Hunting Dog Squadron Naps in Formation

The Barking Banshees, a hunting dog squad based out of Ossining, NY, is so dedicated to its craft that the group has learned to nap in perfect formation.  The English Setter puppies are currently training for a summer hunting show tour, on which they will be utilized as a recruiting tool for the National Dog Force, a government backed canine outfit that operates under the purview of the Department of Defense.

Dogs Make Excellent Road Trip Companions

According to a new report from the American Automobile Association, dogs are excellent travel companions.  The report notes that while dogs sometimes require extra stops for “walkies,” they’re also crackerjack license plate game players.  "Our research shows that it is usually the family dog that spots hard-to-find plates like Alaska and Puerto Rico first,“ said lead author Annamaria Dunseith.

Dunseith also told The Fluffington Post that 2 out of 3 children interviewed for the study indicated that they’d rather sit next to a dog than their little brother or sister on a long car trip.

Dog Is No Longer Allowed to Dress Himself

Though some canine psychologists say that young puppies should be allowed complete freedom of self expression, Gerard Polder isn’t buying it.

“I just can’t be seen in public with him looking like that,” says Polder.  "Not gonna happen.“

Polder is referring to Murray, an 18-month-old puppy and one of Polder’s closest friends.  Murray has begun dressing himself and by most accounts, looks completely ridiculous.

"Yeah, he looks like a wreck,” agrees dog fashion expert Xanadu Gugliuzza. “But puppies of that age need to be allowed to experiment and find their personal style.  Otherwise, he’ll just end up looking like every other dog who dresses out of the Abercrombie catalog.  No one wants that.”
