This story gives a whole new meaning to the saying ‘your bark is worse than your bite.’ A woman in Athens, GA started barking when she heard someone trying to break into her house, eventually scaring off the intruder.
The Athens Banner-Herald reported Monday that the woman scared off the suspect around 11 p.m. Saturday. According to police, the woman got on the floor and began scratching at the door and acting like a large dog when the suspicious man tried turning the woman’s door knob.
The police report did not say what specific dog-like behaviors, such as barking, the woman mimicked.
I get the barking part, even the scratching at the door, but if the intruder couldn’t see her through the door why did she get down on all fours?

*If the woman had a real dog like Harley he could do the barking for her.
Are there now dogs being trained to sniff out cheating spouses? Well, not exactly, but a Yorkie in Italy did rat out his mom.
A Sicilian woman told her husband she was taking their dog for a walk. A bit later the husband was out with the kids when he heard a familiar bark. He found his pup tied to a tree in front of a bar.
According to the Metro.co.uk, the husband looked in the bar and found his wife in a passionate embrace with the owner. This probably won’t come as a surprise, the couple is planning on divorcing. I wonder if there will be a custody fight over the dog? I’m thinking the dog goes with the husband.
If anyone out there needs to keep their spouse in line, Princeton is up for adoption. He’s 3-months-old and was surrendered by the breeder who could not get him adopted. He is on Dogster’s Dog Adoption & Rescue Center, totally unrelated to the story, there was no picture of their Yorkie.
When owners tell their pups to “jump”, most dogs will ask how high?
When I hear that phrase, I ask why? I mean, why risk a hip fracture? Why risk a twisted paw? Why risk leaving mother earth for even a split second?
When I bark “jump”, my owners know it’s time for them to jump off the couch and let me out, or in, depending on the circumstances. It’s to the point where I just move my jowls without making a peep. In the flash of eye, they drool and spring to life to open the door.
It’s a nice party trick but it’s got nothing on what Taiwanese dogs are doing to control their human counterparts. There’s gold in them there poops and Reuters has the full story.

The dog played with the Chihuahua and a Yorkshire terrier who live there. He didn’t want to hurt anyone, he was just looking for a little fun.
Unfortunately, the dog did cause a bit of a mess in the home, ripping through a bag of dog food and scattering it around, knocking things over, and leaving a little bit of himself in the dining room.
Wow, Boomer is huge, and may be the world’s tallest dog. The landseer newfoundland stands three feet tall and seven feet long from nose to tail. His owner is trying to get into the book of Guinness World Records.

Here it is…Intelligence Of A Government Dog Employee.
Four men were bragging about how smart their dogs were.
The first man was an Engineer.
The second man was an Accountant.
The third man was a Chemist.
The fourth man was a Government Employee.
To show off, the Engineer called his dog “T-square” over to do her stuff.
The dog pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen, then promptly drew a circle, a square and a triangle.
Everybody agreed that was pretty smart.
But the Accountant said his dog could do better. He called his dog, “Spreadsheet” over and told her to do her stuff. The dog went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. She then divided them into four equal piles of 3 cookies each.
