The Pittsburgh Prairie Dogs?

June 27, 2007 03:10 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

In an effort to create a more "refined" look for a University of Pittsburgh logo, school administrators have inadvertently stirred up a maelstrom of discontent among Panther fans, the Pitt News reports. According to one sportswriter, the change "turns the Pitt Panther into a Cowardly Lion, except the lion draws a strange resemblance to a dog." Or according to others, a pit bull, a pig, a prairie dog, or (our favorite) an otter. There's a poll and even a Facebook group ("Boycott the new Pitt logo—it looks like an otter"). —Alison Go

Dog needs help - will die

Hi,

I am a single mother and my puppy who is nine months old is in the emergency room. I do not have any more money and they will not bill me. Lucy our puppy is very ill with a virus and if she does not stay at the hospital for treatment she will die. Please help us! Our number is 412-251-7920 and the vet's number is 412-364-5353. We attached a picture of her in the hospital. She is paid up to 7pm Feb 01,09. Please forward this to anyone who can help us.

Thank You,

Vicki MacFarlane
