Shiba Pup Inks Six-Figure Endorsement Deal
A Shiba puppy named Marty has locked down a lucrative endorsement deal for Folgers Coffee, according to Adweek.
“It’s over $100K, that much we know,” says business reporter Hugh Kear. “Why Folgers is dropping that much on a puppy is unclear. I mean, sure he’s adorable, but can he sell coffee?”

Critics Praise Puppy’s One-Dog Show
A performance art piece conceived, directed and starring a puppy named Daphne has received wide critical acclaim in recent weeks.
“It’s an incredibly powerful piece of work,” says Darren Zhu, theater critic for Time Out New York. “It really captures the struggles we all face, whether you’re an adorable puppy or not.”
But the show’s producers are worried it might be a tough sell to the public.
“The art house crowd seems to really be into it,” says Barry Gloster, who raised some capital for the production. “But I’m not sure we’ll be able to recoup the full cost in ticket sales.”

Chanel to Bottle New ‘Wet Dog’ Fragrance
In a move that has many perfume marketers scratching their heads, Chanel is due to release a line of fragrances called “Wet Dog.”
“Lots of people enjoy the smell of musty mutt hair,” says Melissa Quashie, a Chanel spokesperson. “It reminds them of home and of simpler times. We want to bottle that feeling.”
Not everyone agrees.
“Wet dog is like the worst smell ever,” fashion blogger Kelly Ralls tells The Fluffington Post. “What’s next? Cologne that smells like BO?”
