A man in the United Kingdom who was wanted for car theft was sent to jail last Friday after police found him hiding inside a teddy bear.

According to a social media post by Greater Manchester Police, 18-year-old Joshua Dobson had been wanted by cops since May, when he stole a car before fuelling up without paying.

Last month, when officers went to his address to arrest him, they noticed a large teddy bear on the property that appeared not to be entirely inanimate.

The cops found that the 18-year-old had stuffed himself inside the giant five-foot teddy bear.

“When we went to arrest him, our officers noticed a large bear breathing in the address before finding Dobson hidden inside!

“He’s now stuffed behind bars after being sentenced last week for theft of a motor vehicle, driving while disqualified, and making off from a petrol station without payment,” the Greater Manchester Police said on Facebook. – ndtv.com

 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.

“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.

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.”
