Dog Rescues Tennis Ball from Crevasse
Oliver, a Golden Retriever from the Boston, MA area, has rescued a family of five tennis balls that had fallen into a crevasse that opened up near his house.
“The snow has been so bad here this winter that we’re starting to see a massive ice sheet form in the backyard,” said Oliver’s roommate James McCalla. “It’s dangerous out there – you never know where the ice might split open. It’s three feet deep in most places. Sometimes even three and a half.”
According to McCalla, Oliver noticed that tennis balls at the bottom of one crevasse while out on “walkies.”
“He didn’t even hesitate,” said McCalla. “He just dove right in and rescued the balls. He’s a hero, if you ask me. They’d have been out there until spring if not for Ollie.”
Local media is reporting that the tennis balls are now resting comfortably in Oliver’s doggy bed.

Hedgehog Travelogue Takes Blogging World by Storm
Plenty of hedgehogs travel the world, but few document their exploits with selfies. Biddy is the notable exception.
He’s toured more than 20 U.S. national parks and seen world monuments few would dream of. But he’s really captured the Internet’s attention with his popular website: Biddy’s Hedgehog Travelogue Blog.
“He’s also huge on Instagram,” says Darren Oslo, social media editor for the Washington Post. "Basically, any social network where he can post a selfie in front of a waterfall and brag about the view, he’s popular there.“

Dog Conquers World; Still Feels Empty Inside
Bow to your new master, Putnam the dog. According to reports out of Nepal, the seven-year-old pup has completed his quest to conquer the majority of the known world.
“His claims are legitimate, as far as we can tell,” said United Nations international conquest expert Rasmus Møller. “We’re still doing some checking, but it seems airtight. Legally speaking, I mean. Putnam’s our new overlord.”
But while the dog may now rule over most of the planet, rumors suggest that he’s not as happy as he thought he would be.
“He thought if he took over Earth, he’d be happy,” one advisor told The Fluffington Post on the condition of anonymity. “But as it turns out, world domination wasn’t what was missing from his life. To be honest, I think he might have been happier with a new chew toy or two. Maybe a change to a higher protein kibble.”
