On #BellLetsTalk day, The Peterborough Humane Society did their part to help reduce the stigma of discussing mental health by doing a Facebook post about a special 4-year-old Pointer/Retriever.
But as the Humane Society says, "Although you can't tell from his picture, he is currently very nervous and timid. He has been unsettled by the recent changes in his life. This adorable guy has not been with us long and is still adjusting to the busy environment."
Peterborough Fire Rescue Just Saved A Drowning Dog In The Icy Otonabee River
/It was a surreal turn of events for CHEX Newswatch reporter Sarah Deeth on Thursday (January 12th). Deeth was on assignment as Peterborough Fire Rescue was doing ice rescue training on the Otonabee River.
She tweeted about it here...
But just moments after the training session wrapped, things got real when fire rescue responders got word of a dog that was in the icy river, and that would surely drown without an immediate rescue.
Deeth tweeted about it, along with a dramatic still from one of her camera shots for CHEX Newswatch of the cold, wet dog wrapped in a blanket after being rescued...
"I got to the scene as firefighters were bundling this little guy up," Deeth tells PTBOCanada. "He was shivering something terrible. And the firefighters were so kind, wrapping this little soul in blankets and speaking softly to keep him calm. It was just really nice to see."

In a message on her Facebook page, Deeth had this to say about the rescue...
Meet Prince The Adorably Grumpy Looking Cat At Peterborough Humane Society
/UPDATE (January 5th): The Humane Society has tweeted the news that Prince has been adopted. Awesome!
ORIGINAL POST
There is a cat at the Peterborough Humane Society named Prince that is looking for his forever home. Prince happens to have some of the best, grumpiest facial expressions you'll ever see.
"Prince is still available for adoption," Susan Dunkley, Manager of Development and Outreach at Peterborough Humane Society, tells PTBOCanada. "He is three years and a bit—he is a himalayan mix."
Look at this dude...

A Chicken Was Found At A Tim Hortons In Fenelon Falls
/The Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes gets many different types of pets brought to it. But this one seems a little different.
Yes, it seems a chicken found at a Tim Hortons in Fenelon Falls near Peterborough was dropped off there on Wednesday.
The Tim Hortons Chicken
Apparently the chicken caused quite the traffic jam at the Tim Hortons. No word if it was lined up in the drive-thru.
So if anyone knows whose chicken it is, well she is now in Lindsay at the Humane Society headquarters.
The Humane Society says on its Facebook page post that it has lots of volunteers who would like her if she's not claimed.
Also, anyone who wants to use this obvious line we just thought of—"Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the Tim Hortons"—please do so.
