Dogs have long been touted as being man’s best friend. Aside from companionship, dogs can save human lives, depending on their training, by sniffing out bombs, transporting medicine (remember Balto?), and helping the blind ‘see.’ Given all the joy and help that dogs give humans, it’s only fitting that humans give back to them as well.

Take the case of Naki’o, an adorable dog that lost all four paws to frostbite when abandoned as a puppy.

He did fine as a pup, but began having difficulty supporting his weight as he grew bigger. So his loving owner, Christie Pace, searched for alternatives to help Naki’o out. She explained: “I have a soft spot for rescue animals in general. I was looking for something different, unique. I wanted to make more of a difference than a regular dog. I knew I could help him out.”

Pace set up a fundraiser to get prosthetics for Naki’o from OrthoPets. But when the animal hospital saw how well the pup did with his initial fittings, they set him up with a complete set of prosthetics, free of charge.

I guess you could say they have a heart of gold. Oh, and a little bit of trivia: Naki’o is the world’s first ever dog to be outfitted with custom prosthetics on all four legs!

We know you pet owners may find it difficult to leave your furry little friend at home while you’re at work all day, making it nearly impossible to keep them from being bored while you’re gone. But DirecTV will soon offer relief to you dog owners as they’ll soon be broadcasting television programming specifically for dogs.

DirecTV will begin offering DogTV for an additional $5.99 a month in the Q3 2013 which will broadcast content specifically aimed at canines and includes scenes that may or may not include animals, animation sequences and a variety of moving objects. Keeping your dog relaxed is also important, which is why relaxation segments will also air which show sleeping dogs as well as nature scenes with soothing music playing in the background.

DogTV is already available as Cox customers in California can already subscribe to the channel for an additional $4.99 a month. Having the channel roll out on DirecTV means a much broader audience will be able to keep their canines entertained while you’re living the good life.

Remember that clever USB hub and drive combo that looked like a pig and her piglets? At the time, it was just a design concept, and now it’s been made real. As a matter of fact, we’re getting a whole series of mama animals and their younglings in USB form.

In addition to the piggies, cat lovers and dog lovers will be able to grab their own precious little teat-suckling USB families to put on their desks.

Each little critter has a slot for a microSD card inside of it, so you can put as much or as little storage as you want in each one’s milkhole.

The PigChum, DogChum and CatChum drives are being made by Clooci, from the same guy behind the original design. The pig version will be available on March 1 (National Pig Day, of course), while the cat and dog will be available on July 6 (the slightly less appropriate National Kissing Day.) They’ll sell for 19.99 (~$31 USD), but remember that doesn’t include any memory cards.
