These are the unsuspecting stars of a canine grooming competition in America, where the wackiest-looking pets can win their owners up to $5,000. Animal photographer Ren Netherland has captured the best and the worst designs imaginable. Form more images, click here.

This Week's Campaign

Buenos días,

Antes las noticias que estamos viendo en la prensa, sobre la situación tan complicada de muchas familias canarias, incluso con problemas para el desayuno de los niños en edad escolar,

Cáritas, está recogiendo alimentos en su sede de Avda de Escaleritas, 51 en horario de 09-14 horas, para distribuir en los barrios más desfavorecidos.  

Ellos recogen  la compras si uno mismo acude al centro, pero también si se realiza una compra para que el supermercado la entregue directamente allí.
