New York walkies: Kristen Stewart takes Bear, the rescue dog she shares with boyfriend Robert Pattinson, out for a walk in New York's East Village


Being the pet of a famous movie star may have its perks, but being left behind while your owner travels the world isn't one of them.

Luckily for Robert Pattinson's dog Bear his owner's girlfriend Kristen Stewart is happy to take over walking duties when he isn't there.

With Pattinson was in London promoting Water For Elephants, Kirsten took the reigns as Bear's carer.


Leading the way: Bear and Kristen head out onto the street for their blustery walk


Dressed in skinny jeans, Converse trainers and a grey T-shirt, Kristen, 21, and her canine companion braved the wind and rain as they made their way across New York's East Village.

Clutching his blue lead, Kristen was careful to keep a tight hold on Bear as they set out across the city together.

Pattinson found Bear in an animal shelter while shooting Breaking Dawn in the Baton Rouge area of Louisiana.


Undeterred: Kristen and Bear don't let the New York weather stop them from heading out as they leave The Bowery Hotel on the Lower East Side


The dog was originally called Yogi Bear, but Pattinson and Kristen decided to shorten his name to Bear after Rob admitted he thought Yogi was 'a bit much.'

Kristen, and her canine companion, have been staying at one of the actress's favourite New York hotels, The Bowery, on the Lower East Side of the city.

Meanwhile, the Twilight actress is set to welcome a new man into her life after it was announced today that British actor, Sam Claflin, has been cast alongside her in Snow White and the Huntsman.

Outfoxed: 20 firefighters pull free Chester the dog after he trapped himself chasing a vixen

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Help! Chester the West Highland terrier was trapped under a footbridge after chasing a fox - and unsuccessfully catch it


Trapped and looking helplessly out from a gap in a footbridge, you would hope that Chester will think long and hard about whether it is worth it before chasing a fox again.

The West Highland terrier was on a walk along the River Arun in West Sussex with his owner Barry Rice yesterday when he bolted off to chase the wild animal - and he was totally outfoxed.


The vixen was chased into a tight hole and Chester squeezed through a nine-inch gap between under the Shoreham footbridge.


Rescue team: Some 20 firefighters eventually got the dog from under the bridge over the River Arun


And while the fox escaped Chester suddenly realised that he could not get back out of the tiny gap

A team of about 20 firefighters spent hours trying to free him.

They eventually cut through the bridge after gaining permission from the county council. And the ordeal seemed to wear out the dog.


Daft dog: A fireman waits in a dingy underneath the bridge, while one of his colleagues attempts to coax Chester out


Mr Rice said afterwards: 'Chester's fast asleep on my tummy!

'I owe those boys a big favour. They had everything out to rescue him.'

Let's hope Chester thinks twice before chasing another fox.

Don't PUSS it: A cat takes matters into its own paws after a pesky dog goes a step too far

By MATT BLAKE

Mog-hamed Ali: The patient puss has been nicknamed Tyson after he was filmed throwing a knockout punch at a pesky dog as the pair grappled over a cushion


You've heard of a Boxer dog... but this pugnacious puss could go 12 rounds with even the toughest of hounds.

The cat has been nicknamed Tyson after he was filmed throwing a knockout punch at a pesky dog as the pair grappled over a cushion.

The 25-second clip shows Tyson preparing for a nap on his favourite spot when his Japanese owner's dog begins to play.


Patient puss: At first Tyson appears only mildly cheesed off as the mut nudges him with his nose and nibbles his ear


At first Tyson appears only mildly cheesed off as the mutt nudges him with his nose and nibbles his ear.

In a bid to stop the annoying pooch, Tyson issues a couple of warning blows across his wrinkly face.

But the dog is hellbent on having the last say and issues a yelp of protest into Tyson's ear.

The rage descends and the irate grey-and-white cat throws an almighty left jab straight onto the chin of the unsuspecting canine, sending him flying into a heap on the floor.

Tyson stands triumphantly over the felled mutt, who gives his unlikely assailant a pathetic kick and defeated bark before swooning back onto his four paws.

