In plain words

HTTP Status Dogs is a reference guide that pairs HTTP status codes with dog images. Launched as a weekend project, it helps developers understand web protocol response codes through an unconventional and humorous visual approach. The site combines technical information about hypertext transfer protocol responses with dog photography, making it useful for anyone who needs to quickly look up what different HTTP status codes mean while enjoying lighthearted illustrations.

    Hello there, happy holidays. I've been maintaining for 6 years this Dog API that only returned facts. I recently rewrote the project to make it more flexible [1] and I had a blast doing so. This API has been used by a lot of computer science students, as well as bots and other 3rd party services that integrated in the past. The old endpoint receives around 1,000-1,500 requests per day, which makes me happy. The goal is to extend it to make it more interesting and usable, I collect dog data in my spare time. I'm not looking to monetize it, it's just for the love of education. Feel free to use…
