A Staffodshire bull terrier named Bush survived for almost for two weeks by eating a dead bird and drinking water from a fall before he was finally rescued by a military helicopter in Britain. Bush reportedly lost his way on a cliff ledge while his owner Margie Brett was on holiday in the area. The Daily Mail said the dog survived by eating a crow and drinking from a waterfall that runs along the 100-foot cliffs in North Devon. Currently Bush is being treated by a veterinarian and will be reunited with Brett and her husband in a few days.

Apparently, it won't be a Good Friday for some in the town of Newcastle in England. A pastor has banned children under 12 years of age from his Good Friday service because he will instead be showing clips from Mel Gibson's controversial movie The Passion of The Christ. What's more, the pastor also slammed the modern Easter holiday for being "sentimentalized with eggs and fluffy chickens". The pastor, Mark Elder, 45, of Heaton Baptist Church says: "The Easter story is not pretty and I want to get across the true un-cut version. It's effectively an X-certificate service," according to Ananova.
