Share your music with friends (or your pets) by plugging your MP3 player into this tiny wooden dog-shaped speaker. Your jack goes right into the dog butt!

Boo is just your average dog who loves chicken, running outside, following his big brother around, and squeaky toys. He also happens to have 1.7 million Facebook fans, enjoys sitting on the laps of celebrities, currently holds the title of “the world’s cutest dog,” and just released his own book with Chronicle Books. Okay, so maybe he’s not your average dog. But he is a total doggy sweetheart and we were beyond thrilled here at Dog Milk to get an interview with Boo, the most adorable internet-phenom ever!

My day job requires me to go to the post office a lot, and on a recent trip I was stoked to see that the US Postal Service has issued a new stamp in commemoration of Owney the Postal Dog. Owney, a terrier mix, used to ride the mail trains back in the late 1800s.

Christopher R. Weingarten is a Brooklyn-based freelance writer whose work can currently be seen in The Village Voice, RollingStone.com, Spin, Revolver, and Nylon. He’s also the creator of my favorite internet-phenomenon-turned-book, Hipster Puppies. What began as a Tumblr blog joke on a lazy Saturday afternoon has recently made it’s way on to the printed page. Hipster Puppies, an outrageously funny photo collection of snarky, impeccably accessorized, and adorable dogs, is a must have book for every dog lover, hipster, dog-loving hipster or hipster-hating person out there

Being the huge fan that I am, I was over-joyed to have had the privilege of interviewing Christopher about his book. From his description of the inspiration behind Hipster Puppies to the reveal of his favorite Hipster Puppy ever, I was (to no surprise) in stitches over his laugh-out-loud responses.

PooPrints, a new and innovative detective-poo agency recently featured in The New York Times, may actually have the answer to kicking unwanted doggy droppings to the curb. Simply put, this service uses powerful DNA technology to find inconsiderate owners who don’t pick up after their dogs when nature calls. According to The Times, approximately two dozen apartment complexes around the country utilize their services. Apartment tenants in these facilities are required to submit a sample of their dog’s saliva, which remains on file and can be used to identify the culprits responsible for those mysterious and offensive piles of poo. So next time you leave home ill-equipped to pick up after your pooch, beware, the poo-police just may be on duty watching you!

Editor’s Note: Please welcome new contributor Katherine to the blog. Katherine wrote and managed the dog blog phetched, and we’re so excited to have her as part of the Dog Milk team.

My husband and I have little voices we’ve developed for our dogs Mingus and Dottie. It’s how our dogs are able to “talk” to themselves, to each other, and to us. I know I can admit that here without judgment as I’m pretty sure around 94.7% of y’all do the exact same thing. Am I right?

Wilfred, a new comedy series premiering on FX tonight, explores what can happen when we allow our canine-inspired imaginings to run wild.

In the live-action comedy, Elijah Wood (ha cha cha!) plays Ryan, a struggling, suicidal young man who befriends Wilfred, his neighbor’s dog. The schtick? Where the rest of the world sees Wilfred as a dog, Ryan — and the viewer — sees a crude, brash Australian man (co-creator Jason Gunn) in a dog suit. RECIPE FOR COMEDY, people. Madcap adventures and hilarity ensue, and with Wilfred’s guidance, Ryan is able to conquer his fears and embrace life, blah blah blah. Whatever. It’s Elijah Wood. DVR is set.

Wilfred airs tonight at 10 PM. You can learn more about the show and check out exclusive videos here.
