...Curse of the Were-Rabbit, about the attempts of a daffy English inventor and his stoic, smarter dog to rid their home village of a vegetable-ravaging monster. Wallace, the man, scoops up rabbits by the hundreds in his mighty Bun-Vac 6000 ("It blows and sucks"). Gromit, the pooch, gets involved in some World War I--style aerial combat with another canine--a real dogfight. At film's end, the heroine, Lady Tottington, and the dread Were-Rabbit have a housetop confrontation worthy of (i.e., stolen from) King Kong. The whole rollicking adventure zips along a mile a minute...
...Triumph's chronology may have been off - George W. Bush invaded Iraq two years ago - but the pooch's sarcasm was on target. If Air America's ultimate intent was to end war and change administrations - and it was - the network failed.

Her hope is that, with Petlane, everyone else will...
...enough of muddy paw prints on the couch or a mooching pooch prowling under the dining table? Here's a new, high-tech solution from Innotek, based in Garrett, Ind.: pet-proofing Zones, discs the size of smoke detectors that can keep pets out of rooms or away from areas 12 ft. in diameter. Available at innotek.net ($100 for a starter kit), Zones can easily be installed in a doorway or under your favorite lounge chair. As with outdoor invisible fences, dogs wear collars that react when the pets get too close to a Zone. Innotek says the signal...
...hallways of Madison Square Garden, looking to catch naive delegates and savvy celebrities alike for a few minutes of face time. Working the crowd Monday night was Triumph the Insult Comic Dog of “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”. The snarky pooch was missing his trademark cigar, perhaps confiscated by security in strict adherence to the Garden’s no-smoking rules. Triumph’s muse Robert Smigel kept a tight grip on his charge—the puppet never left his arm. Smigel, a longtime “Saturday Night...
