One-testicled dog stolen
Mounties are trying to sniff out a pair of dognappers who purloined a one-testicled pooch. The big heist happened on New Year’s Eve when two women entered a Petland store in Grande Prairie and were looking at the miniature Pincher puppies in an open pen, RCMP Const. Scott Hagarty said. Soon, one of the pups was gone, and so were the two suspects. Hagarty said police are relying on tips from people who may have seen this rare, tan-colored pooch. “It’s kind of a unique dog because it only has one testicle,” Hagarty said.

Court says monkeys and chimps can't sue
A state appeals court has affirmed a lower court decision that nine chimpanzees and monkeys brought to a San Antonio-area sanctuary don't have a legal right to sue. The apes were brought to the Primarily Primates sanctuary from Ohio State University in 2006 after they were retired from research purposes. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had sought to gain legal standing for the primates. It alleged sanctuary conditions were substandard and that it would be best for the seven chimps and two monkeys to be moved to another sanctuary.
