Grumpy Cat wins about $700,000
A few years ago, Tabatha Bundesen, owner of the pop culture icon “Grumpy Cat,” filed a lawsuit against Grenade Beverage Company after it used the Grumpy Cat likeness in unauthorized advertisements for its products.

Hungry pup starts fire
Surveillance footage of a golden retriever in Southwick, Massachusetts, proved effective when trying to determine the cause of a kitchen stove fire.

A small fire began, and smoke filled the room. Thankfully, fire department officials entered the house not too long after, putting out the fire and pulling the dog from the house, according to HuffPost.
