A man was recently spotted on a crowded 4 train selling month old puppies out of a bag. The Chihuahuas were being hawked for $250 to $300, depending on if they were male or female, and the salesman notes that this is a cheap price because they usually go for 600 bucks.

It's super cute and super freaky at the same time: Retired Canadian police officer James Symington received five puppies cloned from his beloved German Shepherd, Trakr, who died two months ago. Last year, Symington, who now lives in Los Angeles, won a contest from BioArts International which asked for essays on the "most cloneworthy" dog.
