[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 — 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 [...]

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?
