Dog Sues Doctor for Botched Plastic Surgery

Quinn the dog only wanted a little off the ears. Just a routine tuck to make them a bit more streamlined. Instead he got the exact opposite: ears blown up to cartoonish proportions.

That’s why Quinn filed a malpractice suit against the doctor who performed his procedure.

“It was a complete butcher job,” said Antonio Vega, who represents the dog and sent The Fluffington Post the above photo. “His ears are like that all the time. Just sticking out and goofy. Someone has to pay for this.”

The dog is seeking $500,000 for medical expenses, emotional distress and punitive damages.

Corgi Buys Homemade Hats on Etsy

A New Jersey corgi named Stanley has something of an addiction.

“He’s been known to order 25 hats online in one sitting,” says Raymond Marin, the dog’s roommate. His e-commerce platform of choice is Etsy, an online community where artists and craftspeople sell their handmade wares.

“He’s really into the crafty charm of homemade clothing,” says Marin. “He’s obsessed with it, actually. I’m talking about closets full of hats – most of them are made of felt or burlap. We’re talking lots of ribbons and glue guns, here.”

Cat Cyberbullied Over Awkward Selfie

When you ask friends what defines Cheeto, a 2-and-a-half-year-old cat from New Orleans, LA, you’ll get a lot of similar answers.

“He’s very into himself,” says Arnold Scudder. “It seems like whenever we talk, the conversation always veers back around to him.”

So it’s no surprise that Cheeto’s Facebook profile is littered with his own self-taken portraits. But one in particular caught the eye of classmates, and it soon made the rounds.

“He just had this silly look on his face, like he’s trying to impress us,” says Lillian Casarez, who saw a friend share the photo online. “A lot of other kids didn’t think it was cute, so they started leaving mean comments and making fun of him.”

“He was cyberbullied,” says Joseph Craig, the superintendent where Cheeto attends middle school. “We looked into it, and asked students who had shared the photo to remove it. Cheeto went home early. He was a little upset, but I think he learned a valuable lesson about the Internet.”
