best animal friends

gah

mr tate looks like an ilx britishes

Digging the BAF poetry:

Mable thank the horse that trod on you:
But for that you wouldn't be in the house;
And brought puppies in to your field of view;
What a noble cause for you to espouse.

Now you've to thank Nettle the dog,
For yielding such cuddly puppies;
Caring for the litter often is a slog;
Oh selfless act has brought you glories!

Leave not Mr.Tate - acknowledge his help;
For saving you from the hissing pot,
And made you hear the puppies yelp;
Tell me please is their any one I forgot?

Read Nettle's mind when you find time:
Yes! Deserting her puppies is a crime.

I pondered lonely. I am a hen
I float on high o'er bales and knees,
When all at once I spotted them,
A host, of golden and brown pu-upp-ees;
On farmhouse table, in wicker basket,
I'm mother hen. Clucking. Fantastic.

Meet the real-life Fox & Hound: A fox cub that was rescued from certain death after he fell into a quarry has been nurtured back to health - by a dog. The male cub, named Copper, was rescued three weeks ago by a family who discovered him cold and malnourished at the bottom of a quarry in Portreath, Cornwall. He was handed in to a local fox rescue centre and was put into the care of wildlife expert Gary Zammit. But Gary’s dog Jack, a one-year-old lurcher, took over the nursing duties at the Feadon Farm Wildlife Centre

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nils_Olav_inspection.jpg

Nils Olav is the name which has been given to three successive King Penguins living in Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland who have served as mascot to the Norwegian King's Guard.[1] The current Nils Olav was visited by the Norwegian King's Guard on the 15 August 2008 and awarded a knighthood. The honour was approved by the king of Norway, King Harald V. During the ceremony a crowd of several hundred people joined the 130 guardsmen at the zoo to hear a citation from King Harald the Fifth of Norway read out, which described Nils as a penguin "in every way qualified to receive the honour and dignity of knighthood".[2] Sir Nils also serves as Colonel-in-Chief of the King's Guard.
