It’s seems that somehow, this cool, dark, silky-eared hound slipped through the net and missed out on the Dogs’ Ears feature previews. Criminal! Yes, but we’re ready to make amends and are posting a cool ‘on location’ shot of Czarus Kowalski – one of Dogs’ Ears most lovable and loquacious canines.

Short biog: Czarus is one of the few Poles not to love a sausage, and he gets a lot of stick from his friends back home in Slask, Silesia for his vegetarian diet. His libertarian attitude ensures he’s never short of a cause to champion; and his behind-the-scenes power with the key political figures make him a dog to watch closely (just ignore the spin).

Quote of the month: ‘It’s not quite correct, I DO like a sausage, but it is an organically produced soya sausage I prefer…they are remarkable and surprisingly tasty. Pickled cucumbers and the odd gherkin also go down a treat. Other than that, there is always a fish molly or other spicy treat that whets my whistle – I have very exotic tastes. Once I even wrestled a shark, but that is another story…’

Currently on location in Warsaw, you can keep up with Czarus on Twitter. Or better still, keep him busy at the day job and stop by for a chat at www.ica.org.uk/dogsears.

Yeah, now Snoopy had some serious flaps on him and he knew what to do with them!

Nothing like an old classic…

This little fella really knows how to twitch…

The whole DOGS’ EARS family are online, ready to yap with you while you watch us TWITCH AND FLAP!

We thought Naomi had been uncharacteristically quiet of late, but it seems that trip to New York was more eventful than she let on! It seems she might have got her tail in twist – but when we said we needed the ultimate ‘flappability’ we didn’t mean to say she should run round town getting IN a flap. What could have set this feisty pin-up off this time? Will she really have to go to court? And was it one Wooftini too many in Poodle Class that tipped her over the edge? Now, in a SHOCKING EXCLUSIVE she speaks out about the air rage incident on the Dogs’ Ears video chat site that has just GONE LIVE.

Click through to DOGS’ EARS to chat live with NAOMI – NOW!

Max ‘Tha Tapz’ is a very over excited wanna-be tap dancer. Under Victor Bernstein’s guidance he has made it to the third round of Wag-Factor and is tipped to win. A Vancouver born lad, from a modest home, he is set on experiencing everything. His girl is really proud of him, as are his parents. Worried that his cross-dressing habits are getting out of control – he knows that the stage is where he needs to be.

‘I may be small, but W-factor – that’s WOW factor between you and me – ain’t about size! No sir! I got the moves…I got the grooves! I got the flaps, I does the taps!’

Feng Po-Po is a feisty Chihuahua cross and a mile-a-minute chat star who could yap for all Asia in the Beijing Olympics! She is also the Chinese Goddess of Winds, which can sometimes be a little hard to control! Luckily she is only little, so the aromas, while pungent, stay close to the ground.

She is also an interior designer, Feng Shui and Chinese Horoscope Expert, who likes a game of Mah Jong with the ladies. Born in the Year of the Fire Dog, she speaks fluent Mandarin and is really rather clever – she also has a degree in Maths. (Just don’t ask her to tot up the dinner bill – as she is a firm believer that ‘addition is for bean counters!’)

One half of Turkey’s top TV comedy Duo, E & M, Erdem rarely appears alone but since his partners much publicised ‘incident’ in 2007 with Tolga the Terrier and Dachshund Duman, he’s been making a solo name for himself on the stand-up circuit. Only a young orphan himself, he is always bailing his little sister out of trouble, as she gets into all kinds of mischief with her band The Stray Packs.

The most adventurous of the pooches, Omaka is a no-nonsense thrill seeker from Kakaramea, Mt Teranaki, New Zealand. Her competitive nature makes her a challenge to be around but with her beautiful pendulous ears she’ll melt your heart. Watch out for her barbed tongue – it can be vicious if her sugar levels aren’t kept in line with her adrenaline highs.

‘I’m into Extreme Ear Articulation. Pascal Le-Chien de Rimbaud is more of a classicist, that’s great, and although we clashed on some issues for the Dogs’ Ears shoot, for the most part I think I was starting to win him round to my way of thinking. Yeah, I know he’s trained at the Academy, but I told him “PC – you need-ta feel the wind in your ears when you’re skydiving 5,000 feet from a ‘copter straight onto fresh powder with your board strapped to your paws…then you’ll know what Extreme Earism is all about. I said, you gotta jettison Charleville-Mez and scale some real peaks.” He nodded, but I’m not sure he really got it. I guess you can lead an old dog to water but only he can turn it into wine. If you want champagne, well you’ve got to take a few risks. I can’t do that for him. Nobody can.’
