Analysts: Humans May Never Understand the Appeal of Dog Music

Ever look through your dog’s record collection and think to yourself, “What is this crap?”

You’re not alone. A new study from the Canine Institute of Comparative Culture suggests that the gulf between human and dog tastes in music may never be overcome.

“We have different brains,” says Ronald Stark, who lead the study. “So while humans may like Mozart or AC/DC, dogs will enjoy bands like Butt Sniffers Club or The Bacon Brothers. They have different harmonic structures which will never be amenable to our ears.”

Fast Food Is Leading Cause of Obesity in Dogs

It’s no surprise that most dogs love a good hamburger, but according to new research from the National Institutes of Health, fast food is to blame for most cases of canine obesity. Researchers say that in moderation, fast food can be an acceptable part of overall diet, but in low income areas where dogs have fewer healthy eating options, avoiding fast food can be difficult.

Cat to Judge Worldwide Beer Competition

The enigmatic persian cat at the helm of Feline Beer Advocate magazine, known to his fans by his pen name, “Bubbles,” will judge the 57th Annual Brewmaster’s Cup in Munich, Germany this summer.  "We’re honored to have such a noted beer expert lead our panel of judges,“ said Hans Fröehlich, chairman of the German Brew Club, which hosts the competition. 

Experts say that Bubbles’ preference for hoppier beers could take the competition in a new direction this year.
