Sunday links

I'm going to start doing a weekly roundup of links to dog related stuff because people send me online videos and such and sometimes they make me go wow and sometimes they make me laugh and I think I should probably pass them around.

Nothing sad here. There's enough sad stuff elsewhere.

A dog collapses during a training class. The instructor does CPR on it. Here's what happens:




Have you seen Portlandia on the IFC network? Here's their spot with the Portland Pet Haven shelter staff. Get ready for some amazing learnin' from two actual dog experts:




Portlandia again. An afternoon with two heroes of the dog rescue community:




Article in The Telegraph from the Don't Communists Make the Best Capitalists Department, a 1.5 million dollar dog:

"He is a perfect specimen," said Mr Lu, who runs the Tibetan Mastiff Garden in Laoshan, near the eastern Chinese city of Qingdao. "He has excellent genes and will be a good breeding dog. When I started in this business, ten years ago, I never thought we would see such a price."



I'm sure you've seen this one. If you haven't, you're obviously not on the internet enough and need to GET ON THE INTERNET NOW! Oh wait. I guess you already are.

  2. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.. Sugar, the CPR dog, passed away a little more than a week after that video was taken.

  4. Just had to comment again.
    Those mix breeds playing in the pool are hilarious.
    That must be some tough pool to withstand those 2.

    Great links Fred even though that first one had an eventual sad ending.
