A Street Cat Named Bob: A Tale Of Rescue And Redemption

by Laurie Kay Olson

A famous saying from the Talmud says that he who saves a single life saves the entire world. That means that Bob, a stray ginger tabby cat in London, has saved us all. It happened when he met James Bowen, a down and out junkie who had been living rough on the streets -- a different kind of London stray. Bowen claims that it is because of Bob that he has been able to turn his life around -- in other words, save it.

by Arnold Carreiro

No, I’m not joking, and this is easily the weirdest piece of news that I’ve found all year, but domestic shorthair cat Sal Esposito was ordered to attend jury summons in Boston, Massachusetts…

Early this month a baby was abandoned in a park in Birmingham in the U.K. No one was noticing what appeared to be a discarded carrier bag lying by some bushes. No one, that is, except one German shepherd named Jade whose instincts kicked in and she went to check out the mysterious bundle and then would not leave it to return to her owner.

Darwin the monkey caused quite a scene at an IKEA in Canada. Where did he come from? But more importantly, where did he get that stylish jacket?

Back in the 19th century there was a tradition called "telling the bees" that people would do upon the death of someone who kept bees. It is exactly as it sounds. The bees had to be told of the loss. It was an amazing show of respect for the little insects that are so important to human survival as they pollinate many of our food crops and provide us with their honey.

Dogs Driving Cars? The Animal Video of the Day!!!

by John P. Barker

Is it me, or is the concept of dogs driving cars just plain scary? I mean, maybe in a future post-apocalyptic society where human-kind is enslaved by mutated, intelligent dogs--well, I can see the concept. But right now... I'm not too keen on it.

America’s rare “Hogzillas” might be massive feral domesticated swine, but the giant forest hogs of central Africa take the prize as the world’s largest wild pig species. Adult giant forest hogs can weigh up to 600 pounds, and that’s a whole bunch of bacon!

Last Friday London commuters were amazed when a stray ginger tabby walked onto a train on the "Tube." He hopped onto a train to Battersea at the Seven Sisters station. He found himself a seat and settled in for the journey. His fellow commuters stared at him in shock and surprise. After all, it isn't every day that you see a cat riding the subway!

Dog's Bows Wow When Jack Russell Upstages Richard III

by Ron Callari

Mark Rylance might have thought twice about adding his Jack Russell Terrier, Apache to the cast of Richard III on Broadway had he remembered a famous comedian's advice from years past. Although one of W.C. Fields most famous quotes was "never work with animals or children," he secretly like children. Dogs (on the other hand), not so much!
