This Dog Goes Outside, But Watch His Amazing Reaction Once They Realize Who Was There

http://www.woofipedia.com/images/uploads/backyard_reunion_header.jpg What began as a regular potty break turned into a heartwarming reunion. The owner gathers four of her five dogs together before letting them outside and once they're let loose, we see one of the Great Danes make a beeline for the storage shed. It's almost as if he knew what was waiting for him. Then, the other dogs follow and they find their soldier waiting with the same amount of excitement, if not more. As the other dogs

Wiener Dog Doing Agility Makes Up the Rules on the Fly

Edith is all about the climb. This miniature Dachshund and Twitter star showed just how cute a few mistakes can be when she ran around the agility course and, fueled by just a wee-bit too much excitement, did a few extra obstacles. Edith seems to prefer darting up the A frame and dog walk—she took several detours to show off her sprinting skills on the elevated equipment.

Dogs Enjoy a Concert Performed Just for Them

Laurie Anderson, a musician and experimental artist, visited the set of The Late Show with Steve Colbert to promote her film, Heart of a Dog, and while she was there, she performed a concert for an audience of six dogs. The dogs’ interest in the performance seemed to range in from rapt to distracted to indifferent. Anderson’s film, which will air on HBO on April 25, focuses on the transition into the afterlife as written about in the Tibetan Book of the Dead and features Anderson’s late husban

Sammie as a puppy before he went missing Nikki and Simon had welcomed Billie into their home after

Do Dog Owners or Cat Owners Take More Pet Photos?

How many pictures and videos do you take of your pet? According to new research, dog owners and cat owners differ in their digital habits.   Cat owners take more photos.

Man Writes Heartbreaking Essay about His Dog’s Death

The pain of losing a pet is something many owners can relate to. In fact, a recent survey of pet owners found that 30 percent of pet owners felt grief for six months following the death of a pet.

See What Happens When a Real Dog Meets a Robo Dog

Last year, the Google-owned Boston Dynamics introduced Spot, a 160-pound robo dog. The creation was tested by the US Marine Corps to determine if using robotic models of dogs can be as efficient at military tasks as live K9s. The military ruled that the dogs aren’t yet ready, so in the meantime, Boston Dynamics is having a little fun with the remote-control robot. This week, Spot got to have a play date with Alex, the dog owned by Android’s co-founder Andy Rubin. See the two interact here:

While at work, Maximus has a pretty big job to do. The two-year-old German Shepherd Dog works in patrol and drug detection as the K9 partner of Vermont State Trooper Nicholas Arlington. It’s dangerous work, but last October, he was given a free stab- and bullet-proof vest from Vested Interest in K9s, a nonprofit committed to outfitting working dogs with ballistic vests. Although his job is very serious, Maximus and Arlington enjoy giving the public a glimpse into the life of a police dog throu

[Video]: See an Avalanche Dog in Action

For avalanche dogs, snow days are work days. Take for instance Mason, the youngest Golden Retriever working in seach and rescue at Copper Mountain in Colorado. “In an avalanche, time is of the essence for saving somebody,” Mason’s handler Chris Gray tells Camping with Dogs, which produced a video on the team (see a sneak peek below—click here for the full video). In the event of an avalanche, the nearest dog team is loaded into a helicopter and rushed to the scene.
