New Canine Driving Law Unpopular in Colorado

A new law in Colorado that allows dogs to obtain motor vehicle operator’s licenses is causing many to scratch their heads. 

“It’s crazy,” says Mark Burnham, a driving instructor from Boulder, CO.  "I mean, they don’t even have hands, and most of them can’t reach the brakes.“

The law, which slipped through as an amendment to a highway budget bill, is being lauded by canine rights groups.

Photographic Evidence of Dog Conscience Emerges

A photograph has emerged that purports to prove the existence of the canine conscience.  The snapshot shows a black lab mix, with a tiny puppy perched on his back. 

“As you can clearly see,” said canine philosopher and theologian Max Grahame, “that tiny puppy is the physical manifestation of the larger puppy’s conscience.  He’s there to guide the larger pup in matters of moral decision making.”

However, The Fluffington Post had a forensic photographer examine the picture, and he came to a vastly different conclusion.  "It’s just the perspective of the photo.  Stop wasting my time,“ he said, before kicking us out of his office.

4 Out of 5 Dogs Prefer Chewing Bones to Flossing

A new study from the American Dental Association indicates that 4 out of 5 canines prefer chewing bones to flossing as part of a healthy dental regimen.  "Dogs just don’t like floss. Can’t work it,“ said Natalie Willing, a spokesperson for the ADA.

On the other hand, said Willing, they go absolutely bananas for bones.  Many will chew on bones all day if allowed.  What’s their preferred brand of bone?  Anything "animal,” according to the survey.
