Koda is a therapy dog.

Koda is known for her friendly demeanor as she and gallery owner David Schultz greet customers at West Light Images, a photography shop that specializes in depictions of wildlife.

What Koda is less known for is her charitable work outside the shop.

For the past five years, Koda and Schultz have worked with developmentally challenged kids at high schools and libraries in Heber City, Park City and Salt Lake City as a certified therapy dog of Intermountain Therapy Animals. The 7-year-old Koda sits with kids as they read or rests patiently as they pet her soft fur.

It's all in a day's work for Koda, whose owner recently launched a Web site to help raise money for Intermountain Therapy Animals, a nonprofit. Since the site opened its digital doors on Saturday, two good Samaritans have donated a total of $150 to the cause. Schultz lists his goal as $5,000.

Nurses posts brain surgery pictures on Facebook

A nurse posted photos of herself clutching a lump of human flesh beside a patient having a brain operation for her Facebook page.

Her job at a hospital in Stockholm is now at risk after she put 14 photos from a brain surgery and a back operation to her account on the popular social networking site.

One showed the operating assistant holding indeterminate parts of the patient's body.

Cameras are banned from operating theatres unless they are intended as teaching aids for students. It appears that the nurse, who is unnamed for legal reasons, used her mobile phone.

The woman, who has been suspended, is said to be "devastated" by her actions. It seems she wanted to impress her friends with her high powered job.

It is not the first time that Facebook has got employees into trouble.

Last month Crystal Palace footballer Ashley-Paul Robinson embarrassed his club when he posted a message on the site saying he was having a trial with Fulham FC.

In pictures: Water woes

As World Water Week gets under way, no-one is more aware of the need to protect this scarce resource than the people of Rajasthan, one of the driest states in India.

As the population is growing, use of water is growing even faster.

Camels are a familiar sight in the state - in fact, 300,000 of its inhabitants depend on camels for their living.

Do animals feel grief?

Photographs of Gana, an 11-year-old gorilla in Munster Zoo, holding the lifeless body of her three-month-old infant, are doing the rounds of the world's media. The pictures have prompted headlines such as "Heartbreaking" and "A Mother's Grief". Gana certainly looks inconsolable at the loss of her child. But is she? Are we too quick to project human feelings onto animals, particularly our closest ape relatives?

But, as anyone who has been watching Richard Dawkins' Channel 4 series The Genius of Darwin will recall, evolution favours any species with strong enough parental instincts to see their young through infancy. Animals invest time, energy and genetic material into their young, just as we do, and they naturally want them to survive. Is it too much of a stretch to imagine that they would also feel loss when their young die?

monkey stops traffic in tokyo

TOKYO, Japan (CNN) -- A monkey stopped morning commuters in their tracks at one of Tokyo's busiest subway stations this week, as it curiously peered down at them from its perch atop the departures and arrivals board.

Monday marked the third time a monkey has been spotted in the capital this month -- surprising, because the beasts usually live in the mountains and hills outside Tokyo, more than a two-hour train ride away from the city center.

Surprised commuters snapped cell phone pictures of the simian, while about 30 police officers scrambled to rope off the area.

They held up green nets and tarps, trying to coax the animal down from the overheard electronic board.

The monkey jumped over the officers' heads, leaped into the crowd and scampered out of the station, with police in hot pursuit.

In the end, the monkey got away. But it was enough to make Japanese media go bananas.

A monkey was spotted in metropolitan Tokyo's Koganei city on August 12 and in Setagaya on Monday.

No Beijing Olympics for Me

whose love of cats and dogs are limited to only their own.

Anyone interested in seeing a video re this horror, please go to the internet
and type in "CHINESE FUR FARMS." This video shows the terrible treatment
involved in the skinning of dogs which I believe are called raccoon dogs. Other farms also skin alive cats as well. Their reasoning for skinning them alive defies common sense and certainly compassion. The numbers are estimated in the millions, but for those who are incredulous - how about hundreds of thousands? Does that make it less of a tragedy?

You know it's summer when chupacabra shows up

Right on schedule in the middle of a sleepy news summer, the famous fanged beast of Latino folklore has emerged again in South Texas.

On Friday, sheriff’s deputies near Cuero caught on video a weird animal running along a county road.

Judging by their video, this one looks like the other four hybrid coyotes found dead near Cuero since last year — all odd, hairless creatures with long fangs.

They look like miniature versions of the mythical devil beast El Chupacabras, less formally known as the chupacabra.

They rounded a corner on Theime Road and saw an animal sitting in the roadway.

"It had big teeth, a big head, short legs in front and long legs in back. I was raised on a ranch, and I’d never seen anything like it."

(Say it: chew-pah-KAH-brah. The word means goatsucker. Think of a flying Bigfoot.)

Since last summer, Cuero has become the Chupacabra Capital of the World.

"You can’t live in Cuero," she said, "and not recognize the chupacabra."

Horror film gene that makes some scream while others laugh

Jack Nicholson, portraying 'Jack Torrance' in the movie 'The Shining' directed by Stanley Kubrick

Scientists say different versions of a single gene linked to feelings of anxiety can explain the way in which some people simply cannot abide such movies, while others enjoy the suspense and the gore.

While many screamed and some even fainted in cinemas at scenes of spinning heads and shaking beds, others simply laughed.

People who have two copies of one version of the gene are more easily disturbed when viewing unpleasant pictures, the scientists discovered.

By contrast, those who had one copy of the gene and one copy of another version were able to keep their emotions in check far more readily.

The study, published today in the scientific journal Behavioural Neuroscience, also found that those with two copies of the latter gene were also able to keep a lid on their anxiety more easily.
