Well, Noble is all grown up now and has been matched with Sam Farr, a 23 yr. old Marine who was paralyzed in a car accident. Â I can only imagine what it means for someone to be given one of these special dogs—independence, friendship, confidence, more interaction with other people. Â So cool! Â (It looks like Sam will continue to give updates on Noble on the Facebook page.)
Rattle, rattle. Â Hey, this food machine isn’t working. Â Rattle, rattle. Â No really, it’s broken. Â Rattle, rattle. Â Empty. Â Rattle, rattle. Â See?! Â Rattle, rattle.
Dusty the cat has a thing for strangers’ bathing suits, and their shoes, and their gloves, and their toys, and their towels. This determined little dude has stolen about 600 things from neighbors over 3 years. Â Watch the video to the end to see nighttime video of Dusty hauling in his loot.
The mind reels.  Stacey Champion, a woman in Minnesota, got her son in Georgia a puppy for his birthday.  So she put the puppy in a box, taped it up, and dropped the puppy off at the post office to go by Priority Mail. She told workers not to worry if the box made noises, it contained a toy robot.  Fortunately, robots don’t pant—when the box moved & fell off a counter, workers heard panting coming from the box & opened it to find Guess, the puppy.  So, a little boy in Georgia was saved from opening a present of a dead puppy.  Besides not having food, water, or air, Guess would have been put on a unpressurized cargo plane where he would have died in the -40F temperatures.  The cherry on top of this whole story, the woman wanted her money refunded and the dog back after he was discovered.

If you hide your drugs in a sock, don’t teach your dog to play tug of war with a sock. Joel Dobrin found this out the hard way. Â When Dobrin realized he was going to be pulled over by police, he tried to hide the sock where he kept his stash. Â Unfortunately for him, his dog interpreted this as an invitation to play. Â The dog grabbed the sock, won the game of tug-of-war, and then he threw the sock out the window of the truck, where it was found by the police officer. Â Woops!
