Critics Pan Dog’s Performance Art

Critics Pan Dog’s Performance Art

Bash, a French Bulldog from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, spent four hours in the park standing completely still yesterday as part of a piece of performance art. But critics weren’t impressed. 

A review in the online edition of local alt-weekly newspaper Voir called the performance “pedestrian” and “lacking soul.”

“It was supposed to be a viewport into the canine condition,” said Selena Pelletier, an artist an sometimes collaborator with the dog. “He rushed some of the planning, though, and yeah, it was a little flat. He knows it.”

Puppy Ready for World Cup

Puppy Ready for World Cup

Shogun, a bulldog pup from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is extremely excited for the World Cup. While there are serious questions about whether Rio will be prepared for the 3.5 million soccer fans who will descend on the city next month, Shogun, at least, is ready. 

“That dog was born ready,” said close friend Thaís Melo. “He loves football and this will be the proudest moment of his life.”

Melo says the dog has been playing soccer ever since he was a puppy and just recently made the under 14 national team (he’s two in human years). His team is being invited onto the pitch for pre-game ceremony before a first round game next month.

“He’s so excited, I think he might pee a little,” said Melo. “But I mean, he’s a dog, so that’s normal.”

Puppy Wins Award for Salesperson of the Month

Puppy Wins Award for Salesperson of the Month

Baxter, who works in the New York office of media company Gannett, was toiling away in middle management until a breakthrough last year. Now the dog leads the entire company with over $10 million in advertising booked and has just won his fifth consecutive salesperson of the month award.

What caused his remarkable rise? Coworkers attribute Baxter’s success to the company’s use of video conferencing.

“Once we installed a new video conferencing system in the sales office, Baxter’s numbers took off,” said Elise Montgomery, who works in the Gannett office alongside the pup. “No one can say no to that face.”

Baxter has had the most success with sports and lifestyle accounts, having closed major deals with Reebok, Under Armour and Bass Pro Shops.

“You’d think he’d be in charge of all our pet-related inventory,” said Montgomery. “But those people are immune to Baxter’s charms. I guess for them, another cute puppy is just another cute puppy.”

Out of Work Dog Starting to ‘Get Weird’

Out of Work Dog Starting to ‘Get Weird’

Friends are starting to get concerned about Tawny, a Shiba Inu pup who has been out of work for seven months. Pups say the dog, who was laid off from her job as a dog food taster last year, has stopped looking for a job.

“She doesn’t even leave the house anymore,” said Tony Malkoff, the dog’s across the hall neighbor. “She gets her food from FreshDirect, everything else from Amazon. Most of the day I think she just sits in her apartment watching Netflix.”

But it’s not the reclusive behavior that has friends worried, it’s what Tawny is doing behind closed doors.

“Last night she invited my wife and I over for dinner,” said Malkoff, “and when we arrived, she wanted us to participate in a scene-by-scene reenactment of 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That movie wasn’t even very good. Plus, she wanted me to be Stryker. That makes no sense.”
