  St. Petersburg Drug Suspect Arrives at Police Station With His Dog

  A 29-year-old man suspected of drug dealing in St. Petersburg ended up at the police station with an unusual companion: his dog.

  Police say officers found 2.81 grams of mephedrone on the suspect and later discovered another 297.3 grams of methylephedrone during a search of his apartment.

  The man was detained and criminal cases were opened. His dog, meanwhile, appears to have been brought along for the mugshot.

  One of them looks considerably more concerned about the situation.

  A video shared on Reddit shows a little girl happily carrying a dead rat in a plastic bag as if it were her favorite toy—or emotional support pet.

  The clip sparked plenty of jokes, with one commenter calling it a “dry ration,” while another dubbed the girl a “young naturalist.”

  As the Russian caption puts it: “The gadget-free childhood everyone dreamed of.”

  Cat Caught Smuggling Drugs Into Russian Prison

  Prison staff in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod region intercepted an unusual suspected drug courier: a cat wearing a homemade collar containing two packages.

  One package held a green substance, while the other contained white powder. Staff called in a dog handler and a sniffer dog named Foxy, which detected the scent of narcotics. Laboratory testing later confirmed that the packages contained illegal drugs.

  The collar was confiscated, but after being examined, the cat was released without charge.

  Remarkably, a similar smuggling attempt involving another cat was stopped at a prison in the same region around a year earlier.

  The courier walked free. The collar did not.

  A Moscow man chose his pet pig over his wife.

  A mini pig given to a Moscow couple as a wedding anniversary gift ended up becoming the reason for their divorce.

  The pig, named Khavronya, was supposed to be a small home pet, but eventually grew to about 110 pounds. According to Lenta.ru, the animal started ruining furniture in the apartment and even took over the couple’s bed.

  The wife suggested giving the pig to a farm or a zoo, but her husband refused. Eventually, she gave him an ultimatum: her or the pig.

  He chose the pig.

  The couple has now started divorce proceedings.
