Owls Gone Wild

A brown owl was picked up for public inebriation in Germany. The animal was observed sitting along side the road without concern for passing traffic, close by were two schnapps bottles it had been sampling. Police picked it up and took it to a local bird expert where it is being detoxed with lots of water. The owl will be released when it sobers up. Should be named Otis.

In Crystal Lake, Ill. Chico the chihuahua was saved from a gruesome death by his winter jacket and brave owner. A great horned owl swooped down and attempted to snatch the little dog for dinner. Between a bad grip due to the doggie jacket and Chico's owner, George Kalomiris. giving chase the dog was released. George then carried little Chico to safety. This owl should be named Jason.
