That gives "flying rat" a whole new meaning...

First cats stuck in trees, now dogs...

What's next? A cow?

Why would you take a dog paragliding?

I call it chainsaw time.

Target practice.

A treehuahua?

It doesn't get much farky-er than this article. A morphine-high cancer survivor takes his hairless little ratdog hang gliding and ends up stuck in a tree, and texts for help. THAT is special.

Great find, subby.

"He used his mobile phone to send text messages to friends who alerted police."


Can some Aussie Farker tell me why you would rather spend time texting for help when it would be quicker just to dial the goddamn number to speak to someone? Or why he would call his friends first, instead of dialling whatever emergency number you use? I think they should have saved the dog, and left the guy behind.


Your dog wants a different owner.

"She always flies with me. She loves it. I wouldn't take her if she didn't like it.

/call the vet

Lunch.

Dog is my co-pilot.

Awwwww, he dropped his little chalupa. Guy's lucky an eagle wasn't flying around, Fido would have been lunch.

I heard from another news source that it was a seeing-eye dog, can anyone confirm this?

Skeet.

I'd call it "PULL!".

/When it starts moving, shoot it.

Your dog wants a different owner.

Probably because he was in the middle of nowhere, and couldn't get decent phone service. A text message will quite often go through when a voice call won't connect.

Granted it's technically two different types of service and at times one may work but not the other, but they're working off the same towers and MSOs. All he probably had to do was turn it off and back on to reset the connections.

If it was, it didn't work.

I came in here to say this.

Hawk bait?

Dog : "I said WALK dammit! I just wanted to go for a walk.."

Answer: (If he didn't have the phone) Lunch.

Mexico's answer to NASA? "Otro pedacito de escalera."

I shudder to think of a world 40-50 years from now when elderly women will still have their tramp stamps on the small of their back, albeit rather wrinkly.

He used his mobile phone to send text messages to friends who alerted police. LOL loser.
