Original Dog and Pony Show Uncovered in New England

The Boston Public Library has uncovered evidence of what many scholars believe to be the oldest “Dog and Pony Show” in North America.

This photograph, taken by Leslie Jones sometime between 1917 and 1934, offers proof that dogs and horses performed together as early as the turn of the 20th century.

“Their act was obviously quite polished when this photo was taken,” historian Mark Silver tells The Fluffington Post. “They were likely performing for years before Jones snapped the candid.”

Horse Caught Trying to Sneak Into R-Rated Movies

A two year-old colt named Samsonite was kicked out of the local cineplex on Friday evening after employees found him trying to sneak into an R-rated movie.  The horse had apparently bought a ticket to see PG-rated ParaNorman, but at the last moment tried to sneak into adult comedy Ted.

“I think he thought we wouldn’t notice since Ted has been here a few weeks,” said theater manager Melissa LaPalme.  "He was pretty embarrassed when we had to call his parents to pick him up.  I don’t think he’ll be trying a stunt like that again.“

Colt Grounded After Too Much Horseplay

A mother horse has grounded her colt after he refused to settle down late Tuesday afternoon. The Na’alehu, HI native has lost his phone and video game privileges, and can only leave the stable to attend school and run errands.

“I saw it coming a mile away,” says Jose Campanera, who witnessed the horseplay that led to the grounding. “His mom warned him at least three times.”

Horse Remains Suspicious Of Spider-Man Reboot

Chase, a horse from Na’alehu, HI, is skeptical by nature, according to friends. So when he got wind of the forthcoming 3D film The Amazing Spider-Man, you could understand his trepidation.

“It’s going to be hard to top the original reboot with Toby Maguire,” says Nelson Baxter, a source close to the horse. “Chase was a big fan of those movies, so I don’t think he’s quite sold on the new cast.”
