Big Dog, Small Dog: Does Your Pet Have a Disproportionately Sized Buddy?

Our black pug Oliver has a hard time with other dogs, partly because we think he doesn't consider himself one.

Our black pug Oliver has a hard time with other dogs, partly because we think he doesn't consider himself one. Our good friends have a big Rhodesian Ridgeback mix named Red, who loves to try to play with Oliver. On a recent vacation in Sonoma, this adorable picture was snapped of the two doggies having a moment. Well, I'm not sure Oliver was quite as into it as Red was. They're pretty cute together, especially because of the huge size differential. While Oliver might not consider himself and Red "friends" per se, does your pet have a disproportionately sized buddy?

HOW Long Until Dinner?

It can be hard to photograph our black pug, since using the flash makes him so shiny and gives him demon red eye, and no flash usually means he looks like a black blob.


It can be hard to photograph our black pug, since using the flash makes him so shiny and gives him demon red eye, and no flash usually means he looks like a black blob. My friend Hannah took this picture, which manages to show that expressive face and those eyes we love so much. She got him to pose by saying his favorite word: dinner. So cruel, but it's a keeper.

Any tips for photographing an all-black pet?

Who's the Squirrel Hog in the Jolie-Pitt Furry Family?

While Brad, Angelina, and the big kids were off touring Budapest, three pooches enjoyed a romp around their home.

While Brad, Angelina, and the big kids were off touring Budapest, three pooches enjoyed a romp around their home. The littlest Pug tries to play keep-away with a plush toy, but none of the other dogs seem to care one way or another.

It looks like one creature from a version of Hide A Squirrel, which would come with one squirrel for each pug and the big Bulldog, too. Maybe that's why the other two don't give chase? Judge for yourself and see more pictures of the smooshies in the gallery below.
