Doctors create first-ever transsexual dog

Russian vet surgeons performed a unique operation on a male dog, augmenting the animal's nipples with silicon. The operation took place in one of Moscow's vet hospitals yesterday. The animal was severely injured in a fight, when one of the infuriated dogs bit its genitals through.

Doctors said that they usually put such dogs down. "We will have to castrate the dog to save it from death," a surgeon said. The surgeons decided to make the unlucky dog their first extraordinary patient: "In addition to urethrostomy, we decided to make a vagina for the dog and use a little silicon for its nipples," the specialist added. The dog is currently resting after the operation. However, the animal will still have the behavior of a male dog afterwards. However, reduced male hormones will make the dog show a lot less interest in a female.

Hard Driving with Hummer Trucks

I’ve always considered Hummer H1 to be one of the best off-road vehicles. Beeing derived from a military off-road vehicle, the following pictures don’t even surpize me. Nevertheless, seeing a Hummer beeing driven onto pure rocks, now that’s amazing.
