Latest / Be Amazed / Strangest Pet Owners In The World
Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: We all love pets.
- 0:01[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, countless studies have suggested that the company of a furry friend might even be beneficial to our mental health.
- 0:08[SPEAKER_00]: That said, some pets out there are a little strange, and their owners have gone way beyond what can be considered a normal relationship with their animal friends.
- 0:18[SPEAKER_00]: So today we'll be meeting some crazy pets with even stranger owners, including a chicken ranch for me that's now convinced he's a dog, a woman with twenty-eight thousand cats, and a handful of pet owners who refuse to say goodbye to their dearly departed for babies.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_00]: Strap and stay tuned because things are about to get pretty weird on this pet safari.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_00]: It was a dark tragic day back in twenty seventeen when Mary Bowman's much beloved pet chicken Julian passed away.
- 1:03[SPEAKER_00]: While some folks would merely see the passing of a chicken as a free dinner opportunity, Mary was heartbroken.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_00]: And time though, her heart would mend, and in October twenty seventeen she decided to adopt a new chicken.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_00]: After all, it's what Julian would have wanted.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_00]: It was then that she became aware of Boo.
- 1:22[SPEAKER_00]: This chicken, like many, was destined to be slaughtered, but had luckily been rescued from that fate by members of a Facebook group called Vegans with Chickens.
- 1:31[SPEAKER_00]: It was through this Facebook group page that Mary became aware of the chicken who was now up for adoption, and since Boo looked just like her late Julian, Mary believed it was fate that had brought them together.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_00]: A chicken that looks just like another chicken,
- 1:46[SPEAKER_00]: What are the chances?
- 1:49[SPEAKER_00]: Because Boo was raised on a farm for meat, he was grossly overfed, meaning that it just six weeks old the age when chickens are typically slaughtered, he weighed almost fifteen pounds.
- 2:00[SPEAKER_00]: For comparison, the average healthy naturally fed chick only weighs around six and a half pounds.
- 2:07[SPEAKER_00]: As a result of booze obesity, he suffered from heart troubles and a lack of blood oxygen.
- 2:12[SPEAKER_00]: However, once he settled into his new home and healthy or die with Mary, over time, the once neglected chicken ended up with a clean bill of health and became a domesticated pet.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_00]: Strangely he even developed behaviors we typically attribute to dogs, from having free run of the house and eating out of a dog's bowl, so even going on walks and family outings.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_00]: Boo essentially became Mary's pet chicken boot.
- 2:37[SPEAKER_00]: So much so he even can play fetch.
- 2:41[SPEAKER_00]: Blood playing games aside according to Mary, Boo is so much more than just a chicken, or even a dog for that matter.
- 2:48[SPEAKER_00]: Boo is a genius.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: from being a virtuoso on the old Ebony Inhyveries to his secretary work, not to mention being a fashion icon, what with his own ultra chic poop bag.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_00]: So it's pretty clear this chickens got more to them than we usually assume for a bird of his kind.
- 3:07[SPEAKER_00]: But are we underestimating chickens in general?
- 3:09[SPEAKER_00]: Boo's often likened to a dog and his behavior, and it might surprise you to learn that multiple studies have found that the intelligence of chickens and dogs is actually roughly on par.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, there's little researcher evidence to prove whether it's possible for a chicken to actually believe it's a dog, or even another species.
- 3:27[SPEAKER_00]: But research conducted by the UK's biotechnology and biological sciences research council has strongly suggested that they're capable of empathy.
- 3:36[SPEAKER_00]: Meaning it's technically possible that a chicken might observe, empathize, and tune into a dog's emotional reactions and behavior.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_00]: But Boo's owner Mary isn't the only pro chicken mom out there whose bird has a certain canine flare.
- 3:50[SPEAKER_00]: Movie star Jennifer Garner also has a few poultry pals that she treats like pet dogs.
- 3:55[SPEAKER_00]: She and her pet chicken hilariously named Regina George can be seen heading out for a walk.
- 4:01[SPEAKER_00]: Presumably though, Jennifer's chicks aren't quite as advanced as Bill, not at least when it comes to texting and shredding the guitar.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_00]: Ha, moving on to some pets whose owners are the most unusual part of the partnership now.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_00]: With ninety-five percent of U.S.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_00]: pet owners reporting to feel their pet as part of the family, they can be tough when they pass away.
- 4:21[SPEAKER_00]: However, some people take their pedgreefe to a whole another level.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_00]: In do thousand eight, UK couple Kimmy and Stuart Walker Harris brought home a little puppy to a while named VV.
- 4:32[SPEAKER_00]: Small she might have been, but of all the family's dogs, Phoebe apparently had the biggest personality.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_00]: So much so, Kimmy claims Phoebe was, quote, the best dog ever.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_00]: However, in twenty twenty one at age thirteen, Phoebe passed away.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_00]: So as all normal pet owners would, Kimmy.
