A seven-kilogram cocker spaniel-poodle mix named Pawlee scared off a mother bear and her two cubs Sunday morning after they strayed into his owners’ backyard in New Jersey.

Have you ever danced with your dog? Rumba with your retriever, polka with your poodle, or samba with your Scottish terrier in Japan, where dog dancing is the latest must-do activity in this canine-crazy nation.

I don’t know folks, this dog claims to be the strongest dog in the world. What do you think? Supposodly, this is a deformed Whippet. Twice the weight, and born with a disorder. Disorder? - twice the muscle, or 24 pack.  Anyone say photo-shop? I have to see it to believe it. Blog away.

Holy tolodee, this dog is haveing more fun then any kid or adult I have ever seen on a slide. What does your dog do when you are not around. Ever wanted to create a spy cam. Have a story to tell us, please write in.

When Yosuke the parrot flew out of his cage and got lost, he did exactly what he had been taught - recite his name and address to a stranger willing to help.

Gibson, the Great Dane has pawed his wa into the record books. He’s the world’s tallest dog. The Harleguin Great Dane is more than seven feet tall when he’s standing on his hind legs.

Quite unbelievable, Lance Mackey wins. He is from,
Fairbanks, AK, USA
Bib Number: 6 
Final Position: 1 
Checkpoint: Nome
Time In: Wed, March 12, 2008 02:46:48
Dogs In: 11 
Finishing Time: 9 Days 11 Hours 46 Minutes 48 Seconds 
Average Speed: 4.56 MPH

Lance Mackey, 36, was born and raised in Alaska. The 2007 Iditarod champion and three time Yukon Quest champion (and current record holder) says he began mushing “at birth.” “I grew up around racing and the Iditarod. I was at the finish line in 1978 to see my father, Dick Mackey, win by one second. In 1983, my older brother, Rick, won. Both my father and brother won wearing bib #13 in their sixth Iditarod.” Last year was Lance’s sixth Iditarod and he won wearing bib #13, just as he had planned. He says, “I like old stuff, my wife calls junk.” He and Tonya are the parents of Amanda, 19, Brittney, 17, Alanah, 16 and Cain, 15.
 

Incredible, this mother will nurse little piggy as her own. A family had a sow farrow 12 pigs. One of the pigs appeared pre-mature and was born with its eyes sealed shut. (Pigs are born with their eyes open.) They took it from the sow and put it with their dog that just had puppies. Apparently she is nursing it and treating it like her others.

It’s unlike any other event in the world. A race over 1,150 miles of the most extreme and beautiful terrain known to man: across mountain ranges, frozen rivers, dense forests, desolate tundra and windswept coastline.
