Peacock Hitches Ride With Pair Along Pennsylvania Roadway
Jerry Dimick and a companion were traveling Route 307 near Clarks Summit on Wednesday when they saw a peacock standing on the edge of the road.
Dimick reports that he stopped and “went ’smooch, smooch, smooch, smooch’ and the bird came over.” At that point he reached out and grabbed him.
It gets even better! There was no room in the back of his pickup truck so Dimick put the peacock in the front seat! Apparently, the bird was sitting comfortably between the two of them.
Dimick drove the bird to his home in Taylor and is now trying to find a safe place for it to live. He’s having some trouble so far, however. He has had no luck with the Game Commission, animal control, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or even the local zoo.
Pet Rabbit Credited With Saving Couple From Fire
A pet rabbit has been named a hero because it saved a couple from a fire that swept through their home in the city of Melbourne, Australia.
Apparently, the husband returned home from a night shift early Thursday and heard the pet (named “Rabbit”) scratching at the couple’s bedroom door about a half an hour after he had gone to bed.
The husband got up and then discovered a fire in a back room and smoke spreading quickly through the house. He and his wife were both able to escape without injury.
The blaze caused substantial damage to the house before it was put out by four crews of firefighters.
Good Samaritans Rush In to Save Man’s Cash
Bystanders rushed to help a 70-year-old man after he stumbled while leaving a Southern California bank. His stumble sent thousands of dollars scattering into the wind.
Ludwig Geier says literally hundreds of bills were “gone in no time.” They went flying through the air and littered the First National Bank’s parking lot Monday.
Almost immediately those nearby rushed to help. Geier reports that about 96% of the money was found.
Geier says he’s going to pray for those good Samaritans and adds: “If I could get them together, I’d buy them dinner and drinks.”
