One TOUGH Dog

Someone had better give this poor guy some extra love when he gets better...



Vets in the UK believe that he was shot twice at close range with a crossbow.

Lovable Beau was handed in to vets in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, by police on Wednesday night. She was found by a member of the public at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in Wakefield, with the devastating injuries.

She was given urgent pain relief when she was handed to shocked staff at the animal hospital.

And she underwent the drastic surgery last week to remove the distinctive bolts.

He added: "In all my years as a vet I have never seen anything like this. It's disgusting. It's one of the most extreme cases of cruelty I have ever encountered. It is easy to tell when dogs are in a horrific amount of pain since they fail to eat and have a high heart rate."

Here he is after his surgery:

Don't Mess With This Circus Elephant

This elephant has been kicked around long enough...

An angry circus elephant in eastern Thailand grabbed a man who had provoked him and then stomped on him until he was fatally injured, police said Saturday.

Surat Kaenthip, a 30-year-old air conditioner repairman, had hit the six-year-old elephant while he was resting in an open field Friday in Rayong province, 90 miles east of Bangkok, said police Lt. Col. Thanit Saeniwong na Ayuddhaya.

"The elephant then grabbed the man's body with his trunk and hurled him on to the ground before stomping on his body," he said.

Rescuers were deterred from helping Surat because the elephant ran toward them in a threatening manner, Thanit said. They eventually succeeded in taking Surat away but he later died in hospital from a cracked skull.

Onlookers then managed to temporally placate the elephant by feeding him bunches of bananas, but he turned angry again, and dented a pickup truck parked nearby before his trainer — who had been away — returned and managed to calm him down, Thanit said.

The sad part is that this poor elephant is probably sick of being couped up and made to do things that he doesn't want to do!

Baby Moose Born On Front Lawn In Anchorage

I got these photos by e-mail today and had to post them because they were way too cute!

This baby Moose is 12 hours old. Apparently, he was born on someones front lawn and the pair stayed for a bit to have a post birth rest...

The mother picked a small quiet neighbor and had her baby in the front yard at 5:30 am. The couple who took the photos were out bike riding when they came upon the pair. The lady across the street from this house told them she saw it being born. They saw them at 5:30 pm. So the little one was 12 hours old.
