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.

Guys have we talked about Jessica the Hippo?

She has been "adopted" by a farmer in S. Africa and does the following:

- drinks coffee twice a day from a giant bottle
- eats her food while hanging out with their dogs
- lets herself into the house and wanders into the kitchen
- sleeps under a pink blanket and cuddles with the dogs

Ellie, a young cavalier King Charles spaniel in England, is almost completely blind. While her owner and a local animal organization are working to raise money for a vision-restoring operation, a German shepherd named Leo has taken matters into his own paws, and is protecting and guiding her.
