There are a lot of important China headlines today. From the melamine pet food scandal to the currency debate, global warming concerns, an ongoing intellectual property rights debate . .
. . the list goes on and on.
I could write about any one of these fairly serious topics, but instead, I was quite struck by this compelling headline: Puppy Loves Duck. I've also seen: Puppy and Duck Become Friends.
No, these aren't the names of an upcoming Disney movie, or a preschool book, but an actual international news story.
As it turns out, in Shandong Province, a Chinese couple bought a duck for their child, and later found an abandoned puppy. The two animals became best friends and are inseparable. The end.
Cue the touching music.
I don't really have anything more to add to this story. But I will add two of the most unusual animal pictures I've seen in China; the handiwork of Belgian artist Wim Delvoye. This is definitely some of the strangest art I've ever seen.
Who would have thought to tattoo pigs?
