Pugs Win Destination Wedding in Online Sweepstakes

Maddie and Joel were just your average engaged pugs, planning a modest wedding for family and friends. That is until, on a whim, Maddie put her name in for a random drawing with an online travel agency.

“The prize was an all-expenses paid destination wedding for a couple and 20 guests,” says Jenny Talbot, a friend of the pugs. “The chances of them winning it were just ridiculously small.”

Fast forward six months to find the couple barking “I do” on a beach in Tahiti, surrounded by loved ones.

“It was absolutely amazing,” says Larry Siegel, a guest. “Best wedding I’ve ever been too – and a free plane ticket to boot!”

Puppy’s Tagging Called ‘Amateur’ by Street Art Insiders

A local puppy’s sidewalk art was criticized today by an anonymous group of street artists who said his tagging is “amateur.”

“It’s so-called artists like this dog who give the rest of us a bad rap,” said one member of the group.  "People just assume all street art is vandalism because some schmuck paints his name all over the sidewalk.  It’s damaging.“

The group said it exists to promote the virtues of public art and does not condone tagging.
