Bernese Mountain Dogs Finish First 5k

Ev and Biz, two Bernese Mountain Dogs from Rancho Cucamonga, CA, completed their first 5k today. The pair have been training diligently for two months to get this to point, gradually increasing the distance of their running each day.

“We’re really proud of them,” said race coordinator Quentin Allegré. “They’re the only dogs of their size to finisht this year, which is a real testament to the hard work they’ve put in.”

According to friends, Ev and Biz hope to someday run a full marathon, possibly with their friend and training partner, a Brittany Spaniel named Jack.

Doggie Dad Gets Father’s Day Tie for Third Straight Year

Ralph, a dog and father from Grand Rapids, MI, was given a tie for Father’s Day today for the third consecutive year.

Though appreciative of the gesture, sources tell The Fluffington Post that Ralph is kind of sick of ties. 

“He has three now,” said our source. “He’s a dog, so I mean, he doesn’t wear ties most days. They really just go to waste. He does look smashing, though.”

Puppy Dishwasher Now Available In Under-the-Counter Model

The popular Whirlpool canine dishwasher is now available in a convenient under-the-counter model, the company announced today. Previously, dog dishwashers had to be walked into the kitchen and brought to the dirty plates. With the new under-the-counter model, dishes can be easily loaded directly from the sink.

The dishwashing unit will come in four different sizes, ranging from Shih Tzu, which is designed for smaller, apartment-sized kitchens, all the way up to St. Bernard. A Great Dane unit for commercial operations will be made available next year.
