Chilling Juxtaposition

In this video, Wang Yue, a two-year-old, is run over by not one, but two, vans, both drivers continuing on their way. Passers-by on this busy road in China ignore the bleeding child, until a woman finally stops and aids the toddler after at least 18 people went by without raising a finger. Outcome: Child dies.

In this video, a stray dog risks its life to save another dog that has been hit by a car on a busy highway in Chile. Outcome: Both dogs survive.

Let Your Doggy Do the Walking–and Shopping

Photo from CEN

Deng Deng the sheepdog lives–and shops–in Changsha, China. His owner has trained the one-year-old pooch to go grocery shopping. Deng Deng trots off with money and a list tucked into one of the two shopping bags that hang from a specially-built harness. After the order has been filled at a local shop, back home he goes with his bags of grocercies.

There’s a slim, okay very slim, chance Pablo could be trained to go to our nearby 7-11. But come back with all those goodies? No way.
