If dogs can do everything, including driving a car…why would ANYONE want to mistreat them?!?!?!

The New Zealand SPCA in Auckland wants to use the old adage - anything you can do, a dog can do better CUTER - by teaching a band of super ADORBz pups how to drive.

And no, we don't mean toy cars or anything like that…we mean REAL, METAL, COLOSSAL CARS!

So, how are they going to do it?

Cats are divas and divas need to look GORGEOUS at all times.

But what if your cat goes a little cuckoo and keeps licking itself?

A cat owner has that predicament:

My cat has licked all the hair off the places she can reach - tail, back legs, belly, etc. Over the months that it escalated we moved, she started getting to go outside, we got a second cat who tortures her, and she was put on a strict diet.

So is it allergies, anxiety, or something else? Why is she going crazy with the licking?

Thankfully, ASPCA's Dr. Jennifer Lu is on the case!

Here's what she has to say on a kitty's loco licking:

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a big problem with Michael Vick owning another dog.

The quarterback chatted up Piers Morgan and once the host brought up the fact that his ban on owning dogs had ended, Vick said another dog may be in his future.

For his kids. But the ASPCA ain't buying it.
