Weird BUT true

A Maine man walking his Yorkshire terrier put the pooch in his Chevy Silverado after it got into a beef with another dog, police in Ellsworth said.

The terrier somehow kicked the truck into gear and it rolled into a nearby lake. A family friend saved the pooch, and the truck had to be fished out of 10 feet of water.

A Wisconsin man got into a drunken brawl and blamed it on a hippopotamus.

The 25yearold was still intoxicated when he regained consciousness —and told Madison police officers he had been roughed up by a hippo.

Witnesses said the man was indeed beaten, but by another guy, and no hippos were involved.

The controversial Confederate battle emblem was stolen off the back of a bicycle, the bike’s owner told Pennsylvania cops.

They didn’t have far to go to investigate. The cycle was parked just outside the State College Police Department when the flag was swiped.

Cops in Saskatoon, Canada, had to pick up a vagrant who wouldn’t leave a Tim Hortons.

The hobo happened to be a goat who kept getting shooed away but insisted on coming back into the store, said Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the town of Warman, Saskatchewan.

It was a cold night and cops believe the goat was trying to find a warm place. Officers delivered the beast to an animal shelter before its owner was found.

Canada won’t issue a government healthcare card to Joan Stirling, 99, who has lived in Toronto since the 1930s.

The Britishborn Stirling has proof of her decadeslong employment, tax payments and even voting all these years. But without a birth certificate, Canada won’t give her health care, prompting Stirling to call herself the nation’s oldest “nonperson.”
