Sheepdog shots: The owners of two shaggy sheepdogs enjoy taking photos of their pets doing everyday activities. Cees Bol and Hanneke van de Watering live in a small village in the Netherlands called Sibculo. They love to grab a camera and take amusing shots of their sheepdogs, Sophie and Sarah. The dogs may be photographed playing chess, sitting at the dinner table or getting money from the bank machine. Of course, the shots are all staged. Bol enjoys nature photography and will also pose the dogs gazing at a rainbow or lounging at the beach.

I see you: Like anyone else who has had personal property stolen, a man from London, England, was quite disturbed when his laptop was taken from his apartment. However, unlike other victims, Dom Del Torto knows the location of his stolen property. His laptop was equipped with an app that takes pictures of those who use it. The app even sends these images back to him. Del Torto knows his laptop is being used by a woman in Tehran, Iran, but is unsure if the woman is the thief or an unwitting buyer of stolen merchandise. Unfortunately, there is nothing much that local London police can do about the crime.

Cat came back: Ginger the cat only has one eye, but he makes up for that with his keen sense of direction. It seems that Ginger’s owner, Jayne Middleton, inadvertently left the cat’s traveling cage door open during a visit to the vet in Nottingham, England. Ginger escaped and was nowhere to be found, despite several desperate searches. Because the vet’s clinic was five miles from her home, with many major roads and lots of traffic to endure, Middleton did not expect to see her pet again. However, Ginger had a surprise for her. To Middleton’s great joy, he showed up ten days after he disappeared, no worse for the wear.

Tiny room: Tokyo, Japan, is a city with a high density population. People who live there are quite accustomed to living in tiny apartments. Small spaces do not seem to bother the locals because it is part of their life. However, there is a trend happening that may take the idea of “small space” too far. Coffin-sized living quarters, stacked one on top of the other, are being rented out for up to ¥55,000 a month ($586 US). This version of home is becoming common, especially in the Shibuya district of the city. Generally, young professionals, who are busy working long hours, rent these little compartments to use just for sleeping.
