Paging David Dyer! Your puppy is on CNN!

by Meg on January 24, 2006

Cnn_5David, your puppy is shown at the beginning of a segment on Cuteness on CNN.com RIGHT NOW! To see it, go to the homepage of CNN, and on the right-hand side is a link called; "Watch: Does cuteness count? Awwwwwwwww … yes" (I did not make that up.)

If you click the link, you’ll see a streaming movie of a segment that appears to have aired on CNN. Also pictured are Chris B.’s pug, Jenny H.’s St. Bernard, Cory and Melinda’s cat, YayHooray’s teacup cats, Sarah S.’s pugs, and K. Akagami’s hamster! All shown with Outkast’s "Hey Ya" playing in the background. Peeps, tell your animals to get their autograph pens out.

And Hello! Homepage of CNN!

Special thanks to Schnilary "Eagle eyes" Nelson for pointing this out.

Congratulations to CuteOverload.com for the nice publicity! :o )

what’s funny is that a few weeks back, after my boyfriend and i discovered this site and were obsessing over every photo, i remembered my theory that cuteness must be somehow advantageous to evolution, because it reminds parents that the animal is vulnerable and they need to protect it. the NEXT day on the new york times website there was an article about just that. he swears i’m secretly a scientist now.

Cute O is taking over the WORRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLD!

Is there a direct link to the video? It’s not there on the front page anymore.

I am surprised at C.O.com for not knowing the difference between a pile of french bulldog puppies and pugs. Sarah S’s puppies are of the french bulldog persuasion and are not pugs. Not all bracycephalic cuteness goes by the same name.

I demand more pug pics for this oversight!

“Is there a direct link to the video? It’s not there on the front page anymore.”
It’s still on the front page, just scroll down under “Watch video”

okay — i thought when these were first posted about that they were determined to be Boston Terriers, not pugs, not frenchies. Am I wrong?

12 ginmega 01.24.06 at 5:17 pm

Alicat, you are so right, they are boston terrier puppies, not frenchies or pugs.

13 Theo 01.24.06 at 6:13 pm

Gabbi — thanks for the video link. “Cute cuticles,” heh.

14 katey 01.24.06 at 9:12 pm

whew, glad we settled that, the puppies were having a ‘dentity crisis and were starting to nip at each other’s ears!

15 dwarf rabbit owner too! 01.24.06 at 9:48 pm

And C O is the 1st one spotlited / spoken of even!
That’s pretty neat! Congrats! They needed to include a bunny pic…Oh well…Thankfully you come through with posting plenty of those!

16 E. Collison 01.24.06 at 10:46 pm

Congrats on being featured!

BTW, the video is now titled “Cuteness Counts.”

(And I agree – where are the bunnies?!)

17 tigerlily 01.24.06 at 11:23 pm

Congrats for the recognition…I have been hooked on this site ever since I first clicked a mouse on it…or, you had me at hello…ohhh groan go fer it! LOL
Oh and Alicat…I think this is like Yogi Berra once said, deja vu all over again..LOL but yes those are indeed Boston Terrier puppies in da bucket.
Hum not I have a question..you all remember the cartoon where the puppy says “Puppy Power”? Do you know what the name of it was? For some reason that phrase just seemed to fit…
PUPPY POWERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

opps sorry for being so redundant…yipes!

20 Andrea 01.25.06 at 12:01 am

Congratulations!!! I totally saw the story on Robin Meade & Company on Headline News at the butt crack of dawn this morning. They showed the froggy kitty, kittens in cups, bucket O’ Botson Terriers, the puppy with the stick, and then some. I’m so proud…sniff sniff. You’re so sweeping the bloggies ;)

21 cairo 01.25.06 at 4:46 am

Awww I hope I can make it someday. Woof woof.

22 Cait 01.25.06 at 4:48 pm

Rats . . . I can’t see it! They don’t have quicktime versions.

23 Angi 01.26.06 at 5:50 am

Okay, that offically pleased me.

I love doggies.

And the baby that fell over at the end. I kind of giggled but felt bad because no one picked him back up.

24 shannon 01.26.06 at 9:41 am

tigerlily:that cartoon was scooby doo. scrappy doo used to say “puppy power!”

25 Amy 01.26.06 at 4:37 pm

I work at CNN, and I suggested your web-site for the story about cuteness, and they used it!
I visit (almost) every day.

26 Silverlotus 01.26.06 at 6:22 pm

Whaaa! That was so much cuteness! And how nice to see CNN playing a cute story instead of a mean story, like about war.

Long live Cute Overload!

27 Arachnae 01.27.06 at 11:00 am

I saw the segment on AC360, and thought it improved the piece by having it intro-ed by the Cutest. Anchor. Ever.

Talk about your cute-overload!

28 Meg 01.28.06 at 8:24 pm

Amy! Thanks for suggesting Cute O to your peeps at CNN! Major thanks! Tell Anderson Cooper he is an unofficial spokesperson for us… (Being so cute and all.)
