for humans was getting out of hand, what with duckfeet
We should never let a moment pass in which we're not scrutinizing something the President is doing, so thankfully the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has just stepped forward to publicly declare that they'd like Obama to watch what he eats when he's in front of the camera. Ulka Agarwal, chief…
On the one hand, your pet can't help but explode with excitement whenever they see you because you are the most wonderful person. On the other hand, they deeply resent you for not spending your every waking moment giving them belly rubs, handing them a constant stream of treats, and walking them all at the same…
People do a lot of stupid things to themselves, and it's not generally a problem. But when they start doing things to pets, it becomes awful very quickly. Witness this poor cat with a tattoo. Apparently pet tattooing has become a trend in Russia's Republic of Tatarstan, where the owner, a 24-year-old tattoo artist,…
Dogs are usually pretty good at tugging at our heartstrings, but when you set them to music and highlight all of the sweet and brave things they do to take care of us, all hell breaks loose in the human heart. This may look like a simple spot for Purina, but really it is some high-level plot by the dog kingdom to…
Dog rescue videos can be nerve-wracking for any animal lover, but I promise you watching this one will be worth it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is the tiniest puppy. Just be sure to secure your electronic device in advance because you might start jumping up and down when the little guy finally…
There seems to be no end to the things animal shelters can learn from online dating sites. First, it was that using a good picture

This tiny polar bear cub will not eventually grow up to be 770 to 1,500 pounds—half that, if it's female (because it's not real). The wonders of nature Tatiana Scalozub!
Did you know that seals-the-animals also "sing" little songs underwater? Scientists think it might improve their navigation and/or hunting. Besides having musical abilities, seals are also just damned cute, as this gallery of 101 shows. Hard to pick a favorite.
Ke$ha. No matter what you think of her, you can't argue that the "Tik Tok" singer has managed make herself a topic. And in doing so, she is severing the musical ties that bind. It's a pop-culture Civil War.

Forget Posh and Becks, meet the new darling of New York:
