Experts: Do Not Let a Dog Do Your Taxes

Yes, dog accountants are cheaper, but according to tax experts, they also make more mistakes.  Those are the results of a new study from the American Institute of CPAs, which compared anonymized, audited tax returns from over 100 canine accountants with an equal number from H&R Block. The data showed that dog accountants made three times more mistakes than their human counterparts and left an average $587 in potential refunds on the table.

So as April 15 nears, remember: puppy CPAs may be adorable, but they also might not be the best choice to file your tax return this year.

REPORT: Dog Put His Right Foot In

Numerous British media outlets including The Guardian and The Financial Times are reporting that Dukie, a toy poodle, has put his right foot in.

Witnesses go on to say that Dukie then proceeded to take his right foot out. Shortly after, he put his right foot back in and proceeded to “shake it all about.”

“He did the Hokey Pokey and he turned himself around,” Caroline Ames told The Guardian. “That’s what it’s all about.”

Local Pup Trapped After Freak Dogslide

By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

In what authorities are calling “the worst dog pile-up in years,” a local pooch has become wedged under a second dog and is currently awaiting rescue.

“Dogs are especially susceptible to seismic shifts,” says geologist Stephen Franklin. “Then again, these two could have just been playing.”

According to sources, the dog has been in relatively good spirits, busying himself with the many treats and chew toys thrown down by well-wishers. Authorities estimate that the dog could be freed by early next week, weather permitting.
