By now you've probably heard the amazing story of Oscar the cat, who seems to sense when a resident of the nursing home where he lives is in their last hours of life.
Less known is the story of Zoey the Chihuahua. From the AP:
Tiny Dog Saves Baby From Rattlesnake
MASONVILLE, Colo. (AP) - Zoey is a Chihuahua, but when a rattlesnake lunged at her owners' 1-year-old grandson, she was a real bulldog.
Booker West was splashing his hands in a birdbath in his grandparents' northern Colorado back yard when the snake slithered up to the toddler, rattled and struck. Five-pound Zoey jumped in the way and took the bites.
“She got in between Booker and the snake, and that's when I heard her yipe,” said Monty Long, the boy's grandfather. The dog required treatment and for a time it appeared she might not survive. Now she prances about.
“These little bitty dogs, they just don't really get credit,” Booker's grandma Denise Long told the Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald.

Animals are awesome.
I meant to ask you what you thought of Kucinich agreeing that African-Americans should receive reparations for slavery?
