Labor Day Weekend is the symbolic end of the summer, and people have been going totally bonkers as a result. The news has been filled with execution-style murders, tragedies, domestic violence shadiness, cyclist deaths and butt sniffers. Just this morning, Mayor Bloomberg stated that there were 25 shootings reported in the city last night alone! Everyone needs to take a step back, say "serenity now," and try to peaceably enjoy the rest of the break before reality kicks in on Tuesday. To that end, here's a video of an adorable bulldog getting licked by a cop's horse. Remember: be like the bulldog, enjoy the last summer licking, and play safe kids.
