Canine pitch invader back at home

(...)

When Martin Burn settled down to watch the second Test of the International Rules series on Sunday on TV, he could barely believe what he saw.

There was much hilarity among the 60,000 crowd at the game, as a small dog got onto the pitch and chased the ball.

He recognised the pitch invader as the family pet, and the dog was eventually returned home.

(...)

Mr Burn called his family to watch as the dog interrupted play, haring around the pitch for five minutes.

Eventually, stewards managed to remove the dog from the pitch.

(...)

"Aye, he's unbelievable, isn't he?" said a delighted Mr Burn.

"He's only a baby, he's only a pup when you think about it as well.

His family said he was exhausted by his adventure
"But the poor dog now, he's at home now and he's not able to wag. He looks like he was in the marathon yesterday.

"Just as well there's not another match this Sunday, I don't think he'd pass the fitness test!"

Dog-kicking suspect may want trial moved


(That dog sure is rather kickable...)

Quote
Lawyers representing a man accused of killing a dog by kicking it like a football are considering asking for a change of venue because they fear their client may not get a fair trial with Nashville jurors.

Hmm... not sure whether dog-kicking qualifies as sport though...

I'd say so, although you're not supposed to KILL it...

Hiking hippo caught after 10 months on run
 
Quote
CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Relieved conservationists have recaptured a young hippopotamus that spent almost 10 months on the run near Cape Town after fleeing a nature reserve where it was being bullied by an older dominant male [aawww!].

The hippo (...) was caught on Thursday after a dramatic 3-1/2 hour chase through waterways and reeds during which six tranquilliser darts were fired into his hide.
