For example, today, at The NYT, there's "Do Our Dogs Have Something to Tell the World?" and at The Washington Post, there's "This love letter to dogs praises them as 'creatures of commitment.'"
Obviously, they know there are readers who click for every dog. I am not one of those readers, and I won't even click through to get links. Every day, the story is the same: Dogs continue to be dogs.
And, no, there is no equal treatment for cats. A search for "cat" on the WaPo home page came up with nothing, and on the NYT home page, it got "Biden Awards Medal of Freedom to Pope Francis/President Biden, a Catholic, awarded the medal with distinction to the pontiff, to whom he has turned for personal guidance" and "Hams in the Belfry: How a Cash-Poor French Cathedral Fixed Its Organ/A dispute over a project to cure hams in a bell tower underscored the difficulties that churches in France face trying to pay for restorations."

On the internet nobody knows you’re a dog and it’s just you and the other dogs left at NYT and WaPo, Ann…
Wine in the cellar, Hamm's in the refrigerator.
…the u tubers film the renovations to pay for the renovations. ‘I Bought A Church For A Euro. You Won’t Believe What Happened Next!’
I just consulted with my cat regarding which of these to click. I interpreted the response as "don't bother." Calico wisdom is in the driver's seat.
They've also gone all-in on Premier League Football (UK soccer) stories. I hope that the consultants that are driving the Times' coverage focus are earning their high fees.
That poll was unanimous for a while, but then somebody just needed to know more about how someone loves dogs and considers them — THE biggest cliché about dogs — loyal.
I'd like to see some guessing about "Do Our Dogs Have Something to Tell the World?"
My idea was something about world peace like "Can't we all just smell each other's ass and be friends?"
Like nearly everyone else, I clicked on hams as it's the most relevant to concerns that actually exist in the world, but I am curious what they think dogs have to tell us.
I want to know if the Pope told Biden to resign. And not to take bribes.
Ii was about to write “I can’t imagine why anyone would care that the fake Catholic gave a fake award to the fake pope,” but then you gave a reason.
Wishful thinking, given who the current pope is, but it’s something.
(d) None of the above.
"Do Our Dogs Have Something to Tell the World?" seems it'd be along the same lines as that "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" book, except reformatted as clickbait.
Aside from Lassie telling Grandpa Timmie fell down the well, the time I can remember someone seriously thinking a dog spoke to them it did not end well.
Son of Sam.
None seem interesting to me. However, a President giving a medal to a Pope seems the most pathetic of the listed articles.
I vote for none of the above.
None of the above. All crap.
c'mon, isn't there some way the NYT and WaPo can work Trump into these stories? just like democracy, dogs die in darkness.
oh wait, Commander...never mind.
Dogs and other pets are suffering right now in the LA fires, people having to abandon them as they fled or not being able to get to them. Not to be a Janey Raincloud or anything, since that's not what this post is about, but yes dogs have something to tell the world, which is "please don't leave me behind".
I was astounded to see that over 80% of the responses were the same as my own. I am an organist and have a virtual Cavaillé-Coll from Metz in my living room. I’m assuming that most of my fellow Althousian commentariat are not lovers of Dupré and Duruflé but rather ham.

None of the above for me.
I'm more interested in how pelosi made her millions
bidens dementia, how he got rich, what was his families role
what's going on with mcconnell, why is he still there
what's up with kay granger
I want to know about important stuff like why the government I help fund is so disfunctional and corrupt. How about reporting on things like that.
I'm a dog & cat pack owner who loves them, but even I pass them over. It's dopamine click bait pure and simple, but fortunately I also love ham.
Please: No more stories about Joe Biden. Let's get a coat of paint over that stain.
Do Our Dogs Have Something to Tell the World?
Yes. Cats are assholes.
And Epstein Didn't Kill Himself.
Aw, Sally, that's very sad. Clearly the NYT doesn't want put dog stories that break our hearts on the front page. At least a dog you can leash and bring in the car. I don't know what becomes of the cats.

Can't we all just lick our own balls because we can?
I spent the morning watching my dog and her litter of 6 week old pups.
I'm a little biased...
What is better than roses on your piano? Tulips on your organ.
