News Bites: Climbing, Driving, Parole Hearing, Goat, Seals, Dog Park Violence, Bin Lady

Climbing

  • Lucy the dog could have ended up just being another dog that died on the streets of Puerto Rico after being hit by a car, but she was lucky.  She was adopted by some wonderful people.  With their help, a wheelchair, and conditioning similar to the conditioning marathon runners practice, Lucy became the first disabled dog to climb Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.


Driving


Parole Hearing


Goat

  • First there was a male goat and a female dog, who are best friends, wandering loose around a wedding chapel, then there was the threat of  goat rustling charges, then add their friend Lucky, a tripod dog, and you’ve got one of the oddest rescue stories I’ve heard.


Seals

  • In Washington, a dog swims after seals, a boy paddles after the dog, the boy rescues the dog, the seals swim after the boy and dog.


Dog Park Violence

Friday Fun: Simon’s Cat “The Box”

Love this and I love that Simon Tofield is so generous in sharing his work and allows the embedding of his films. (Some animators are hyper stingy about sharing their work.)  And because he’s so generous, I encourage you to check out his shop and maybe give something back.  He’s got a book (& a new one soon) and a shop with calendars and other gifts. (thanks Susan!)
