Wacky, Weird, and Wonderful World News

This is why I spend too much time on the internet ----

I just read a story about a 5 year old girl who walked out of a forest two days after she was presumed to have drowned in an Illinois river.

That led to a story about a rabid fox that chased two kids in a New Hampshire back yard. It was eventually captured by the children's mother who pinned it to the ground till police arrived.

From there I went to Germany and a story about a "wild and crazy" squirrel that ran from house to house attacking people until a 72 year old man beat it to death with his crutch.

On to Georgia, where a German shepherd stopped to help a stranger who had been injuried in a car wreck. This four legged hero found dragged the victim by her shirt collar about 50 yards up an embankment to the highway, then stood by her till she was able to flag down a motorist.

Next stop: Jerusalem. A wild leopard jumped in bed with a man, his young daughter, and the family cat. The man wrestled the lepard to the floor and pinned it for twenty minutes. The daughter was in her father's bed because a mosquito had frightened her out of her own room. Ummm, the leopard was old and in ill health but there was no description of the mosquito.

Back to the Northeast, charges were dropped against a Vermont woman who stared at and made faces at a police dog.
