Look At These Working Dogs of the Day: Apparently this dog couldn’t pay his vet bills, so they put him to work.
(Oh, and, what’s with not giving the second dog a treat? He looks like a good boy to me.)

Hitler painting fetches $53,000 in Slovak auction.
BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AFP) - A 1913 painting by Nazi Germany's dictator Adolf Hitler sold for 32,000 euros (S$52,925) in a Slovak internet auction on Sunday, the Darte auction house said.
The starting price for the painting titled Maritime Nocturno was set at 10,000 euros, while an expert put its value at 25,000 euros, said Darte, which sold the painting in a closed VIP auction.
The mixed-media painting depicts a full moon over a glittering seascape.
'The painting has been offered for sale by an unnamed family of a Slovak painter who probably met Hitler personally when he was struggling to become an artist in Vienna during the early 20th century,' Darte owner Jaroslav Krajnak said earlier.
