Siku, the polar bear cub born in November at a Danish zoo, is a media darling and rising star on YouTube.

STUDY: 3 in 5 Dogs Find College Coursework Exhausting
A new study from renown canine learning specialist Dr. Maria Oberhausen at Pepperdine University, finds that a full 60% of dogs taking college-level obedience courses feel overworked. “The course loads at today’s top-tier obedience schools are just too much for most pups to handle,” said Oberhausen.
