There are a bunch of cute prizes including a personalized leather dog collar and a $100 gift card for dogIDs.com. Check it out and the eight ways you can still enter!
Because I grew up reading Aesop Fables, I had to share this incredible video of a dachshund and a lion.
The lion and the wiener dog have been buddies since they were babies. When the lion was just a cub, he came to the Garold Wayne Interactive Zoological Park in Wynnewood, Okla., with a bone disease that made it hard for him to walk.
Joe Schreibvogel, the zoo's Entertainment Director, who lives on the zoo grounds, took the lion cub into his house and raised him, along with his litter of dachshund puppies. As the video shows, the two learn to get along at an early age. And it's adorable. The two played together, ate together and, now, spend their days together.
I could watch these two buddies all day. Have you ever seen two very different animals become friends like this before?
