You help solicited: best animal / animal rescue/ cute pet video links
I have a friend with lymphoma hospitalized for the indefinite future and really having a tough time after full body radiation and stem cell transplant. I am finally going to be able to go see her and expect to spend much of the next several days/nights with her.

Can you all send me the links to the best YOUTUBE or other videos that you've seen of cute/important animal stories (e.g., cute pets, amazing rescues, etc).... I know this will cheer her up and I'd like to just sit there when she is awake and periodically play one for her.


Thanks all... very much

5. One of the Spokane stations was showing a dog rescue last night
Looked like a Russian ice-breaker trying to get a German Shepherd off a small ice flow which was rapidly breaking up.

I didn't catch the end of it. Anybody know what happened?

6. Apparently the dog had floated down a river in Poland and was swept out into the Baltic Sea.
The poor dog was clinging to the ice floe for the entire trip. The rescue was successful and the crew who rescued the dog named him "Baltic." They hope to adopt him if no owner comes forth.
