WINDOW WASHING CREW USE THEIR POLES TO SAVE DROWNING HEDGEHOG
Hedgehogs can swim, but a crew from Archer Window Cleaners in Manchester, England recently found one in distress in the Ashton Canal.
“One of the lads spotted something in the water and he thought it might be a turtle or something at first," the company's founder Chris Oaks told the Manchester Evening News.“But when we got a bit closer we realized it was a little hedgehog. It was really small so can’t have been very old."

SUNBURNS & CANCER: HOW TO PROTECT YOUR PET
Did you know your pet's fur may not be enough to protect from sun damage.
"Just because a dog has a coat of fur, it doesn’t mean that it is protected from the sun’s rays." Dr. Laura Stokking, a veterinary dermatology told UT San Diego. "Even a thick fur coat isn’t enough protection. Constant sun exposure can result in painful sunburns, skin ulcers, cancer and permanent skin damage. Some breeds are more susceptible to sunburn, like those that ar...

He spends his days asking people for money,but he doesn’t keep any of it for himself. Every bit he collects goes straight to the orphans.

"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I KNOCKED OVER THE BOWL OF CAT FOOD?"
Well, anyone who manages a feral cat colony will tell you that the local wildlife will take part in the buffet from time to time. This gorgeous raccoon was caught in the act at a Harmony Fund feeding station for a pair of elderly feral cats.
