Angel the Super dog
Dog Saves 11-Year-Old Boy from Cougar Attack APRIL 29, 2010
By Laura T. Coffey, MSNBC
When a hungry cougar came calling, an 11-year-old boy named Austin Forman had Angel on his side.It happened on a dark Sunday evening in British Columbia, Canada, when Austin went outside to collect wood for his family's wood-burning furnace. He noticed that Angel, his happy-go-lucky golden retriever, was acting much more cautious and guarded than usual. Within moments, a cougar tried to pounce on Austin from less than 10 feet away. Angel jumped directly into the big cat's path and bore the brunt of the attack instead."She was my best friend, but now she's even greater to me. She's more than a best friend now," Austin said after the attack, which almost certainly would have killed Angel if a local police constable hadn't managed to shoot the cougar.The 18-month-old dog had surgery to repair extensive injuries to her head. "I was just lucky my dog was there, because it happened so fast I wouldn't have known what hit me," Austin said. "I bought her a big, nice juicy steak."

Whale Conservation
How inspiring would it be to watch the magnificent Grey whale in its Canadian summer feeding areas and experiences the beautiful natural environment what is the Clayoquot Sound off the west coast of Vancouver Island to help researchers design better ways to protect these magnificent animals. The duration of the expedition is 7 - 13 days during July, August and September , staying in a hostel in the village of Ahoushat on Flores island. Your days will be spent on the water in sea- kayaks or converted fishing boats searching for the whales and map their feeding prey with underwater cameras and sonar. Earth Watch is the charity, a non for-profit organisation which helps make the expedition reality. Funds are urgently need for the research of the whales and for this reason the cost of participating on a Earth Watch expedition is called a contribution.The contribution is anywhere between $2250 - $3250 and participants are encouraged to donate more if able to as all the funds are towards the continued research of the Grey whale.
