U.S. Military Testing Hover Dogs
According to a special report in The Atlantic, a DARPA-funded research project is currently testing hover dogs as a potential means of transportation over rocky terrain. The research takes advantage of what is called the Zero-G Growl Distortion Field, which allows dogs to hover after being trained to bark at their own anatomical resonance.
“Once a dog achieves resonance match, its fur will oscillate at such a high speed that the air around the dog’s body will bend – then BINGO, hover dog,” researcher Hans Applethorpe explained to The Atlantic.
If the project makes it out of the lab, dogs will likely be used for fetching things in the field.

SURVEY: Dogs Also Clueless About LinkedIn
A new survey out from Forrester Research finds that much like humans, dogs have no idea what to do with their LinkedIn profiles.
“They might update it when they’re looking to change jobs, but otherwise, there’s not a lot going on there,” says Mike Boston, author of the report that measures canine social media use. The survey finds that dogs are much more likely to make meaningful professional connections on Facebook.

Puppy Charged With Two Counts of Bed Jumping
A Boston Terrier named Ike has been arrested after he was found in the bed, according to authorities in Sewanee, TN.
“He knows he’s not allowed in the bed,” says Jessica Wohl, a source close to the situation. “I don’t even allow jeans in my bed.”
Ike has been charged with two counts of aggravated bed jumping, but legal analysts say a judge will likely dismiss the case. “Who could resist this little face?” Wohl asks, rhetorically.
