PETS

• In November, the cries of alarm from Willie, a Quaker parrot from Denver, Colo., alerted his owner, Megan Howard, that the toddler she was babysitting was choking. His yells of "Mama, baby" led Howard to perform the Heimlich maneuver and earned Willie the local Red Cross chapter's Animal Lifesaver Award on March 20.

• Augie, a 2-year-old greater Swiss mountain dog, ate $400 in cash that owner Kelley Davis made working extra hours. The North Carolina woman found parts of the bills in his waste. She washed the bills and said March 18 that she hoped to trade the pieces for cash at the bank.

• A woman, identified only as Mrs. Wang, poses Sept. 9 with what is reported to be the world's most expensive dog, Yangtze River Number Two. The Tibetan mastiff cost Mrs. Wang $582,135.

• Two baby red pandas born at a zoo in China's Shanxi province in June were rejected by their mother in front of a huge crowd of zoo visitors. But a dog came to their rescue, nursing the protected pair.

• This patriotic squirrel stole American flags from a Port Huron, Mich., cemetery on May 25. Volunteers placed flags next to the gravesites of almost 1,000 veterans on Memorial Day, only to realize many were missing the next day. The cemetery superintendent solved the mystery when he saw this squirrel taking flags up a tree to furnish his nest.

• Tinker Bell, a 6-pound Chihuahua, rests in her owner's arms after a happy reunion. The dog was lost for two days in April after a 70 mph gust blew her away. Dorothy and Lavern Utley of Waterford Township, Mich., said a pet psychic helped them find Tinker Bell.
