It's entirely possible there was a little too much media hype about this dog.

But admit it: learning about the White House dog is kind of irresistible. Especially when he's this cute. He's innocent and nonpartisan and busy chewing someone else's shoes.

Prolific lensmaster ThePartyAnimal has put together another multimedia extravaganza of photos, videos, polls, books, sites -- all about the furry little Portuguese Water Dog who is busy capturing the hearts of the American public.

Two takeaways:

1. Don't be shy to pick and choose and gather, as long as you properly attribute and credit and annotate. Weave together a story on your topic, using the best of your topic.

2. This one's more tactical. Notice how ThePartyAnimal punctuates her lens with recommended lenses for reading -- giving the reader a lot of interesting side roads should he want to dig in more. Done right, it's a good way to take one visitor to one of your lenses, and send him on a journey through many more.

Every day (or nearly that) Squidoo's Community & Charity Organizer, Kimberly Dawn Wells, highlights a lens that stands out from the crowd, a lens that is unique in topic, approach, personality, tools or timing. Or, you know, just a lens that made her day.
