Lucky Dog

November 17, 2008 - 12:12 pm No Comments

An Italian man, Marco Menozzi, didn’t even stop when he hit the poor dog while doing 70mph (112 km/h).

He hit the dog so hard that he embedded him in the grill under the bonnet of the Peugeot 207. Fortunately, the dog managed to cling on until the car eventually stopped. The dog “got away” with a broken leg and bruising.

“He’s a very lucky boy. He was saved because he was hit so hard. Any softer and he would have bounced off the car and been crushed under the wheels,” said a police spokesman.

Police are now looking for a new owner for this cute dog.

Lately it has become a tradition in Canada for people to dress, walk and talk like zombies once a year.

People are doing this for the art and because it´s fun. Participants act like zombies and communicate only the way zombie do.

After the walk they all meet at the beach where some fun activities are organized and executed. :)

Below are some pictures from Zombie Walk in Vancouver 2008.

Bizarre looking piglet

July 26, 2008 - 11:33 am 1 Comment

Feng Changlin and his wife where frightened when they saw one of their newborn piglets.

Mr Changlin says the piglet looks just like a monkey, with two thin lips, a small nose and two big eyes. Its rear legs are also much longer than its forelegs, causing it to jump instead of walk.

Their son likes to play with it and that is why they will keep it.

Check out the picture below.
