Here's a story for you if you're in need of a good cry but don't feel like smashing your thumb with a hammer. One dog is so loyal to his owner, that he has continued to go to mass at the church where her funeral was held months ago. Still no tears? Read the details.

It's a scenario which has played out in countless homes over the years. The kids want a puppy, but the dad isn't so sure it's a good idea. But when the Cordell girls, Cadence, 12, and Emerson, 9, went to their father Ryan with their canine request, he added a social media clause -- he would get his daughters a dog if they could get one million likes on Facebook.

As far as hats go, you really can't beat a sombrero. It screams "party" and announces to the world that you're a mellow dude who probably plays a mean guitar in a mariachi band. But when you put a sombrero on an animal, that's when the magic happens...

After weeks of voting, the results are in for this year's TheFW awards, and in the category of Best Dog Video of 2012 we have a clear winner ... Banthapug, ladies and gentlemen!

For many dog lovers, getting a memorial tattoo in honor of your departed friend or even just some ink to show how rad you think Spud MacKenzie is makes perfect sense, especially if you're new to the world of piercings and tattoos.

If there's one thing we know about dogs, it's that they love attention. In our experience, pupsters are full-on hams when it comes to getting in front of the camera, and truthfully, we wouldn't have it any other way. Remember those ridiculously cute Halloween costumes? We rest our case.

Never, ever underestimate the power of social media. On Sunday night (Jan. 13), country superstar Dierks Bentley's dog Jake went missing during a big thunderstorm. Bentley tweeted about his beloved pooch being lost, and the country community -- fans, artists and even the boss at Bentley's label -- rallied around him to help spread the word and support him. They also ultimately helped locate the do

In the battle of dog versus orange, we might have to declare that this one goes to the latter.

The holidays might be over, but there are still tons of reasons to be happy. For starters, dogs with eyebrows are now a thing, and we couldn't be more stoked. Plus, there's really nothing fun about sporting a scowl, so we like to keep things positive and fun.

Holy cow, it's a dog that can drive! Sort of. Granted, we've seen dogs driving actual cars before, but this one is an enormous dog in a tiny Power Wheels. Plus he has no idea how to steer.

While most of the world will be watching the ‘Big Game’ on Sunday February 3rd, there will be diehard fans of another sport watching their T.V.’s too. The ‘Puppy Bowl’ is returning to the Animal Planet for the seventh year in a row.

If there's anything cuter than a poodle, it's a poodle in a sweater. Come on, you can't tell us a Pokemon pug isn't totally adorable or a Santa puppy fails to pull on your animal-loving heartstrings. That being said, things are kept fairly tame on our end when it comes to dressing up our dogs, because we don't want to embarrass them too much.

Do you find that your dog is frequently stressed after a hard day of guarding the home? Then you may want to help your pooch unwind with 'Dawg Grog,' which is being marketed as beer for man's best friend.
