We have some sad news. Oreo was not granted amnesty by the ASPCA and the so-called animal welfare group did the only humane thing they could think of: they killed it. RIP!
Poor Oreo. First, the pit bull survives getting tossed off a building in June by its asshole owner. Then she underwent surgery to reconstruct her front legs with plates and screws. And now, after being physically rehabilitated by the ASPCA for the past few months, the dog is facing a certain death. Wait…what? Apparently she’s got some bad temperament issues. Wouldn’t you still be a little jaded Read more »
Chelsea Gallery Has ‘Gone to the Dogs’

Steam punk two-wheelers, cop K-9s and unabashed crotch-sniffers are featured in “Gone to the Dogs,” a canine themed exhibition at Denise Bibro Fine Art. The group show includes artworks by 22 human and 3 animal artists “exploring our multi-faceted relationships with the beloved dog.” Surprisingly, none of the artists are touching the abusive relationship of convicted dog killer Michael Vick, not even those creative canines. You’d think they’d stand up for their own kind.
Ok, I have to be honest…this story made me tear up. But they were happy tears! And if you love dogs and/or have a heart, you will tear up too. Trust me on this one. Read more »
Jessica Simpson tweeted last night that her beloved “Malti-Poo,” Daisy, had been snatched away by a coyote right in front of her very eyes. When I was a wee Cajun lad, I had a dog snatched away by an alligator when it sniffed around the water’s edge, so I feel Jessica’s pain. However, I didn’t post any missing dog notices because doing so would’ve been pointless, just as it probably is in this case, but we wish Jessica luck regardless. |Jessica Simpson’s Twitter|
A Chicago man busted for growing pot claims that he was cultivating cannabis so that he could train his dog to be a drug-sniffing canine sleuth. This reminds me of the time a friend told me that he kept gerbils in his apartment for “clinical trials” he conducted at home. IChicago Breaking NewsI
Chanel RIP: 1988-2009
The world’s oldest dog has died at the tender age of 21 (147 in dog years) on Long Island. Chanel, a wire-haired dachshund, was honored with the title in May by the Guinness World Records after a 28-year-old beagle from Virginia passed away, indicating that health care in the U.S. is exceptional compared to other industrialized nations—when it comes to pets! |NYP|
Michael Vick Mural Buffed
In honor of the Philadelphia Eagles’ latest recruit, local graffiti artists painted this mural showing Michael Vick dominating his new rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. Not surprisingly, the new painting of the convicted dog killer strangling a puppy clad in Tony Romo’s Cowboys jersey has already been painted over. |The 700 Level|
