In order to help homeless dogs find home, this multi-talented Budapest, Hungary-based photographer Sarolta Bán has recently started a new project called Help Dogs With Images.

This project began on 7th March of this year with Bán urging her Facebook followers to share a photo of a dog, cat or any other animal who needs a home. The whole purpose of this project is to increase the visibility of abandoned and homeless animals. There's no denying that these not-so-privileged animals who can be found in the dark alleys, live their entire lives under total invisibility.

At the end of the project (i.e., 13th April, 2014), Bán would create a photo montage of all the collected images and would share them on her Facebook page, which would serve as a gift to all the future owners of all those animals featured in the montage. "Sadly, abandoned dogs have really few chances to appear on a photo that will help them get out of the shelter - a photo that stands out from the crowd and 'speaks' to a person. I would really like to help sheltered animals... a good picture is worth a thousand words," she shares.

What's the first thought that comes to your mind when you see a bass player playing his guitar?

Just a bass player doing his thing, right? But UK-based artist Michael M. has noticed a totally different side of bass players playing guitars and that is their love for dogs.

According to Michael, "I noticed that the bass players who use their fingers as opposed to a pick look like they're tickling hairy dogs" and this inspired Michael to Photoshop the pictures of dogs onto the bass players' instruments. Thus, the name Bass Dogs.

Since the day we featured the Cats That Look Like Pin Up Girls on our blog (weren't they just adorable?), I have been busy surfing the internet for more of such adorable Tumblr blogs (yes, we just love Tumblr!).

I was surprised to find out that there is not one, not two but many blogs of such type - cute and adorable.

People post images of their pets dressed up as cartoon characters, caught in the act or just lying there and every image is as cute as the one before that.

These blogs are a real treat for animal lovers and they surely do spill some cuteness all over the computer screen. So I took it upon myself as a very important task to compile a list of ultra-cute blogs and share it with you guys.

We all love dogs, unless you're allergic to them or bitten by one. Just kidding!

The best thing about dogs is that they are always there for you, they listen to you, bark-talk with you, charm you with their innocence and leave behind a mess for you to clean. I know that feeling, I hate it when my dog does something like that, especially when chews my shoes. No matter how many times I tell him not to do that, he'll hit the shoes the moment I turn my back on him. I so want to teach him a lesson but can't help giving up in front of that cute face. And I know this feeling is mutual with almost all dog owners.

Have you ever been let frustrated in an effort to find the right boarding/day-care center for your pets before going on a holiday, as a result of endless searches on numerous websites finally ending up with information on grooming services instead. Embarkly is a new service presently for pets in the US which allows you to search for accommodation for pets according to your location, budget and the kind of services that you are looking for your pet. It has been founded by Nicole DeLeon as a result of her own  vexation while searching for accommodation for her pets.

Yeah, you read that right! A Mexican internet portal called Terra is encouraging dog owners to be decent enough to clean up after their pets, and in order to make that possible they've  come up with an ingenious idea. They want you to collect your dog's poo and in exchange, you will receive free WiFi. The number of minutes of free WiFi depends on the volume of your dog's turd.

No matter how bizarre, it is one hell of a creative way to inspire dog owners to act civilized and clean up that mess. Terra has teamed up with ad agency DDB to create a machine that measures the weight of the poo and accordingly offers free WiFi connection. People can simply drop in the bag full of poo into the machine, and enjoy free Internet.

Stephen Kline is a Florida based artist who draws detailed portraits of dogs using text of their breeds. For instance, he draws the portrait of a dalmatian by writing the name 'dalmatian' repeatedly within the portrait. He has created lithographs of almost every breed and each one of them looks brilliant and realistic. Placing the text just at the right place to give a particular look is not a child's play; demanding full focus and time.

"Stephen Kline, internationally known artist, has created a new technique using lines of language to make fascinating and charming lithographs of your favorite dogs, exotic animals, and Santa. Hand-signed and numbered in editions of 500, this art is created by writing the name of the subject over and over. Kline adds additional words with gold and silver applied pen-and-ink, making each print an original piece of art", as described on his website.


Here's a short interview with Stephen below with some of the examples of his awesome work:
