Brooklyn Dog Raises $1.2 Million for Tech Startup
Brooklyn Dog Raises $1.2 Million for Tech Startup
An enterprising pooch named Ranger has just inked a deal with venture capital firm Innovation Partners for a cool $1.2 million. The money will be used to staff up a new Internet company called WoofMix.com, based in Brooklyn, NY. According to sources, a portion of the cash is already earmarked for incorporation and legal expenses.
So, what does WoofMix plan to do?
“We’re not entirely sure,” says Jeremy Shoemacher, an investor with Innovation Partners. “But Ranger wears a hoodie to work, so he must know what he’s doing with that whole Internet business thing, right?”
Shoemacher later added, “Right? RIGHT?! Oh God, I’m so fired, aren’t I?”

Dog Finally Called for Penalty
Dog Finally Called for Penalty
Soccer fans love the way Wally the puppy plays the game, and coaches can’t get enough of his positive attitude and team leadership. But opposing players have long complained that he often gets away with carrying the ball when the refs aren’t looking.
“It’s not fair, you know?” said Tennessee Horned Toads fullback Seamus O’Rourke. “Wally’s a great player, but he never gets whistled.”
Until now, that is. Wally was called for a penalty during a game yesterday afternoon, drawing his first whistle for the surreptitious ball carrying all seasons. The opposing team was awarded a free kick.

Dog Astounds Opera World With Puccini Aria
Dog Astounds Opera World With Puccini Aria
Opera fans and critics are abuzz after a recording by a golden retriever mix named Huck started spreading across the Internet.
“It’s a performance of ‘Nessun dorma,’ Puccini’s famous aria from the end of Turandot,” Opera Watcher columnist George Malin tells The Fluffington Post. “Only the world’s best tenors have what it takes to do it justice – Luciano Pavarotti defined the piece in the ’80s.”
After hearing Huck’s performance, a number of critics have come forward proclaiming this a turning point in the craft.
“I don’t say this lightly – I think Huck’s Puccini is better than Pavarotti’s,” says Malin. “That’s a big f***ing deal. I could get whacked for saying something like that.”
