Here's a 3 minute "dogumentary" promoting "American Beagle Outfitters," a division of American Eagle Outfitters that will ostensibly focus on dog fashions. It's pretty clear that this is supposed to be AE's attempt at an April Fools Day joke but oh my stars do I ever wish this were real. » 3/24/14 6:45pm 3/24/14 6:45pm

Rare is the person who enjoys housecleaning duties, but this corgi really despises everyday cleaning products. Which is how this attempt at a super-cute video ended with an explosion and a woman's kitchen in flames. Ta-da! » 3/18/14 10:00am 3/18/14 10:00am

A mixed-breed dog named Emma is competing at the prestigious Westminster dog show today after being rescued from a kill shelter in South Carolina just hours before she was scheduled to be put down and OH MY GOD LOOK AT HER FACE AM I CRYING YES I AM CRYING. » 2/11/14 3:40pm 2/11/14 3:40pm

Theoretically, squirrels are cute and it'd be delightful to have a trained squirrel bustling around one's home, piling up nuts and candybars in a cool, dry little corner. Then again, squirrels seem like busybodies, don't they? They're always bustling and storing, finding new places to stuff what they think is treasure … » 2/09/14 1:00pm 2/09/14 1:00pm

The Westminster Dog Show, a 138-year-old institution dedicated to preserving the once functional deformities produced by humanity's ancient breeding experiments with gray wolves, broke tradition last night and let, for the first time in a century, mixed breed dogs compete next to their purebred counterparts. The… » 2/09/14 12:30pm 2/09/14 12:30pm

There will have been 10 — TEN — puppy bowls on Animal Planet after this year's Puppy Bowl X, a spectacle of unabashed puppy objectification, is in the books. Last year's Puppy Bowl attracted 12.4 million viewers, and proved itself to be a reliable alternative televised event for people who don't want to watch the Super … » 2/02/14 3:00pm 2/02/14 3:00pm

Here's a Golden Retriever puppy being driven completely mad with excitement over TV footage of the 2014 Australian Open. If you're wondering if watching a dog watch something for two minutes will get boring, the answer is a resounding NO. » 1/31/14 7:10pm 1/31/14 7:10pm

Last night, in honor of this Sunday's Big Game (Puppy Bowl, duh), Conan introduced his audience to this year's cast of Puppy Conan, an all-puppy version of his late night show. Puppy Conan's guests included Puppy Pharrell, Puppy Justin Bieber and crew (complete with puppy-sized luxury rental car), and Puppy Toronto… » 1/31/14 2:20pm 1/31/14 2:20pm

Marijuana poisoning in pets is on the rise, according to the Animal Poison Control Center, which reports that calls regarding pot pet poisonings have increased 30 percent since 2009. » 1/21/14 11:20am 1/21/14 11:20am

People dress their pets up. It's weird and sort of barbaric if you think about it for too long, but it's just a thing people do because people are just overdeveloped primates, so vain about their thumbs and brains that they can't help making fun of other creatures for their not knowing how to use tools well enough to… » 1/05/14 6:00pm 1/05/14 6:00pm

If Isaac Newton had kittens (and I'm not saying he did, because, for all I know, Isaac Newton was an iguana person), you can bet they wouldn't have been interested in physics or calculus. They would have wanted to move to Italy and become painters or layabouts in spite of Catdaddy Isaac Newton's strenuous efforts to… » 12/28/13 5:00pm 12/28/13 5:00pm

Recently, internet cat sensation Lil Bub made his comedy debut on the hallowed stage of Chicago's Second City, a legendary comedy theater that has served as proving ground to countless future giants of comedy.

Some cats are bush dwellers. Other cats are tree dwellers. This cat wants to be a tree dweller, but is clearly a poseur whose insatiable self-consciousness has ruined Christmas. Way to go, cat. Every time a Christmas tree gets knocked over, one of Santa's elves shoots itself. » 12/15/13 5:30pm 12/15/13 5:30pm

The obsequious dog — humankind's most faithful interspecies ally and least likely of all the intelligent mammals to rise up and challenge our hegemony. We assume that our dogs are really into pleasing us, but we may have underestimated just how into it they are. According to a new study about dog behavior, dogs aren't… » 12/15/13 2:30pm 12/15/13 2:30pm

You'd pretty much have to be a stone-hearted rock person for all the puppy howling in this video not to affect you. Maybe you're not "into dogs" the way your cousin Mallory Archer is into dogs, what with all the naked spooning portraits, but even a cat person can appreciate the first warbling notes of an tiny predator… » 12/08/13 3:00pm 12/08/13 3:00pm

Japanese researchers have tested whether or not cats recognize their owners' voices. The good news: they can. The bad news: they're probably going to ignore it. » 12/01/13 8:30pm 12/01/13 8:30pm
