A US woman has been fined $100
for calling emergency services to
tell them that her dog had
collapsed.
According to a report in the St
Louis Post-Dispatch, Rose Lakey
referred to the Great Dane as her
“daughter” when she called 911
on Easter Sunday.
At a court hearing over charges
of misusing the emergency
hotline she claimed that the word
“daughter” came out accidentally.
Lakey said she and her husband
had just finished walking the huge
dog when it collapsed.
Ironically, paramedics
responding to the call did help get
the dog to an animal hospital, but
the Great Dane died.
PERSONALISED numberplates can
get you into trouble sometimes.
A keen vegetarian who wanted
to show off her non meat-eating
ideals was frustrated when her
request for ILVTOFU was denied
by authorities in Tennessee.
Apparently officials decided that
the vanity plate could be
interpreted to mean “something
other than enjoying bean curd”
and ruled that it was therefore
offensive.
GLOBAL warming has led to some radical hairdressing in the UK, where a pair of rare hairy donkeys have had their fur trimmed for the first time in 17 years. The Baudet du Poitou breed, originally from France, are not normally groomed, with their fur left to grow into long dreadlocks. However a warm summer in Britain has led their owner to lop locks to stop the beasts of burden getting overly hot and bothered.
