Man’s best friend, as we all know, is more than just a pet. Our dogs are members of our family. Sure, we do what we can to make them feel at home (mostly they take it upon themselves to feel that way).

But our efforts will never add up to the extremes celebrities go to in order to have their dogs live up to their status–diamond-crusted collars, solid gold food bowls, Fendi purses for crates.

As writer Stacy for Mental Floss’s blog writes, we send our dogs to daycare and let them get on the furniture, desperately hoping they can’t read the pages of the Us Weekly on the coffee table to see how they fare with the superstar doggie competition.

However, some of us have found ways to ensure an inferiority complex never arises. With the article, “5 Ways Your Dog Could Be Living in the Lap of Luxury,” Mental Floss brings us a few gems from around the dog world that demonstrate the crazy things people do to spoil the fur off their dogs.

Take the doghouse that looks like a Tuscan villa, which goes for $15,000-$20,000 at retail price. Perhaps you could put the $200 canopy dog bed inside that villa to make your pet feel more at home. To see more ways to give your dog the luxury life, read the full article here.

Rachel Christie is quite an accomplished young woman.  Or she was, anyway.  At age 21, not only is she in training for the 2012 London Olympics as a heptathlete, she also found some time on her days off to become the first black winner of the Miss England competition.  However, while she might still represent […]

The 2009 inductees for the National Toy Hall of Fame have been announced, and this year’s class of honorees is the direct opposite of last year’s class.  Where the 2008 version required a lot of imagination to wring the most fun out of them, 2009’s hall of fame class requires a lot less thinking and […]

After 13 years on the police force, Terry Ashe has seen and experienced a lot of crazy things.  However, he hasn’t lost his sense of humor, or his ability to tell an appropriately lurid tale.  When his police cruiser was bitten by an angry alligator (apparently this is a common problem in Florida), he could’ve […]

Any time a baby goes missing, a big manhunt breaks out.  Fortunately for 7-month-old Shannon Lea Dedrick, her story has a happy ending.  Unfortunately for Shannon’s mother, Chrystina Lynn Mercer, and babysitter, Susan Elizabeth Brown, the baby’s happy ending will probably get them both jail time.  Shannon was reported missing on Saturday, and was discovered […]

It was a scene worthy of the great Mark Twain; indeed, it was a crucial moment in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer!  A case of mistaken identity allowed a Brazilian man named Ademir Jorge Goncalves to make an appearance at a very unlikely event:  his own funeral.  It’s like something out of a Coffin Joe […]

The champagne is drying in the locker room, and the Bronx is celebrating this morning as the New York Yankees have claimed their 27th World Series championship as the best team in Major League Baseball.  To the victors go the spoils, like rings, a trophy, and a ticker-tape parade through New York’s Canyon Of Heroes.  […]

There’s one thing that’s fun about slot machines.  You put money into them, lights flash and bells ring, and if you’re lucky, you’re a winner and money clinks noisily into the winnings slot.  Most of the time, you don’t get anything but the lights and noise, but Bill Seebeck hit the jackpot.  Literally and figuratively.  […]
