"Good afternoon. I wish to return this Boston terrier which I purchased here yesterday." "I'm sorry, sir. What's wrong with it?" "It's defective." "Defective in what way, sir?" "Well, whenever I touch the dog, it makes an unusual face and it quacks." "It quacks, you say?" "Like a duck. Watch. There, you see?" "Oh, yes! No, it's not defective, sir. That's a feature." "A feature? What do you mean?" "The new model of this breed has that as a feature. Isn't it delightful?" "You mean he's not defective? He's not sick or broken or anything like that?" "No, sir!

Help keep your pooch safe with these tips from the Humane Society of the United States, and veterinarian Ira Roth, director of the Community Practice Clinic at the University of Georgia College of ...
Buggs puppy. StephRSmith/Flickr First came puggles and labradoodles. Then, inexplicably, the goldendoodles. (Can anyone explain how that second 'd' in 'goldendoodle' makes sense?)
