1) Miracle Dog's 60 Mile Car Odyssey

The dog clung to the front of the car for almost 60 miles A dog is recovering after managing to cling to the grille of a car for almost 60 miles. The dog travelled all the way from Coleraine to Belfast, wedged in the front of a Peugeot 306.

The driver thought he had struck something on the dual carriageway outside Coleraine after hearing a thud, but when he saw nothing on the road, he continued unaware of his ' passenger' . It was only when he got out at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast that he heard a barking sound coming from the front bonnet.

After such an ordeal, the dog was understandably grumpy, and this attitude has earned him the nickname Father Jack, in honour of the cantankerous priest in the sitcom Father Ted. As reported by Peter Allen on Radio 5 Live 'Drive' programme.

1a) Another True story - This Time it's a Cat

The Sun newspaper reports the story of a cat named Aslan who fell asleep under a car bonnet in the East Anglian town of Ipswich in the UK. The car's owner and driver, a Mr Rob Hillier, then drove the car some 260 miles to visit his relatives in Maesteg, Mid Glamorgan, Wales. The next day Aslan's cries [surely 'miaows' says Will] were heard and he was found unhurt and returned home. I imagine he travelled more comfortably this time.

2) Buddy the Alsatian Saves His Owner Joe

Chris Trott was on duty answering the emergency phone line, when a call came through from a dog.  Nobody would have blamed her for hanging up, but something about the urgency of the barking and the whimpering made Chris stay on the line.   On checking the incoming phone number Chris realised that the line belonged to Joe Stalnaker, who is known to be susceptible to seizures.

The background to this phone rescue was that Joe had pre-programmed the buttons on his phone to dial 911, so all his dog Buddy had to do was to pick up the phone in his mouth.  One of his teeth was almost certain to hold down one of the keys for 3 seconds and thus trigger the dialling.  (See mock-up of miracle dog with phone to the right).

The very same thing had happened twice before, unfortunately, Joe is prone to seizures as a result of suffering a brain injury while serving in the army.  Buddy arrived aged 8 weeks courtesy of 'Paws With A Cause', which trains miracle dogs like Buddy to help people like Joe.

Surprisingly, Will and Guy learn that there have been other similar cases of miracle dog rescues, for example, Leana Beasley's Rottweiler called Faith summoned help by pressing a speed-dial button with her nose.  Then when the operator answered, Faith barked down the phone so that the emergency services operator realized Leana needed medical assistance.

3) True Dog Story from the 'Rose and Crown'

A dog owner is having to chain up his pet to stop him hopping on to the bus and going to the pub. Gary Kay's terrier Ratty regularly got on the bus on his own to go to the Black Bull pub, in Hull Road, York, England.  Ratty made the trip to the pub, where he was fed sausages by a barmaid, twice a week, reports the York Post.  His outings came to an end when the pub went upmarket and banned animals from the premises.  But now Gary, from Dunnington, York, says Ratty has found a new local - the Rose And Crown Pub, in Lawrence Street.  He believes Ratty has been getting off the bus at the Black Bull on his own, crossing the road and turning up at the Rose and Crown.

'I've had to start chaining him up because, although he can get to the pub on his own he can't get home,' said Gary. [Not an uncommon occurrence say Will and Guy] 'I've no idea how he is doing any of this or how he crosses the road. This dog just has a mind of his own.'

4) If a dog were your teacher you would learn:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride
When it's in your best interest: practice obedience
Stretch before rising
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass
On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree
Never pretend to be something you are not
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk

5) A Funny Dog Story from the Atlanta Daily:

SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good looking girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cosy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm yours. Call (404) 875-6420 and ask for Daisy.

Over 15,000 men found themselves talking to the Atlanta Humane Society about an 8-week old black Labrador retriever dog.

Men are so easy....

Doggy Paddle?

Was there ever a better picture of pure relaxation.

6) Naked woman drops through ceiling

A Russian couple had a narrow escape when their naked neighbour dropped in - through the ceiling.

Rozalia Valiakhmetova had been relaxing in the bath when the floor gave way, dropping her and the bath tub into the flat below.

She said: 'I had just dozed off and then I heard this huge crash and realised what had happened. The bathroom floor just collapsed under the bath and I came crashing through the ceiling of the people below me.

'They seemed as shocked as I was when they saw me lying there naked in the bath in the middle of their living room.'

She was treated at a local hospital for injuries to her leg but otherwise was unhurt.

Local council engineers said the floors in the old apartment block in Solnechnaya in the Surgut district of Russia where Valiakhmetova lived were supported by wood which had rotted over the years.

7) True Dog Story

A dog owner is having to chain up his pet to stop him hopping on to the bus and going to the pub. Gary Kay's terrier Ratty regularly got on the bus on his own to go to the Black Bull pub, in Hull Road, York.  Ratty made the trip to the pub, where he was fed sausages by a barmaid, twice a week, reports the York Post. His outings came to an end when the pub went upmarket and banned animals from the premises. But now Gary, from Dunnington, York, says Ratty has found a new local - the Rose And Crown Pub, in Lawrence Street. He believes Ratty has been getting off the bus at the Black Bull on his own, crossing the road and turning up at the Rose and Crown.

8) Dog Tired

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.

Curious I pinned a note to his collar, 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar, 'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 and he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'

9) Brandy and Coke

Brandy the Chihuahua, the world's smallest dog, has finished growing, and is just a little taller than a coca cola can has been named the world's smallest doggy by the Guinness Book of Records.  Four-year-old Brandy weighs only 2lbs and cannot bark as her lungs are too small. Owner Paulette Keller, of Largo, Florida, told reporters, 'When I saw her I just fell in love with her. With a dog like this you have to be careful. She can't even jump on or off anything because her legs are so tiny.'

Brandy is proving massively popular on TV in the USA, so watch out for her.  As dog's lives go, this has to be one of the best.
