Did you watch Mad Men Mad Dogs last night? Here’s a clever spoof of the opening title sequence — featuring an all-dog cast — done by FSU student, Amanda Taylor…
K9 Warriors!
Wanna meet the top 1% of dogs? Then you should’ve watched 60 Minutes last night because it featured the work of America’s most elite Navy SEALS DOGS — who are trained by ex-SEAL, Mike Ritland. Catch the segment here.
Oh yeah, and Ritland’s also written a book about his military dog training experiences called Trident K9 Warriors: My Tale From the Training Ground to the Battlefield with Elite Navy SEAL Canines. (60 Minutes)

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Mark Haddon’s best-selling 2003 dog novel about a boy with Asperger’s Syndrome who seeks to solve a dog murder in his neighborhood, has taken the stage for a long run in London. And you can check out the rave reviews in The New York Times.

Aimee Mann’s Labrador
Singer-songwriter, Aimee Mann, has a new album out called Charmer — and my favorite track is her new single, Labrador. Although the song seems mostly about human relationships judging by the lyrics (“I’m a labrador/’Cause I come back for more…”), I’m sure there’s a real life dog story behind it. After all, there must be a reason she didn’t call it French Bulldog or Rhodesian Ridgeback!
Check out the Labrador video here with Jon Hamm.
