    Can you spot the dog? This Halloween trend has pups 'hiding' in stores - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Halloween decorations are looking a little too real this year thanks to a new social media trend that has pups hiding — or at least doing their best to blend in — around hardware stores. As 2026's spooky season kicks off, people are post footage of their pups freezing next to Halloween decorations at stores. At first glance, they actually could pass for a decoration, since they're being extra good boys and staying very still during the video. In one post, a goldendoodle named Elton is posing

    Are cat years the same as 'dog years?' How to tell their human age - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    You can spend decades of your life with your cat, but they aren't the same age as you. Just like calculating how old your dog is in human years, when it comes to calculating your cat's human age, it isn't as simple as a little bit of math. The old wives tale for the human age of a dog is to multiply its age by seven. As for cats, this doesn't apply.

    Dogs don't live as long as people, but they still experience a full lifetime, just on a different timeline. That's why many pet owners like to compare a dog's age to its equivalent in human years. The term "dog years" refers to the idea of translating a dog's age into a human age.

A dog's aging process varies based on factors s

    Thinking of getting a 'teacup' pet? Vets have ethical concerns - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There's no denying that teacup pets are simply adorable, but looking past the puppy-like fur, veterinarians question the ethics of breeding such a small animal. "Teacup" pets are pretty much exactly what they sound like. They're animals that are unusually small, and unlike their breed, only amount to a few pounds in their life. In short, they're animals that fit in a teacup. These pets are cute because they always look like a puppy or kitten, but according to veterinarians, this isn't always a g

    Making fun of a bad picture he drew of his dog, Phil Heckels posted it on Facebook. Little did he know that post would turn into an internet sensation, and people around the world would be begging for him to draw a bad picture of their pet. Heckels is the artist behind the Pet Portraits By Hercule project, where he draws "rubbish" portrait of people's pets in exchange for a donation to charity. He receives tens of thousands of requests in his inbox, but it all started with one particularly bad d
