Although Dawn Larson was born with a disorder that causes most people to stare at her, she never felt discriminated against. Born with Holt-Oram Syndrome, Larson has diminutive hands about six inches from her shoulder but she has led a very productive life. That is until she ordered food from McDonalds for her and her boys. In an interview with the Chicago Sun Times, she stated, "I drank my baby bottle with my feet. Nobody ever taught me how to do it, I just did it," Larson said. "I can ride a regular 10-speed bike. I can swim. It has not been a problem in my life at all. It didn't stop me from having four boys. I've never dropped one of them. "

After spending their lives enduring brutal treatment, the last of Bulgaria's dancing bears are headed to a mountain sanctuary where they can rest their paws. The bears are the last in a line of centuries of bears in the Balkans that have been trained to dance by walking across burning embers on their bare paws hopping from one foot onto the other to escape the fire while their trainer beat a drum until they connected the drum to the pain. The bears were caught while they were cubs and trained. Many Gypsy, or Roma, families earned their livelihoods with bear dancing for generations.
