In an era of McNuggets and McChicken sandwiches, this bird brings new meaning to the term “fast food.”
A brown hen has taken up residence outside a McDonald’s in Temecula and, try as they might, neither the employees nor the customers can catch her.
That’s like a dog hanging out in front of a Chinese restaurant in Peking. Sure everything seems OK, until they catch you. Next thing you know, you’re the number 12, extra spicy, on the menu.

Takaharu Kawata — branded by Japanese media as “The Dogman” — was caught on a surveillance camera wearing an oversized black-and-white canine mask while brandishing a knife.

How do you start a car with a dog? I guess you can stick its tail in the ignition and see if it starts or maybe attach the car to the dog like a rickshaw and pop it into gear when it gets rolling fast enough. What other solutions could there be?

If you do get the green light, remember that you only have this one chance to make a good first impression - and create the possibility of an annual company tradition. Here are some tips for success:
LOS ANGELES - Three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame have gone to the dogs, so why can’t Cheeta the chimp get some love? The animal actor, whose credits include the 1967 comedy “Dr. Doolittle” and the “Tarzan” movies, is trying for the seventh time to get a sidewalk star and become the first monkey to get the honor.
If fame is the measurement, then you know who should get a star instead of Cheeta? Clyde from Every Which Way But Loose fame. C’mon, any ape willing to kiss Ruth Gordon on the lips deserves a star.

Yes that’s right, Junior Cochran was a black labrador. Junior was voted mayor of Rabbit Hash in 2004 by a landslide victory after receiving over 3,000 votes, and making him only the second dog to ever become mayor of the town.
The high profile Cochran rose to fame convicting O.K. Simpson for the attack and murder of two rabbits. The notoriety he gained from the showcase trial was the springboard to his landslide victory.

FT. COLINS, Colo. (CBS) - Soon people in Fort Collins might be able to keep chickens as pets, similar to a dog or a cat. The City Council voted 5-2 to approve an ordinance Tuesday night, but it must still go through a final reading.
Fort Collins resident Dan Brown is leading the charge to allow chickens anywhere in Fort Collins. He says egg-laying chickens are a way for gardeners like him to make more food.
You know who else makes food? My feline sister Moose. Granted they’re not eggs but the kitty snickers are fabulous, and dare I say, more nutritious.
I’d like to see Brown take his chicken on a walk in the woods, drop it off at chickie day-care or (con't @ http://boknowsonline.com/2008/06/05/henhouse-co/#more-497)Brown said. “We’re not asking for any special treatment for chickens. We’re asking them to be treated just as any other household family pet would be.”
Recently I was in PetSmart, perusing the aisles with the old man in tow when the Bubble Buddy caught my eye. Once I read the packaging, I knew I had to get one for myself. It read…
That was the promise but in practice does the Bubble Buddy meet these lofty goals?
Before I begin, keep in mind that Happy Dog recommends this product for ages eight to adult. So for any of you young Pomeranians reading this, the Bubble Buddy is not for you.
Once home, I waited with anticipation as my father opened the packaging. The gun slipped out easily enough and so did the container of soapy sizzlin’ bacon juice. There’s a small chamber on the gun to put the bubble solution in. To me, it seemed too small, but then again I don’t hold the patent to this thing, Happy Dog Toys does. Surely the size of the chamber was a compromise between form and function.

Authorities say that Clarence Fenton had phenobarbital in his system when he crashed his sport utility vehicle into a utility pole last November. It took several months for the results of the blood tests that showed the drug in Fenton’s system.
Police say they found a bottle of pills prescribed for “Saturn” at the scene. They say Fenton admitted taking pills and that “Saturn” is his dog.
Phenobarbital is a drug used to control seizures in people and pets.
