Weird BUT true

Who’s a good dog? You are . . . now scram!

A heartless cur returned a dog to an Atlanta-area shelter because she was “too nice.”

LifeLine Animal Project believes the adopter returned Helena — called a “Velcro dog” for her attraction to people — because he wanted a guard dog.

The snuggly pooch was adopted again within two days, much to her delight.

“If you stop petting her, she will request you continue,” said shelter spokeswoma­n Karen Hirsch.

This vehicle was gone in 600 seconds.

An Aussie with a need for speed lost his Porsche to the police impound lot 10 minutes after buying it.

The Melbourne driver, 37, was clocked zooming more than 60 mph in a 40 mph zone on Aughtie Drive, part of the city’s Grand Prix circuit. Police took his 2013 Porsche SUV for 30 days.

Mum’s the word. Britons are losing it over new Mother’s Day cards on sale in England because they say “mom” instead of “mum” — seen as proof that American English is invading jolly olde England.

UK linguists are blaming the prepondera­nce of US “telly” (or TV) for the shift.

This is one stunt they weren’t cheering for.

Oregon State University’s cheer squad is trying to figure out why its Web site was redirectin­g people to a site for swingers.

The team was migrating to its new URL, BeaverChee­r.com, when someone discovered that links advertisin­g the new site actually took users to one about open marriages.

Sounds like he’s the one who needs therapy.

A Canadian psychiatri­st who practiced gay-conversion therapy was found guilty of having sex with two of his male patients.

Dr. Melvyn Iscove’s license was suspended after he allegedly told the men that having sex with him would “cure” their homosexual desires.
