Unexpectedly Employable Animals
Seeing-eye dogs, police dogs, and cutting horses: they have nothing on these unexpected employable animals. Some animals have very dangerous jobs. Well, certainly more dangerous than mine!
Since the late 1950s the U.S. military’s Marine Mammal Program has been working with dolphins and sea lions to see if they could be employed for the purpose of national security.
The dolphin’s echolocation and high intelligence make them ideal in detecting mines, patrolling harbours, guarding boats against unwanted underwater incursions and aid in the retrieval of lost equipment.

Puppy Can't Roll Over
This poor little one has rolled over and can’t get up. He looks like a poor little tortoise on his back. I hope his parents don’t teach him to “roll over.”

Family Uses Pee To Attract Lost Dog
A family in Bristol has decided to take an unusual approach to getting their lost dog back -by spraying their urine around their neighborhood. An animal behaviorist gave them the idea.
Of course, my first suggestion might be putting up lost dog posters and checking the local shelter, but I’m no animal behavior expert.

Tongues Are Gross
There’s been an abundance of cute on the web, particularly lately. At least one site aims to counter this movement, and that is Ugly Overload. I’ve been waiting for a great post to share, and this quick collection of tongues is just what the doctor ordered…although, I have to say, I still find the giraffe tongue to be quite cute.
