Dog Sues Publisher Over Likeness in Children’s Book

A 9-week-old Boston Terrier named Zoe has brought a lawsuit against Wonder Books, publisher of the 1951 children’s classic The Playful Little Dog, after discovering the author used her likeness without permission.

“She doesn’t have much of a case,” says legal expert Gary Owens, who is following the lawsuit. “The book was written 63 years before she was born. Any judge with a calculator will be able to figure that out.”

Still, attorneys for the puppy are prepping opening arguments for February 20th.

Golden Retriever Takes Spa Vacation

A bitter winter, a grueling work schedule and a heap of family drama – there’s only so much a dog can take.

When Ozzy, a local golden retriever, hit his breaking point, he packed a bag and headed out to Arizona for a short, but much-needed spa vacation.

“He’s not much of a swimmer, but he likes to dip his toes in the pool,” says Jeff Klimbach, who works the front desk at the DoubleTree Resort and Spa in Sedona, where Ozzy is staying. “He hits the gym every now and then, but mostly he’s just chilling by the pool.”
