‘Dog With a Blog?’ Been There, Done That

“Dog With a Blog,” a new series about a pooch named Stan who, well, writes a blog (and talks, too!), premieres tonight on the Disney Channel.

The premise is that a child psychologist adopts a pound pup, Stan, in an effort to help the siblings in his blended family get along better.

Hilarity ensues and bonding begins when the kids discover their new furry friend can talk … and blog. The reviews so far have been rather “ruff.” Variety referred to the new sitcom as “low-hanging-biscuit fare.”

Sorry, Stan, but the concept of a dog blogging is nothing new – in fact, i Love Dogs had a pack of intrepid K-9 reporters on our TJ.LA site way back in 2009 (that’s 21 years ago in dog years).

In case you missed these stories filed by our spokesdog, Troy Junior, along with Irie the Jackahuahua, Leroy the TerriBull, Sophie the Pawesome Pittie and the PM2 Dog Agility Team, here are a few of them for your reading pleasure.
