I used to follow news photography a lot. I even had a folder where I'd collect/store a bunch of these really powerful images. A lot of it is fairly intense tho as the news tries to be as well. So I stopped in favor of other pursuits. Anyway, I was googling something or ruther and found a series of pics on yahoo news that I found interesting, so I've been coming back. About a week or so ago, I saw pictures of a dog that was part of a group of dogs in Japan maybe? that could smell certain cancers. Just google that and you'll find some crazy stuff. Apparently the dogs can smell the unique proteins in your body from the cancer...just from your breath!
As I side note, I saw a show on bed bugs too that sent waves of disgust through me. Turns out the pest control used a Beagle to find the bugs in the woman's house. Did you know male bed bugs forcefully penetrate the back shell of the female to mate? And they have to be full of blood when they do it! ewwwwww
Well today I found pictures of a cat who lives in a retirement home and apparently this cat can tell when you're time is up. It sounds kinda creepy to me. Crap! the cat is by my door! Nooooo!!!, but seriously upon more reading it sounds like a very unique and touching situation.
I had read about half of 'Animals in Translation' before I stopped, and now that HBO has made a movie about Temple Grandin ( staring Claire Danes) I think I'm going to complete that book. But perhaps this new book about this uncanny feline might go on my list too.
