FAT cats slim down.
A UK veterinary clinic is hoping
to raise awareness of a growing
obesity problem in pets by
hosting a Pet Fit Club
competition.
The ‘Biggest Loser’ style
competition will involve 20 of the
UK’s fattest cats, dogs and
rabbits, which each either fit into
the category of obese or morbidly
obese.
During the competition, owners
will be guided by specialist vets
on how to get their pets to slim
down, with the overall aim of the
game being to help the group
loose a collective 152kgs.
THERE’S an App for that?
A toddler who fell down a 40-
foot well in China was rescued
with the help of an iPhone.
The boy was discovered down
the well by local villagers near
China’s Mengzi City, who called
rescuers in to his aid.
The rescue was however
hampered when the boy kept
slipping out of the adult-size
harness meant to lift him out of
the well.
After some brain storming the
team sent an iPhone down the
well where it sent images of the
boy’s position to the team,
allowing them to adjust the
harness and lift the boy out
safety, having sustained no major
injuries.
