Pet on the Street – Does Your Dog Like Kids?

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Dogs, Funny Animal Videos

Here at Paw Nation, we know that every pet has a story, and it's usually a story their owners just love to tell. So we decided to hit the streets to ask pets (and their owners) about everything from how they were adopted to what was the naughtiest thing they've ever done. It's our weekly series, "Pet on the Street. "

Bulldog Gives and Gives, But Cat Only Takes

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Dogs, Cats, Funny Animal Videos

For the never-ending debate in which dog people engage against cat people, the classic argument of those in the dog camp are that their pets are loving and affectionate, while cats are aloof and couldn't care less if their owners are there or not, unless the cats are hungry. Cat owners know that's not true. Cats can be extremely affectionate to their owners, even with full tummies! Just because cats are cool doesn't mean they're snobs.

What's harder to deny is that dogs are more affectionate. Cats have it in them to be loving, but they're rarely as open and generous with their love as their canine rivals. That might be why Fred the bulldog here is having such a tough time getting through to Monkey the cat. It must break Fred's little heart that Monkey won't return his big, slobbery kisses. What he can't know is that her remarkably patient submission shows how, somewhere deep down inside her heart, she really must like him. At least a little bit. She just doesn't show it in the same way.

Puppy Dries Off at 1,000 Floppy Frames Per Second

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Dogs, Funny Animal Pictures

You know, if the subject of this slow-motion video was a scantily-clad woman, it would be terrifically sexy. But this is Paw Nation, and we don't traffic in sexy. Cute and/or fascinating animals is our stock in trade, and this is most definitely cute and fascinating. The video above represents probably just a couple of seconds in real-time footage, but when you slow it down--oh my heavens, just look at all the adorable details you discover! Do you like floppy-eared dogs? Have you ever seen floppiness in all its glory? No you can!

Happy Hyena at Play

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Funny Animal Videos

Hyenas have never been the most popular of animals. Often thought of as cackling, cowardly scavengers, they're usually depicted as sly and unsavory villains in mythology and folklore. Any kid who's seen "The Lion Kid" couldn't be blamed for assuming that hyenas are nasty and dangerous animals to be avoided strictly. They wouldn't be wrong, actually. Hyenas can be very dangerous. But they can also be cute! And why shouldn't they be? They're related in different ways to both cats and dogs. So while they may not gain much of our respect when stealing a kill from a lioness and her cubs, they sure can make us awwwww when trying to cool off or just having fun playing in a pool of water.

Penguin Refuses to Go Back to the Ocean

This article is from Paw Nation

Filed under: Birds

"OK, you guys. I'm sure I don't have to explain our situation in too much detail. We're here to write 'Back to the Ocean, Part VIII,' and we're faced with an audience that has franchise fatigue. 'Back to the Ocean 7: Lampreys on the Loose' was a box-office bomb that's expected to only just barely recoup its modest budget after the international and home-video releases. Now, the studio was screaming for a reboot, but I convinced them to give us one more chance, to let us make one more film in this series and give it the send-off it deserves before anyone takes it out of our hands for a remake or a reboot or a reimagining."

"We have a pretty small budget, but I think we can use that to our advantage. The last few films got off track with special effects and splashy scenes with no emotional core. I think we need to get back to the heart that made the first movies so popular! I think this time, as a twist, instead of telling the story of an animal who gleefully returns to its ocean home, this movie's character... doesn't want to go back to the ocean! We'll fill the plot with lots of hand-wringing and angst and ennui, all that stuff that audiences hate but critics eat up! No one's going to see the movie anyway, but at least in the years to come, movie snobs will say that this last movie is actually the best one we ever made!"

"Oh, and this time, let's just use a penguin again. I don't know how we thought the public could think lampreys were cute. That was really stupid."
