Claire was hospitalised

A south Florida teacher was taken to the hospital after she was attacked by a 5-year-old student, leaving her “dazed” and “unresponsive.

The unidentified instructor was found “sitting on the ground against the wall” and “appearing to be in a faint state” at Pines Lakes Elementary School, according to police report.

The victim was “clearly weak and dazed,” able to “blink and breathe regularly but at no point was able to vocally respond or show signs of a response,” the report said.

Police said the troubling incident started when a 5-year-old boy had to be removed from class for “throwing things around” and “flipping the chairs.”

The youngster was taken to an empty “cool down” room, where the attack on the teacher allegedly took place. The teacher was taken to hospital and had since been released.

While the young suspect is still being investigated for possible “aggravated assault with hands, fist and feet,” it’s unlikely he’ll be criminally prosecuted, a police spokesman said. –yahoo news

 An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.

The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.

Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.

The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.

Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.

Stuck parrot

 Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.

San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.

Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.

“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
