That looks cold. And of course, people are criticizing him for saving his dog because the man could have put rescuers in danger who would have had to him. More pictures and the happy ending after the jump.

I kid you not.

It's not exactly a tiny shark, either. This dog helps out it's owner by jumping in the water, grabbing the shark that was just caught with a fishing line, and drags it to the shore.

Even as someone who deals with dog and cat stuff every day, I'm still sometimes amazed at pet-related trends. Cat Clothes are something that I never even thought was possible a few years ago. If I tried to put a cat sweater or other type of cat clothes onto most cats I've known, I'd have come away with about a pint of blood less than when I started.

But, as the popularity of Stuff On My Cat has taught us, stuff on cats is crazy cute, cat clothes included.

We're starting to carry more cat clothes recently, and are constantly looking for great things to offer. If you have any suggestions, let us know!

I've already confessed that I'm a sci-fi junkie. I also happen to be a fan of over-the-top cat condos. So, when I see that we're now carrying a cat condo that looks a bit like the Lunar Lander, I'm instantly intrigued. The Savvy Tabby Kitty Observatory is a space saving (get it?!?!?!) design that fits in the corner, but provides some serious play and relaxation opportunities for your cat. And I have a secret...

I was just talking to our warehouse manager about these Slumber Pet Flower Dog Beds. At least, I think I was.

I sort of blacked out when she exclaimed "Aren't they soooo cuuuuuuute?"

It wasn't the words. It was the fact that as she said it, the pitch of her voice went so high as to shatter windows and send dogs howling away. Fortunately, I think that as I passed out, my head happened to land on one, saving me from a concussion (in addition to the concussive blast my eardrums had already suffered).

So here you go. We just got these in. I agree that they're impossibly cute, but just a few octaves lower.

Oh, and we have them in pink, too.

OK, I admit it. I'm a sci-fi geek. So I was perusing the sci-fi fansite io9 this morning and came across this gem. It's from Make Magazine (subscription required to view the article), but was recently featured on Make TV.

The general idea is that the VCR motor powers the cat food shaker, which dumps the cat food into the cat bowl. The VCR itself can be programmed to activate at certain times, allowing your cat to get his precious kibbles while you are galavanting elsewhere.

Pretty cool, except who could actually ever program a VCR when they were actually in use, much less today? Isn't that why Tivo came along?

Oh, what animal actors will put up with for fame and a milk bone. More pics after the jump.

The mother of all catfights, a clash of titans, and victory snatched from the claws of defeat.

So what's the big deal? Do dogs really need a foofy dog bed? I mean, they sure didn't have things like that before they were domesticated, right? Wrong.

I have no idea what the story is on these images, but this is pretty freaky. Those are some serious muzzles dog leashes on those pet hyenas.

These are apparently what pass for pet dogs among street toughs in Nigeria.
