Watch These Dogs Who Really Don't Like Lemons — Daily Distraction

Staff Writer — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 17:22:11 +0000

[onescreen item="5061008"] Dogs have a peculiar relationship with lemons (and limes and oranges—any citrus, really). A lemon, of course, is FOOD, so dogs want to eat it right now. But lemons also taste really sour, which most dogs really don’t like. But then again, it’s FOOD! Argh! Dog brains were not built to solve dilemmas like [...]

Staff Writer — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 17:15:55 +0000

[onescreen item="5060596"] This looks like it could actually be quite a bit of fun. We recently showed you some instances of dogs getting dragged around, so it’s only fair that we show you the reverse, right? The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you’re eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on [...]

Watch These Lazy Dogs Getting Dragged Across the Floor — Daily Distraction

Staff Writer — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:19:08 +0000

[onescreen item="5059780"] Sometimes a dog just doesn’t feel like it. Feel like what, exactly? Anything. So he just lies there, on the ground, and if you want him to move, well, good luck with that. Okay, it’s not always laziness. Sometimes getting dragged can be a really great back-scratcher. And we imagine it can be [...]

Watch These Dogs With Their Heads Stuck in Bags — Daily Distraction

Staff Writer — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:18:06 +0000

[onescreen item="5029273"] Somebody turn on the lights! For the record here, we’re not encouraging people to go around putting bags on their dogs’ heads just for fun and laughs—in most of these cases, the mischievous pooch in question stuck his head inside the dog-food bag when he shouldn’t have and learned a valuable lesson. Sometimes [...]

Watch These Cats and Dogs Who Really Hate Taking Baths — Daily Distraction

Staff Writer — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:22:20 +0000

[onescreen item="5026379"] If you’ve ever tried to give a cat a bath—or even just bring the cat anywhere near a bathtub—then you know how these people feel. And it’s not only our feline friends who loathe the idea of getting dunked into soapy water. Rather than willingly submit to the utter torture of bath time, quite a [...]

Dog With Itchy Trigger Paw Shoots Owner in the Leg

Drew Weisholtz — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:35:17 +0000

A dog’s bark may be worse than its bite, but the same can’t be said for its aim. A dog in Sebring, Florida somehow shot its owner in the leg with the owner’s gun last weekend. Man’s best friend? Sure doesn’t sound like it. It seems the victim, identified as 35-year-old Gregory Lanier, was driving [...]

Meet Animal Allies Pet of the Week Steven

Ken Hayes — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 17:25:44 +0000

I always think it’s funny when people name pets traditional people names. Steven is one of the longest residents at the shelter, and he’s really looking for a nice home where he can be the only pet. He doesn’t need a lot of attention and likes his independence. Here’s what Animal Allies had to say [...]

Video of the Rarely Seen Scottish Terrier Puppy Pinwheel — Daily Distraction

Staff Writer — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:19:03 +0000

[onescreen item="5008413"] Never seen a Scottish terrier puppy pinwheel? It’s a mesmerizing sight. “Why don’t they stop walking, and just stand and drink?” you might ask. But that would be missing the point entirely. Once one of them starts moving as he drinks, the other five must then do the same. And round and round they [...]

Endo, a mastiff, showed up at the Superior Animal Allies shelter as a stray. With the modern technology of micro-chipping pets, they were able to see where Endo came from, which was a long way from here! Discovering who Endo belonged to was the easy part.

Watch This Dog Drive a Four-Wheeler — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:12:54 +0000

[onescreen item="4994464"] Sit. Play dead. Roll over. Operate this motor vehicle. The last one doesn’t quite belong, does it? We could never quite master the art of training a dog to even shake our hand. These people taught their dog how to drive. And honk the horn, too. Impressive. The Daily DistractionÂ is your Internet break [...]

Dog Bounces Up Stairs Like Legs Are Springs [VIDEO]

Ken Hayes — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:55:52 +0000

David Drew — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 05:07:35 +0000

Fridays make everyone want to jump for joy, right? If only we had the hops this cute little dog does. I don’t know what’s better, his jumping ability or the music they chose. Have a fantastic Friday and nobody will blame you if you sneak in a jump or two down the hallway.

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:40:57 +0000

An 8-year-old hairless Chinese Crested named Mugly has been crowned the World’s Ugliest Dog for the second time in his career. Back in 2005 the adorably repulsive pooch won Britain’s Ugliest Dog contest as a pup, and over the weekend the fur-less wonder took the title at the 24th annual World’s Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. Beating a [...]
