A man kayaking in the Gulf of Mexico rescued an injured dog that was swimming offshore after fleeing when his owner was struck and killed by a car.
The bizarre and sad tale unfolded on Saturday afternoon on Siesta Key, an island community about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of St. Petersburg, FL.
News reportssay that 53-year-old Donna Chen was jogging with her dog Barney, a Hungarian Vizsla. A 22-year-old named Blake Talman was driving drunk and hit them. The dog owner died at the scene and the badly injured and scared dog ran off and jumped into the Gulf of Mexico.
The kayaker captured the water rescue on his video camera. Barney is now back with his family. I assume, mourning and dreaming of eating that drunk driver for lunch.

My biggest fears are realized in this terrifying bungee jumping video.
22-year-old Erin Langworth joined friends to go bungee jumping over the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe when the fun turned to horror. The rope snapped, dropping the Australian tourist into the water.
Langworth somehow escaped serious injury, heading home after a week in the hospital.

January 23rd marks the beginning of the year of the dragon on the Chinese calendar, and Vertu is celebrating with a luxury dragon-themed mobile phone based on its Signature collection. Each quad-band dragon phone comes in stainless steel with emeralds, black steel with Rubies, or gold with diamonds. A four-clawed dragon mounted on the back is hand-made from a 20-step process that takes 36 hours to complete — the scales alone take more than eight hours to engrave. Before being mounted on the phone, each gold dragon is shipped to Switzerland to receive a hallmark of purity. All this labor and certification doesn’t come cheap. The handsets cost about $20,733 ($26,800 in Singapore dollars) each, but buyers get a leather case, a charging base, and one year of Vertu Concierge service free. There are really no specs of particular interest, but that’s not really the point.(via The Verge)
My diamond-encrusted Bluetooth should look good with this.
