“Rocco, drop it! You’re going to die!” gasped shirtless owner Andrew Kim as he grappled with his pet dog for a half-eaten grape like he was a seasoned survival expert fighting for his limb against a territorial crocodile in the unforgiving desert. “Give me that grape!”

“Drop it!” shrieked Kim as he used as much strength as he could possibly muster to pull the poisoned grape out of the canine’s torturous fangs, much like how an intrepid traveller might fare against the unforgiving jaws of a lethal reptile. “Let me have it!”

At press time, an allergic house guest was sidling away from an over affectionate cat like he was the lead contortionist at a circus.
