Vote Now in our ‘Cute Dog, Ugly Sweater’ Contest
In our quest to figure out new and innovative ways to humiliate our pets, we’ve decided to team up with the ASPCA for a Cute Dog, Ugly Sweater contest! It’s exactly what it sounds like: we dressed adorable puppies in hideous holiday sweaters and made them compete in a fashion face off for our enjoyment (and yours!). You can browse through the contestants in the gallery above.
Vote now for your favorite by clicking here and you could be entered to win an ASPCA prize pack!
Remember – these pups are all available for adoption and would love a good home for the holidays!
So which puppy wears its sweater best? Er, worst? Uh…
Puppy Hacker Figures Out What He’s Getting for Christmas
Puppy Hacker Figures Out What He’s Getting for Christmas
Cornelius, a puppy from Coral Gables, FL, will have no surprises under his Christmas tree this year, and it’s his own fault. The dog hacked into the online commerce accounts of friends and family members to see what they had bought for him, according to ISP records obtained by The Fluffington Post.
“On the one hand, it’s awful,” said friend Cordelia Malley. “On the other hand, I guess I was on the right track by buying him that Raspberry Pi board and book about Arduino.”

Watch This Paralyzed Puppy Get a New Lease on Life
This is the story of Ricky Bobby, a 10-year-old dachshund who is partially paralyzed and doesn’t have use of his hind legs. When Humane Society rescuers found the pup, he had been dragging his non-working legs around on a cement floor, which had left him covered in open sores, callouses and suffering from muscle atrophy on his underside.
He, and other rescued animals, were sent to CareFirst Animal Hospital in North Carolina to be treated for health issues caused by neglect. That’s where he met Megan, a vet tech who helped treat the dog, patch him up and built him a wheelchair using PVC pipe and a baby stroller. Fast forward eight months and Ricky Bobby is now as active as a puppy, chasing his adoptive mom around on his new set of wheels.
Watch the video above to learn more about Ricky Bobby’s inspiring story, and then consider donating to the Humane Society of the United States to help animal rescue efforts all over America.
