Dog Days’ Creature Feature
We all think — make that know — that our dogs are the smartest, funniest, sassiest, most beautiful creatures in the world. To prove it, more and more of us are picking up video recorders to share our dearest with the planet.
The Internet makes it easy to become an international celebrity. Sites like YouTube allow millions to watch Fluffy shred toilet paper or see Spot chase the squirrel up a tree.
If you have a computer, you’ve surely received at least one email with an attachment titled Funniest dog ever sent to you by a friend who wants to share a chuckle.
Since we at Bay Weekly believe that nothing outranks laughter — and this week’s featured creature is the dog — we’ve given you the best of both worlds in this short list of our favorite funny dog videos.
