Funny Beds That Don't Suck
Pizza, mini-sofa, and race-car beds tested for laughs AND for whether your dog will actually sleep on them.
Novelty beds are usually a trap — adorable in photos, miserable in person. We bought three of the most popular ones and tested them on six different dogs over a month.
