Muzzle gives your dog instant duckface
Contributor
Man, it’s not easy being a dog these days. If you misbehave, you might have to wear a muzzle. If you’re a misbehaving dog in Japan, this muzzle might be in the form of duck lips. Instant duckface!

Jimmy Stewart reads a poem about his dog
Reader Find
It’s hard to explain to someone who’s never had a pet about the importance of a dog’s life and how they teach many of us how to express emotions in our own lives. To think we live in a world where humans raise dogs to fight and kill is pretty tragic. But fighting and killing [...]

Contributor
Barking lots … erm, we mean parking lots, for dogs? They now exist in Germany’s IKEA outlets as rectangular astro-turf lawns set aside for dog owners to park their dogs while they shop. Looks rather cosy, too.

Dogs: collage art by Peter Clark
Reader Find
Collages are cool and dogs are cute; combine them both and you will just love Peter Clark’s series of collages called, wait for it, Dogs. With his comprehensive collection of papers as his palette, he makes use of his wide range of colored, patterned or textured written or worn papers to create vibrant collages without the use of paint. He shades with density of print and creates substance and movement with lines plucked from old maps and manuscripts. Each piece is done so well with detail.

In May, a night club for pampered pooches is opening in the Financial District of Manhattan, enabling owners to drop off their dogs for ‘homemade meals, holistic mud spa thingimajiggers, and possibly even a disco dance club’. Did anyone mention recession?

Dogs as typefaces
Reader Find
Dogs have finally graduated from unwilling fashion victims. You know the ones: strolling the streets with their pink booties, rhinestone collars and ever-popular powder blue t shirts. Now they can stand as distinguished animals, joining the linguistic world and representing a font type. Eurostyle is my favorite. Woof!

Hipster Puppies
Reader Find
Damn hipster dogs coming in here with their parents’ money, acting like they own the place, not respecting us real dogs who know what real culture and art are. We were here first and we knew about all those bands before they did.

Dogs dressed up for Halloween
Reader Find
Why don’t dogs like Halloween? This is the title of an article on the Urlesque website, which recently featured the craziest costumes of the canine world for Halloween night. Dogs with manes, a dog being bitten by a crocodile, the All-American football player, the giraffe, the tarantula, and the shrimp are just some of the pseudo-artistic expressions that these poor animals are subjected to.

Creative Grooming

Making your poodle into a miniature parade float may seem cruel and unusual, but my hunch is that the pups love it. What other breed can be shaved into the shape of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? It’s all about the poodle pride.

We asked Melbourne-based artist Justin Williams to tell us about his work: ‘I am always interested in the way humans and animals relate to each other, and the similarities we share, as well as the major differences. This work was inspired by my girlfriend’s dog, and a photo of her as a child, joining the two together as if they both cant make decisions without the other’.
