HOW OLD IS A DOG IN HUMAN YEARS?
You have probably heard the old myth that every year of a dog's life is equivalent to 7 human years. These days, we know more about dogs and can more accurately estimate the age of a dog in human years.
When you compare dogs to humans, you'll see just how fast dogs actually mature. A one-year human child still needs its parents. However, a one-year old dog has already reached sexual maturity and can reproduce.
LEMON THE DUCK
"Lemon is one of four Pekin ducks hatched in a Kindergarten classroom in April of 2006. Lemon, a crested Pekin, was born with neurological issues which affect her coordination and balance. She is unable to walk but she has become quite a little swimmer. She grew up in a classroom and with her teacher friend, so she is an imprinted duck. She's drawn to the many people she meets, especially children.
Don't feel sorry for this duck. She has a great life! She goes for rides in her baby carriage, to work every day with her teacher friend and home with her every night. She gets lots of love and attention..."
