Dogapedia

At dogapedia, we are always looking for funny and cool videos of dogs. Tonight we stumbled across a really cute super slow motion dog video that we just had to share. What a great advertisement for dog food! Definitely watch it fullscreen and in HD. Enjoy!

I hear a lot of people say they either love dogs and hate cats or vice versa. I’ve always found this somewhat comical as if people feel they’re “betraying” their preferred animal companion if they like the other. Honestly, the animals don’t care! I don’t believe cats and dogs are innately aware of each others existence in the world. I’m sure there is some deep rooted animosity between felines and canines, due to survival instincts in the great African plains and whatnot, but other than that, it’s OK to like both! Your cat won’t lose all respect for you if you secretly enjoy the company of your neighbor’s jack russell terrier. That being said, here is a pretty interesting infographic on dogs and cats that highlights some of their more prominent features and history. We’ll let you be the judge:

A few highlights -

• Dogs are Omnivores (they eat any type of food). Cats are Carnivores (they only eat meat).
• According to some studies, Cat owners are more likely to have a university degree than dog owners, but Dog owners are more likely to be healthier.

The Pedigree Adoption Drive in New Zealand has launched a very cool campaign that uses online facial recognition software to match your photo (or Brad Pitt’s) to a dog’s face. It will perform a dog face match and pair you with a dog up for adoption with similar attributes to yours. I ran it a few times and it certainly got the eyes right! Unfortunately the dogs are apparently all in New Zealand. It would be great if they expanded to an international database in multiple countries. It’s still a lot of fun to play around with.

Have you ever seen a dog surf? How about 60 of them? Every year for the past 6 years, dogs (and their guardians) have gathered at Imperial Beach, California to participate in the Loews Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition. Each dog has a 10 minute time slot where they can ride 2 waves. They are judged on confidence level, length of ride and overall surf ability. This is a must see event for any dog lover.
Thankfully we found a video up on Youtube for you to enjoy the salty water, warm sand, and surfing dogs. Bring on the summer!
