It’s hard to be a puppy. All that cuteness and people always cooing “awwww!” at you and having little puppy paws that make many folks just want to eat you up.
Sometimes you simply have to take a nap to escape it all. So you cuddle into a warm lap, and what happens? You get the hiccups. And then your humans think you’re even more adorable, so they grab a camera and film the whole thing and put it on the internet.
It’s hard to imagine one dog jumping rope, but 13? At the same time? That requires real talent and training. That’s why Uchida Geinousha, who trains dogs for the Super Wan Wan Circus has been awarded the Guinness World Record for dog handler to train the most dogs skipping rope at the same time.
This pooch was able to stay perfectly still as his owner built a Jenga-like tower of tempting dog treats right on his snout. Then the canine continues the balancing act until getting a signal that the trick is over.
This Pomeranian pup hears the sounds of a wolfpack howling from a YouTube video and at first, these calls of the wild seem to have the little fellow worried. But after a few curious head tilts, the puppy gets into the spirit and starts howling right along.
While its true that laser beams have yet to become the bad guy-zapping weapons we were promised by science fiction, the laser does have many modern day uses.
In this video, for example, we find that a laser pointer can be used to perplex and fascinate a cockatoo. Kiwi never is able to capture the little red dot with his beak or his claw, but it’s not for lack of trying.
As this photogenic kitty ages, it will likely develop a more advanced repertoire of viral video moves. But with youth on its side, all the little furball needs to do to keep us entertained is a bit of morning stretching.
Is that a hedgehog on the floor or are you just happy to see us? This dog is so excited and/or anxious about the prickly brown pile on the floor that he’s decided to skip today’s walk and just run in place.
In reality, we think he’s probably trying to dig a hole so he can expose the hedgehog’s soft, defenseless underside but that’s not nearly as cute to think about. Thank goodness for laminate flooring.
Lots of dogs can skateboard, snowboard and surf, but one that can do all three? That’s a new trick.
One way-coordinated pooch named Tillman started out as just a skateboarder (and one with almost 6,000 Facebook fans), but now the bulldog is an extreme sports triple threat.
In a clear case of monkey-see-monkey-do, this ape seems desperate to fire off a text message from an iPhone.
Cats and dogs may be natural enemies — but given the right critters with the right temperaments, they can also be the best of friends.
These two adorable buddies prove they’re species-blind as they romp and play, and the kitty seems completely undaunted to be engaging in horseplay with a competitor well above his weight class.
Talk about a complete 360. Michael Vick is really doing a good job showing us that he is truly remorseful for his actions. He is actually lending his support to a congressional bill that will penalize those who attend animal fights.
