Dog Training. Most of the choices the dogs made for their book reports are logical. The labrador retriever chose "Catch-22." The terrier, who loves to dig, chose "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

Even with the ground-hugging physique, he selected "Wuthering Heights."

Man: 'What the...?!' / 404 ERROR!

"Have you read any of Shakespeare's plays?"

"Everybody wants to meet the author, but nobody wants to read the book."
