TV for your dog?

Have you checked out the new Dog TV channel? It’s made just to keep your dog entertained while you’re away at work or whatever.

Currently available only in San Diego, they are hoping to expand nationwide, as well as to other countries. The current pay-channel price is around $5 a month. There is also a video feed you can pick up online for a $9.99 fee.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