The heroic cat has now become an internet sensation since the clip was posted on YouTube after being shown on a Japanese television show and has had over 37,000 hits.

Cat lovers will probably just revel in the sight of seeing a cat dole out some serious punishment to an animal much bigger than itself.

Just yesterday MailOnline revealed a similar video of a cat dishing out punishment to a much larger dog after it nudged it with its nose.

The furry fists of fury! Raging cat pounds dog with a stunning flurry of punches

By MIKE O'BRIEN

Don't touch me: The cat shows its displeasure after the dog gently nudges it once with its nose


They say you're either a cat lover or a dog lover - but this amazing film should appeal to both, for very different reasons.

The extraordinary clip shows a cat going nuts after the dog gently nudges it with its nose.

Dog lovers will admire the restraint the canine assault victim shows.

And they're sure to enjoy the 'awww' factor from the sad, pitiful look on its face after taking a pounding.

Cat lovers will probably just revel in the sight of seeing a cat dole out some serious punishment to an animal much bigger than itself.

In the video the cat is sitting quietly looking out of a closed door.


And that! The dog is taken by surprise as the cat swings in for a second time


The curious yet docile dog simply wants to know what's going on.

After getting nudged once near its rear end, the cat flies into a rage.

The feline fighter delivers 13 left hooks straight to the face in quick succession, before following up with a right-left-right combination that would make any pugilist proud.


Pow! The dog takes one on the chin as the cat delivers 13 blows in quick succession


Wow! Not content with single punches, the cat goes for a two-pawed attack


The dog soaks up the punishment with little reaction.

Whether the dog was being a perfect gentlemen (or lady) by merely letting the other animal let off some steam, or whether the dog was genuinely dazed by the onslaught, we will never know.

The video was burning up YouTube on Wednesday, getting nearly 120,000 views in four days. It comes complete with its own menacing soundtrack.

Back in his owner's arms, the tsunami dog who survived three weeks at sea on wrecked house

Back where she belongs: The plucky dog was finally reunited with her owner, who alerted police after spotting her on TV


The lucky dog rescued from a roof drifting off Japanese coast for three weeks after the tsunami has finally been reunited with her owner.

Members of the Japan Coast Guard spotted the stricken pet - who had drifted nearly 2km offshore - during an aerial search of the area.

The two-year-old dog, called Ban, had an emotional reunion with her female owner after the woman spotted her on television.

Ban had survived for three weeks after the tsunami when coastguards spotted her while searching at sea for human survivors.

She was found drifting some 1.8km (1.1 miles) off Kesennuma, Miyagi prefecture, one of the Japanese areas hit worst by the disaster.

Local television showed showed pictures of the dog scampering around the roof of the house before it disappeared inside through a hole in the roof.


The emotional reunion came after the dog survived for three weeks on its own out at sea


It is thought the roof had become detached and washed out to sea by receding waters from the tsunami, which struck northeast Japan on March 11.

Her owner recognised the dog on TV and alerted authorities, who reunited woman and pet yesterday.

The pair were reunited at an animal care centre where the dog was being looked after.
The dog's owner, a woman who did not wish to be named, said: 'We'll never let go of her.


Against all odds: The dog appears to have survived by clinging to a house that had been swept away by the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck on March 11


'I saw the rescue on the news, and knew it was her. I knew her right away, from her face.'

Toshiro Suzuki, head of the animal shelter, said: 'I'm happy for the reunion, after they were separated by the disaster.'

'BATMUPPET FOREVER' Movie Poster is Two-Facerrific!

Thanks to artist CCZ at Worth1000 for this Batman Forever/Muppet Mashup movie poster.  It is utterly hilarious, especially Fozzie (and Animal) as Two-Face.  You can tell this great mashup has been around for a while but  it is definitely worthy of a second look.

Fear and Loathing in Sesame Street

Hard not like Hunter S. Thompson.  He is one of the craziest son-of-a-bitch to walk this planet.  Gfest always enjoys a shout out to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.  I mean any book that starts out, "We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive...”  is a damn good read.

I can see Gonzo and animal as the main characters of a new Sesame Street full length feature.  They re-did Treasure Island for god's sake.
