A puppy named Ralph can hardly contain himself now that the hit NBC comedy Parks and Recreation is back on the air.
“He’s super psyched. Ralph is a huge Aziz Ansari fan,” his roommate Seth Cooper tells The Fluffington Post. “Chicky chicky parm parm – man, that guy is hilarious!”

Dog Surfing Tournament Kicks Off in Sunny SoCal
Dog Surfing Tournament Kicks Off in Sunny SoCal
Summer may be winding down, but it’s still a great time to catch some waves in Southern California. The 13th annual “Surf’s Up, Pup” tournament is underway in Solana Beach, where canine boaders from around the country compete for waves and glory.
“The first round kicked off this morning, and the competition is already stiff,” says Mike Fletcher, one of the judges this year. “Sparky hung ten on a sick concave, but Rex rode a tube all the way down the beach. It’s gonna be one hell of a year.”

New Evidence Suggests Puppies Evolved From Dinosaurs
New Evidence Suggests Puppies Evolved From Dinosaurs
Discovery Magazine has published new paleontology and genetic research that suggests modern day puppies share ancestry with dinosaurs.
The two-part study, conducted jointly by Oxford University and Yale, examines physiology across the fossil record, and notes that hip and joint bones in today’s dogs bear a striking resemblance to those of the Triceratops, a giant horned herbivore that roamed North America in the late Cretaceous Period.
Few scientists have linked dinosaurs with mammals, evolutionarily speaking, so it is expected that this research will endure some serious criticism.
