I almost put this one in the Pit for the sheer stupidity of a lot of the commentors but here is IMHO a great viral video from the Toronto Humane Society.

It’s a sad world where people just don’t get it.

Heh–my brother joked about starting just such a service back in the nineties. Glad they’re finally turning it into a real fake thing.

Shared on my Facebook. Indirectly directing this at the people on my friends list who were shocked and baffled when their puppies turned into … DOGS of all things!!
