Pup Scores Game Winning Goal for Wrong Team
A Boston Terrier named Venus has a terrible night on the pitch yesterday.
The amateur soccer player was ecstatic after he scored a winning goal in the waning seconds of his match – until he looked up and saw his own goal keeper guarding the net he’d just scored on. The own-goal won the game for the opposing team and led fans to boo the puppy as he walked off the field.
“It was embarrassing, for sure,” said Sheila Rizzo, the coach of the pup’s team. “The other lads were pretty upset with him and the fans were merciless. But we all went out for a few beers and it’s water under the bridge. We’re preparing for our next match.”

Child Anthropologist Accepted by Pug Tribe
A young anthropologist named Jackson has been living among a New Jersey tribe of pugs since early 2011 in order to document their complex social interactions.
“It’s really the disguise – an oversized pug face T-shirt – that has endeared him to the family group,” says Dr. Marc Henning, a colleague familiar with Jackson’s research. “They have truly accepted him as one of their own – eating together, sleeping in the same huts. To my knowledge, no one has been able to study this remote group so intimately.”
Jackson is set to publish his first paper in the journal Pug Science this August, but has no intention of returning to civilization.
“He’ll likely remain embedded with the tribe for a few more years,” says Dr. Henning. “The opportunity to collect more data here is too important.”
