Little Mix may be the hot favourites but the race for Christmas number one may not be over yet with a popular YouTube video being turned into a remix hit.
The YouTube clip of a dog owner frantically chasing after his dog Fenton across Richmond Park has been remixed by The Hoxtons, a progressive house duo, and may be heading to the much-desired number one spot this Christmas.
The single, “Benton! Jesus Christ!” which features Fenton Against (more…)
A short YouTube video has now been viewed more than 700,000 times since being posted on the site last week.
Ali Goodyear, 37-years-old, had taken his animal loving 13-year old son to Richmond Park in London for a day out. They set about filming some deer in the park and ended up getting some fantastic footage of a different kind.
Their video pictures a man running after his dog, Fenton, who has managed to get away from his owner and is seen chasing a huge group of deer.
The owner is heard in the video screaming for his dog and trying to catch up with him after he makes a dash for (more…)
David Walliams, part man, part comedian, part fish, rescued a dog that got into difficulties whilst swimming in the Thames on the latest leg of his charity swim.
The star of Little Britain and Come Fly With Me was approaching Coockham Lock, Berkshire, on his gruelling 140-mile (225K) swimathon along the UK’s most famous river, when a Labrador named Vinnie leaped off the bank to join him.
Vinny’s owner, Gina Fidler, explained that her dog has a fixation with water: he has a bad hip, and (more…)
A man has been fined £80 for not keeping his skateboarding dog on a lead.
Jonathan Fell was also threatened with more serious legal action if he fails to keep his Lakeland terrier Bodhi under control.
Bodhi is usually a very popular attraction in Brighton, East Sussex, where he performs all of his skateboarding tricks. He has also become something of an Internet sensation and has over 20,000 followers on YouTube, and has (more…)
Boris Johnson had better watch his back – a town in America has just elected a dog as their new mayor.
Yes, you heard that correct… a dog… as mayor. It is America after all.
Lucy Lou, a brown and white border collie, came first in the race to become Mayor in the town of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. However, it wasn’t plain sailing – she had to fend off some stiff competition in the shape of (more…)
US media personality, business magnate and one-time jailbird Martha Stewart has been hospitalised after being head-butted by her dog.
Stewart, 69, needed nearly ten stitches to her top lip after her pet French bulldog, Francesca, administered a textbook smack in the mouth.
The TV presenter said that she leant over to her dog to “whisper goodbye” to it while it was (more…)
In case you were unaware, today is ‘National Dress Up Your Pet Day’. Although you can conceivably dress up just about any pet (my pet iguana looks swell in his Boba Fett costume), dogs are easier than most to do so. This may be due to their easy going nature, a willingness to sacrifice their dignity for a new dog toy, or even from a genuine love of dressing up.
If you’re planning on fitting your dog out with something other than his usual velour tracksuit or bandana and shades, there are a couple of (more…)
It’s not unusual for a dog to chase a cat up a tree, but it is when the moggy in question is a mountain lion and the dog is a Jack Russell.
Chad Strenge, of Colman, South Dakota, heard the commotion whilst at home on his farm. He went to investigate, and discovered that Jack, his Jack Russell terrier (very clever with the names these Americans), had chased a mountain lion up a tree on his land.
Now, you really have to imagine the scene here. Jack Russell Terrier – Mountain Lion. One is a short, snappy dog – the other is a very large predator.
After spending some time clinging to the top of the tree, the mountain lion, also known as a cougar, made a break for it and (more…)
We’ve all seen surfboarding dogs, skateboarding dogs and dogs doing ballet, but are there any dogs who crave a slightly faster speed? Maybe something powered by engines, with four wheels and the ability to go off-road?
With this burning question ringing in my ears I headed for YouTube to see if I could find any videos of dogs riding Honda quad bikes – because there’s just something funny about a dog sat on a quad bike as it speeds over the fields, or through the snow in some cases.
This first video features a Labrador taking a serene ride on a quad bike, but because of his size he is able to (more…)
Tonight and, let’s face it, for most of this week and the coming weekend will see a whole array of whizzes, whoops and bangs going off in the night sky. It’s Bonfire Night once again, where children of all ages (from 1 month to 100 years most likely) gather around a fire while someone of a pseudo-responsible nature sets off fireworks in honour of, well, does anyone really care?
Yes it’s fun, it’s loud, it’s colourful and it’s ultimately very expensive (literally setting fire to money) but it’s also somewhat scary for small animals, especially those with finely tuned hearing such as dogs.
Bonfire Night may be fun for you and me, but for dogs like Scooby Doo it can be terrifying (well, everything’s terrifying for Scooby, but that’s another issue). Dog owners are therefore advised to keep their (more…)
