A kotaku reader went down to his local animal shelter in Long Beach, California, and found this- a kennel sponsored fully by Naughty Dog, the developers behind, most notably, the Uncharted games.

I tend to agree with what the article says- this had no publicity, no news coverage or blog posts. Naughty Dog simply did it for the sake of doing it, not for an excuse to plaster Uncharted 2 at the top of the news stories again- and thats very cool of them.

Reader Christopher was down at his local animal shelter in Long Beach, California recently when he noticed something a little odd.

The kennels there are mostly sponsored by companies to help keep things running, and most of those companies are pet-related. Dog food, cat grooming, that sort of thing.

Except this one, which is sponsored by video game developer Naughty Dog, the team responsible for the Uncharted and Jak & Daxter series.

Know what I like most about this? This is the first I've heard of it. There wasn't a press release issued with pictures of it being built, or a Spike TV segment showing some guy dressed up as Nathan Drake cuddling lost dogs. It's just...something that's been done. Which is the way this kind of business should be done.
