Experts: Do Not Let a Dog Do Your Taxes

Yes, dog accountants are cheaper, but according to tax experts, they also make more mistakes.  Those are the results of a new study from the American Institute of CPAs, which compared anonymized, audited tax returns from over 100 canine accountants with an equal number from H&R Block. The data showed that dog accountants made three times more mistakes than their human counterparts and left an average $587 in potential refunds on the table.

So as April 15 nears, remember: puppy CPAs may be adorable, but they also might not be the best choice to file your tax return this year.

Self-Conscious Cat Tries to Look Taller

Peaches should have no reason to feel inadequate. His mane is luxurious, his roar fierce.

But the kitty can’t help but be self-conscious about his height. At less than 1-foot tall, he’s worried the ladies will think less of him. That’s why he walks upright on two legs whenever possible, effectively tripling his stature, and not looking awkward at all.
