Product Information

Hong Kong Society of Herpetology Foundation – Focuses on amphibians and reptiles and has adoption services and community outreach programs. www.hkherp.org.hk

The animals had no idea what was going on — more than once, it's shown they don't understand human speech or some human actions, such as the phone to the ear — and so of course wouldn't understand why they'd been left in this strange place while their people drove off without them. HK Saving Cat and Dog Association – Provides food, medical treatment, sterilisation and adoption services for stray cats and dogs since 2007. www.hkscda.com The animal kingdom is often thought of as brutally Darwinian: a world of predatory, bloodthirsty self-interest. And certainly there are creatures, like the common American lobster ( Homarus americanus) that do indeed act like total selfish assholes.But many animals have actually taken impressive steps toward the establishment of fully socialistic societies. Here, Current Affairsoffers you a guide to the egalitarian, worker-friendly ethics of several common species. Cub Cues Protective Parent: Bear cubs, in this case, whose whines (courtesy of Chance trying to keep them from taking his fish) cause their mother to come to their aid.Inevitable Waterfall: Sassy goes over one, despite Shadow's efforts to save her. She survives thanks to being found by a nature watcher, but Chance and Shadow legitimately think that she's dead. It is very obvious why this film was bound to be a hit with children: Almost all children love animals, the humor is at a level that even young ones can laugh at, and the three protagonists are ones that all children can identify with: the aged Golden Retriever Shadow, the frisky pup Chance, and the sharp-tongued and witty cat Sassy. PREFERRED HABITAT: Ensconced in the herd, and perhaps someday ensconced in the ruins of capitalism.

PREFERRED HABITAT: Hot, dry environments, including grasslands and low-lying tropical forests. Komodo dragons are not afraid of fences, and display no respect for private property. The Door Slams You: Shadow "rescues" Chance from the pound this way by pouncing the fence right in front of the pound personnel. More than just a leading retailer of healthy and wholesome products for all sorts of pets, Whiskers N Paws partners with animal shelters to support the adoption of dogs, cats and small animals.

Current Affairs

PREFERRED HABITAT: Under the sea. Some biologists hypothesize that the open ocean is generally more conducive to socialism (see Seahorse; Manatee). Adaptation Species Change: Happened in the transition from the book The Incredible Journey to the film. They're all the same breed types as the original, although the dogs have age and personality swapped: Shadow is Luath's breed type (retriever, though Shadow is a Golden and Luath a Labrador) and stone-cold determined personality with Bodger's age, Chance is Bodger's breed type (bully breeds; Chance is an American Bulldog and Bodger an English Bull Terrier) and devil-may-care personality with Luath's young age, and Tao the male Siamese is changed into Sassy the female Himalayan (a Persian/Siamese cross). In both versions, it's the young dog who has a bad run-in with a porcupine and the old dog who almost doesn't make it home at the end.
