Pup Launches Neighborhood Recycling Program
Pup Launches Neighborhood Recycling Program
A 5-month-old puppy named Otto was disappointed to learn that his area of Phoenix, AZ didn’t recycle plastic.
“They take metal and paper, but no plastic bottles,” says Johnathan Mitchell, Otto’s neighbor. “It’s 2013 for crying out loud, I don’t know what’s taken them so long.”
Rather than wait for the city government to act, Otto has taken the initiative and launched a localized plastic recycling program.
“He goes door to door collecting bottles,” says Mitchell. “He drives them to the closest processing center, which is on the other side of town. It’s a bit of a haul, but until we get more trucks or facilities in our neck of the woods, there will be a lot of plastic heading to the landfill. Otto’s on a mission to change that.”

Dog Sues Doctor for Botched Plastic Surgery
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
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.”
