Who's shooting who?
Here's one cub reporter who could bearly contain herself as she watched a
wildlife photographer at work. As Dean Swartz took pictures of a black
bear family in Minnesota, America, he noticed one juvenile bear watching
him very closely. After about 45 minutes the bear decided to have a go
as well and ambled over to the tripod. Backing off, Dean used another
camera on his shoulder to carry on taking pictures as the animal
investigated his expensive equipment.

The comfort of a furry body
A team of golden retrievers made an 800-mile journey from the Chicago
area to Newtown, Conn., over the weekend to comfort those affected by
the recent school massacre.
Lutheran Church Charities, K-9 Parish Comfort Dogs, deployed about 10 of the canines
Saturday evening for residents who want to pet them while they talk or
pray with the dog's handler, said Tim Hetzner, president of the
Addison-based organization.
“Dogs are non-judgmental. They are loving. They are accepting of
anyone,” Hetzner said. “It creates the atmosphere for people to share.”
When the charities' dogs are not responding to a national tragedy,
they will often visit people in hospitals, nursing homes and parks. Each
dog carries a business card with its name, Facebook page, twitter
account and email so those that meet the canine can keep in touch.
