dogs

We all have those days when we're just over it. Maybe you're done with the traffic, bad weather or the fact that nothing can go right today. It happens to the best of us, and animals definitely aren't excluded.

Shark Week is here! Shark Week is here! We can finally stop living like it's Shark Week, because it's actually Shark Week! We're not the only one's who are excited by the prospect -- these animals also seem pretty geared up. (We're going to pretend the costumes were their idea, and not their owners.)

Digg co-founder Kevin Rose went to some strange lengths to save his dog this weekend.

If we all didn't love anthropomorphic animals so much, there's no way Disney would be as successful as it is. It turns out there's something better than cartoon animals acting like people though -- real animals acting like people.

Raise your hand if you love trampolines! We sure do, particularly because they're like an instant way to revisit our inner five-year-old. While trampolines are no doubt fun, they can be hilariously painful, too (see: epic fails). If you think about it, though, the trampoline concept is also straight up confusing. That's why these animals are all, "what the heck, man?!"

A Walmart employee's concern for animal rights has gotten her fired.

The world's most popular sport isn't just for humans. In addition to robots, animals are also quite smitten with the sport, perhaps because it doesn't require opposable thumbs. Whatever the reason, one thing's certain -- when animals get their paws on a soccer ball, d'awwwws ensue. Check out these super-cute pictures and GIFs for proof.

Ugly has never been so beautiful.

When they found out their service dogs would not be allowed to dress up for their graduation ceremony, two students hit the woof, er, roof.

We already know pups are super talented, especially when it comes to things like getting all "derpy" in photos or wearing pantyhose. You know-- the usual. But, like us, you might've been totally oblivious to the fact that dogs are also really into the surfing scene.

Attention all Wiener Dog owners!  The Wieneschnitzel Wiener Dog Nationals are coming to Amarillo this weekend and your dog can compete.

There's a reason dogs are called man's best friend.
