Is Dog CEO API (dog.ceo) down?

Context: Community-run dog-photo API (Stanford Dogs dataset) — keyless, CORS open, reliable. Read-only: it hands out image URLs from a fixed pool; nothing can be created or persisted.
What we check: GET https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random — a plain, keyless request from Cloudflare's network with an honest bot UA, exactly what a tutorial curl or an <img> tag experiences. OK = HTTP 2xx/3xx within 8s. No retries, no cookies, no API keys.
Need a tutorial API that answers?
If dog.ceo is failing (or you're tired of finding out mid-demo), Mockbird gives you a seeded, persistent REST API for your tutorial or side project — pick a preset (ecommerce/blog/saas) or import any JSON/CSV as your own dataset; writes persist, CORS on, no signup — free, no signup:
curl https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/m/demo/products/1

<a href="https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/status/dog-ceo"><img src="https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/status/dog-ceo/badge.svg" alt="dog.ceo status"></a>Green = answering plain GETs, red = network-dead, amber = answering but with an error status. Every tracked service has one; there's also a summary badge for all 71.
Get pinged when it goes down
Subscribe any webhook URL — no account needed. One message when dog.ceo goes down, one when it recovers (debounced: two consecutive hourly checks must agree, so a single blip never fires). Slack and Discord incoming-webhook URLs get a formatted message; anything else gets an HMAC-signed JSON POST.
Or from a terminal / CI script:
curl -X POST https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/api/status/watch \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"service": "dog-ceo", "url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T000/B000/XXXX"}'Use "service": "*" to watch all 71 tracked services at once. The response includes an unsubscribe curl; 5 consecutive failed deliveries auto-unsubscribe. No webhook? Omit "url" to get a pollable subscription instead — GET the returned poll URL anytime for the transitions since your last poll. Full API details →
The same checker can watch your own URL: POST /api/status/monitor {"url": "https://api.example.com/health", "notify": "<webhook>"} — every 30 minutes, alert on down + recovery, free, no account. Monitor API →
