Delivering Puppies

 Today and today only, the mobile ride hail company is offering users in seven cities the chance to book a puppy playdate in celebration of Animal Planet’s annual Puppy Bowl, whose upcoming 12th edition will see over 80 adoptable dogs face off in a model Super Bowl stadium hours before the big game.

 For a $30 fee, riders in Chicago, Washington D.C., Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and New York can summon the paw-esome troupe for a 15-minute cuddle session via the Uber app. (Clients in New York and D.C. can enter “PUPPYNYC” or “PUPPIESDC” to unlock the special “PUPPIES” option.)

My three dads – my first loves

By
Most of us have one father but Sophie Ellis had three, who were life-giving and life-affirming in different ways. She pays tribute to the wonderful men who made her I turn 30 in June. Among the list of things I feel I can boast about – running a marathon, raising a healthy, happy baby girl, mastering shorthand – the fact that I’ve had three dads feels like a particular privilege.

Embattled Brazilian president tells foreign media she is the innocent victim of a ‘coup’ and will only leave office if voted out by the electorate The Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff , has told journalists in New York there is “no legal foundation” for her impeachment as she took her fight for political survival into the international ring. After losing a lower house vote that puts her just weeks away from being ejected from office, on Friday Rousseff repeated claims that she was the innocent victim of a “coup” and said she would only give up the fight if the electorate voted against her. Rousseff’s appeal to the Guardian and a handful of other foreign news organisations appears to be a last-ditch attempt to win away after losing catastrophically at home.
