Down through the ages, man’s best friend has often filled the role of ’sidekick,’ whether it be the family dog, a guard dog or a member of a police squad’s K-9 Unit. But, most recently that term took on a more literal meaning. In a new initiative that includes sidecars, doggles (doggie goggles) and road trips, ’sidecar dogs’ are becoming the new rage.

As the whole world learned of the devastating terrorist attacks inflicted on the Charlie Hebdo’s office in Paris, little was reported about the affects on one lone canine. Actually it wasn’t until January 16 that France’s Le Monde newspaper released a very heart-warming story of an unreported survivor of the shootings.

This photo of a portly possum in Australia has been circulating on the internet for almost three years now. Reportedly this little marsupial had broken into a bakery and eaten the pastries until he could no longer move. It is a very cute photo with one major issue -- it may not be the real thing.

In the category of things you never thought you'd see -- fish receiving glass eyes so that the other fish would stop picking on them.

Stray Cat Saves Baby Abandoned On A Frigid Russian Winter Night

by Creature Features

Russia is known for its frigid winter weather when frosty nights aren't fit for man nor beast. Babies and cats, on the other hand, can make a go of things if they work together to keep one another warm. Such was the case one sub-zero night when someone abandoned an infant in a box frequented by Masha, a long-haired local stray cat from Obninsk, Russia.

Rhinos Stage The Great Escape

by Laurie Kay Olson

Three female white rhinoceroses at the Ramat Gan Safari Park in Israel decided to begin the New Year by making a bid for freedom when no one was looking. At about 6 a.m. on January 1st, Rhianna, Keren Peles, and Karnivala chose to make a run for it when they found two gates to their enclosure left open.

Some humans seek out the Himalayas as a spiritual retreat - some for communing with nature - others for trekking to the highest peaks — but none I think would equate those majestic mountains to an amusement park ride. Additionally, either would migratory birds. But there is a rare breed known as the bar-headed geese (Anser inducus) — who while I’m sure have never been to Disney World — use the Himalayan Mountains. . .

Anyone who knows cats knows that once a cat finds a place that it likes you will be hard pressed to change its mind. Such is the case with Mango, a gray tabby cat in Tiverton, Devon, England. While he has a proper home and someone to care for him, he likes to spend his days hanging out at his local Tesco grocery store. There he greets customers, checks on inventory, and naps.
