Pup Reluctantly Signs Up to Fight Zombies

· Leave a Comment

When it comes to natural disasters, the chances of a Zombie Apocalypse aren’t very high, especially compared to hurricanes, earthquakes, or dinosaur attacks, for example.

But should one befall the neighborhood, a Shih-Tzu named Alice will be the first line of defense. She volunteered Wednesday to battle the walking dead – perhaps against her better judgement – should they shamble from the grave and threaten humanity.

“Look, she may not be exactly what you think of as your classic ‘zombie hunter,’” says Melanie Corman, a deputy of the neighborhood watch who co-founded the Zombie Defense Coalition (ZDC). “But she’s pretty handy with a shotgun. You wouldn’t think so, but she is.”

Area Dog Strongly Suspects He Might Be Going to the Vet

· Leave a Comment

Rufus, a local dog, has strong suspicions that he’s on his way to the vet. According to sources close to the situation, Rufus was asked if he wanted to “go for a car ride” about 20 minutes ago, and lured into the vehicle with a couple of milk bones.

He began to suspect something was amiss when the car sped past the dog park his family usually goes to about 10 minutes into the ride.

“He’s pretty sure they’re in the part of town where his veterinarian is located,” said a source who wish to remain anonymous. “I guess we’ll know soon where the car is headed.”

We’ll update this post as more information becomes available…

Pug Pair Break Land Speed Record With Homemade Racers

· Leave a Comment

At an unheralded event in Massachusetts, two pugs have narrowly broken the world record for the top speed of a land vehicle.

The previous record, held for 18 years by a British Airforce pilot, was surpassed early Tuesday morning by Mowgli, a Boston pug who’s homemade racer topped out at 763.041 miles per hour (squeaking past the record of 763.035 mph).

“This is a huge day, not just for the record, but for the entire canine racing community,” says Ross Glover, a spokesperson for the dogs.

Mowgli’s engineering partner Penelope will also share the spoils of the record, which include a substantial cash prize, in addition to being recorded in the history books.

Tiny Pup Has Big Dreams of Basketball Stardom

· Leave a Comment

By Austin Knief, FluffPo Contributor

Kirby, a small white terrier from the Bronx, has had dreams of becoming a basketball superstar since the first time he touched a squeaky ball. Kirby’s fire and intensity, according to trainer/ life coach Mark Morabini, stems from a viewing of Air Bud that took place nearly two years ago.

“Air Bud is the perfect underdog story,” said Morabini. “I mean, sure I had my doubts about putting a dog on a basketball court. But after I saw that film, I immediately brought Kirby out onto the hardwood and we got to work. He’s small, but he’s scrappy and hard-working. That’s what you look for in a Canine-American athlete.”

Morabini also added that Kirby does not wish to be referred to as “underdog” for undisclosed reasons.
