Cooking with Dog

Cooking with Dog is a Japanese cooking show web series. It premiered on YouTube on September 9, 2007. The show features a Japanese woman known only as “Chef” who prepares the featured dish of the episode while her toy poodle Francis (via voiceover) narrates the process. While Chef speaks in Japanese, Francis narrates the episodes in English, a decision designed to expand the show’s audience. Though initially focusing on Japanese cuisine, the show later expanded to include cuisine from other regions. New episodes were uploaded each Friday, before switching to a different release structure in early 2017. Despite the show’s popularity and public appearances by Chef, the identities of both Chef and the show’s producer are intentionally undisclosed out of privacy concerns. Over time, the show has increased in popularity, going from a low budget, low production value channel to gaining a cult following and having over 1.4 million channel subscribers. Reviews have attributed the show’s popularity to its simplicity, granular step-by-step approach to cooking, and Francis and Chef’s pleasant, anxiety-free approach. The show is among YouTube’s 10 most subscribed cooking and food channels and has garnered positive attention, public appearances, and awards. In 2015, the show’s popularity resulted in a spinoff web series called Go! Francis!, where a stuffed toy version of Francis travels throughout Japan discussing aspects of Japanese food culture, visiting places of culinary interest, and interviewing professionals in the food industry. The web series is also hosted on the same YouTube channel as Cooking with Dog. Francis died in late 2016, prompting an eventual announcement that the show would no longer continue to produce regular content, but would instead release occasional new episodes. see more at Wikipedia Check More at https://htm101.com/track.php?c=cmlkPTgyMDQ1OCZhaWQ9NjIyNTgxODI

Something So Cool Happened When A Car Went Speeding Past These Dogs

We could go on for days about all of the characteristics that make dogs so incredible, since they’re loyal, they’re loving, and they’re hilarious. There’s a reason why they’re known as man’s best friend, and if you have a dog in your family, you know that there’s nothing they wouldn’t do to make their humans happy.

But did you know that they’re just as dedicated to their fellow canines as they are to us? Just ask this dog. While these two pups were out walking one day, the bigger one saved its smaller pal from meeting a heartbreaking fate.

It’s not like we needed further proof that dogs are the best, but footage like this certainly doesn’t hurt! It seems like there’s nothing they can’t do when their instincts kick in.

Jake Was Badly Burned In A Fire As A Pup, But His Story Is So Inspiring

Not many people would even consider abandoning a family member after they were caught in a house fire.

But Jake’s family did just that.

When firefighters managed to pull the tiny pup from the flames, he had already suffered bad burns. His family took the poor boy to the vet…where they promptly abandoned him. But that’s not where his story ends.

Jake was abandoned after a fire left him badly burned.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

He was estimated to be only a few weeks old at the time.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

After weeks of rehab, Jake made a full recovery. Sadly, though, his scars from the fire remained.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

Fortunately for Jake, the firefighter who rescued him took him under his wing and adopted him.

My Hero/My Daddy

Posted by Jakes Page on Wednesday, September 16, 2015

var OX_ads = OX_ads || []; OX_ads.push({ slot_id: “537251602_56eb95b5b8ad1”, auid: “537251602” });

Since then, he’s been hanging out at the firehouse with his new owner.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

He’s even become the official mascot of the department, traveling around the city with firefighters when they give fire safety lectures at schools.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

He was also officially sworn in by the city as a member of the department.

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

Jake plans to become a therapy dog to continue his helping ways!

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

When Running Through A Field, This Dog Does The Funniest Thing. He’s A Kangaroo!

Everyone has their own quirks…and that goes for dogs as well. Some have squeaky barks while others may not bark at all. For this greyhound in the country, though, his quirk is beyond adorable. When he needs to run through a field, he doesn’t just run. Instead, he hops like a dog-kangaroo hybrid.

This Corgi Is All Of Us When We’re Trying So Hard…But Just. Can’t. Make It.

I like to pretend that I know what I’m doing 99.9 percent of the time, but behind the scenes, I’m a total hot mess.

Don’t get me wrong, I always try my best and approach things with a positive mindset, but sometimes reality sets in and I fall flat on my face. What can I say? I’m human. We’re only midway through the week and although I can see rest and relaxation at the end of the tunnel, the struggle is REAL, my friends.

Let me be the first to admit that I can relate to this corgi pup on a spiritual level.

Feel the same way? No need to throw a temper tantrum. You’ve got this!

Run like your life depends on it. There are only two more days ’til the weekend.

Little Dog Passes Out From Overwhelming Joy When Reunited With This Girl.

Anyone who thinks dogs don’t have feelings must not know many dogs. Casey the Schnauzer was away from her momma who was living abroad for two years. When the young woman came home… Casey just couldn’t handle all of the happy. The little dog was so filled with joy, she actually fainted. This is the kind of welcome home you’d never, ever forget. (To be fair on Casey though, that is like 14 years in dog years, a long time to be away from a loved one.)

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp03AorAWLY?rel=0]
(Source: Rebecca Ehalt) For those worried or wondering, Casey was taken to the vet soon after this was filmed. The vet watched the video and gave the Schnauzer a check-up. Everything is fine with her. Her fainting spell was not caused by any medical disorder… just pure joy. Share Casey’s epic reaction with others. You can’t watch this without smiling.

This Is What A Dog Fetus Looks Like When It’s In The Womb

Let’s face it — puppies may be the greatest thing about life.

It’s difficult to deny how amazing they make us feel. (After all, there are studies that prove interacting with puppies can lower your blood pressure and improve your overall health.) But did you know what puppies looked like before they were all cuddly and awesome?

Me, neither. This is absolutely fascinating.

It may not be covered in soft, soft fur yet, but this little in-utero pup is still adorable in his own way.
