Dogs

A dog chewed a toe off of  his drunk, passed out person. Turns out the toe had an undiagnosed bone infection. The dog was his doctor.

A Michigan man says he’s grateful his dog ate most of his toe while he was passed out drunk.

Jerry Douthett of Rockford says Kiko’s action helped uncover an undiagnosed diabetic condition and led to treatment that could save his life.

Radioactive Wild Boars in Germany

It seems that Germany has a problem with an overpopulation of wild boars, and some of them are radioactive.  And I thought I had a problem with javelinas in my yard 🙂

From Fox News:

It sounds like the plot of a B-movie, yet it’s bizarrely true: Radioactive boars are on the loose and thriving in Germany’s forests.

A succession of mild winters has left Germany scrambling to deal with a skyrocketing wild boar population. Tales of swarming beasts rampaging through city streets and attacking citizens occur with alarming regularity.

The problem has been aggravated by the lingering effects of the Chernobyl disaster from twenty-five years ago; a large portion of the wild animals are contaminated by radioactivity.
