Dachshund Wins Big Playing Online Poker

Move over, C.M. Coolidge. This dog playing poker has gone digital, and managed to rake in a whopping $65,000 in three months.

Zoey, a dachshund from Welcome, NC, plays on UltimatePoker.com for about seven hours a day, whittling real money away from novice players – most of whom have no idea she’s a dog.

“A lot of inexperienced players try to make big moves early on to cash out as soon as possible,” says poker expert and coach Willy Davis. “Not Zoey. She plays a slow game, bleeds ‘em dry. Eventually, that pays off big.”

Fashion Forward Pooch Mixes Patterns with Aplomb

Dexter, a fashionable puppy from Milan, Italy, has a knack for putting together a killer ensemble.  

“Most people couldn’t pull off mixing checks with stripes,” said fashion photographer Anibel Rodrigues. “But Dexter has a way with patterns.  He can somehow take polka dots and make them work with plaid or match stripes with houndstooth.  It’s a gift.”