- 4:49[SPEAKER_00]: Wait am I reading this right?
- 4:52[SPEAKER_00]: Kimmy took Phoebe to the taxidermist and had her stuffed.
- 4:56[SPEAKER_00]: Oh sweet Jesus.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not kidding.
- 4:59[SPEAKER_00]: Just moments after Phoebe's final breath, she was hurled into Kimmy's freezer as to, you know, preserve her good looks.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_00]: She was then skinned, stretch, and stuffed, creating what Kimmy now caused the new Phoebe.
- 5:12[SPEAKER_00]: Now taking pride of place in the couple's bedroom, the new Phoebe purchase on a chair like she once did.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_00]: Only now, dead.
- 5:20[SPEAKER_00]: But that doesn't matter to Kimmy as she explains she's just like seeing and stroking her, even admitting to saying morning Phoebe every morning while petting the stuffed booch.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_00]: I just dread to think what Kimmy might do should stew her to kick the bucket.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_00]: It was a stormy day in South Africa, two thousand five, one a baby hippo, got caught in a flood.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_00]: Being just five months old, it must have been distressing, considering that hippos typically live under the protection of their mothers until around seven to eight years old.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_00]: However, this lost hippo was about to cross paths with forty-year-old Maryus Ells, who would take in and care for the animal.
- 5:57[SPEAKER_00]: Maryus caught him hump-free and, before long, hump-free and Maryus would become what Maryus liken to, father and son.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_00]: But would you believe it it turned out having a pet hippo was an ideal.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_00]: Being one of the most aggressive animals on the planet, Humphrey's hippo instincts meant he would often charge at people who dared go near Mary's farm.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_00]: Not only that, but he would sometimes break out of his enclosure, wanted to a nearby golf course, and then aggressively chased down the golfers.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds like a bit of fun in games, but the shocking truth is that hippos kill around five hundred people in Africa every year.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_00]: So this pet was a genuine public hazard.
- 6:36[SPEAKER_00]: But that in-by-the-marius, after all, Humphrey would never hurt him, right?
- 6:41[SPEAKER_00]: While on one fatal November day in two thousand eleven,
- 6:44[SPEAKER_00]: Everything changed.
- 6:45[SPEAKER_00]: I'm free out of nowhere turned on Marius, sending his own father on the one way train to Heaven'sville.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: Leaving his remains submerged in the very same river that Marius rescued Alfred from, just six years earlier.
- 6:58[SPEAKER_00]: It's sad, but I can't help but think this could have been avoided heading out, but friend at a one point two ton deadly beast.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_00]: Ever since being a little girl, UK resident Amanda Rogers had dreamed of having the perfect wedding.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: But even with a short-lived marriage during her twenties, Amanda never managed to find her Mr. Wright.
- 7:18[SPEAKER_00]: So feeling dismayed with human love, she turned her gaze to the Knaid world.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_00]: No, really.
- 7:24[SPEAKER_00]: She fell in love with Shiba, her pet Jack Russell.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_00]: And according to Amanda, it was a no-brainer.
- 7:30[SPEAKER_00]: After all, Shiba made her laugh and would comfort her when she was failing low.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_00]: She had everything you could want in a life partner.
- 7:37[SPEAKER_00]: You're probably wondering how one might go about proposing to a dog?
- 7:41[SPEAKER_00]: And well, it's easy.
- 7:42[SPEAKER_00]: Amanda simply got down on one knee and popped a question.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_00]: And it was obviously a yes when Shiba wagged her tail.
- 7:51[SPEAKER_00]: But whether we can consider that consent is open to debate.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_00]: But regardless, Amanda and Shiba married in twenty fourteen.
- 7:58[SPEAKER_00]: On officially brought together an holy matrimony in Croatia, they were joined by two hundred guests.
- 8:04[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, I wonder if any of Shiba's side of the family went to the ceremony?
- 8:08[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, Amanda described it as a wonderful moment while, surprisingly, Shiba is yet to comment on the marriage.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_00]: Though Amanda is sure she is quote, totally sheepish bitch.
- 8:20[SPEAKER_00]: So all together it seems either Amanda is a few dog treats short of a pet store, or she's one of the greatest trolls of our time.
- 8:26[SPEAKER_00]: I'll leave that up to you to decide.
- 8:30[SPEAKER_00]: Now we press forward onto a story of love and loss, the experience by Lisa Murray Lang from the UK.
- 8:36[SPEAKER_00]: It was twenty-nineteen when Lisa brought home her pet hamster spud for the first time.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_00]: Given the pandemic that began unfolding towards the end of twenty-nineteen, much of Spud's little life was spent in the COVID-nineteen lockdown.
- 8:49[SPEAKER_00]: While it's not exactly uncommon for hamsters to live their lives without exploring much further beyond their owner's house, Lisa felt guilty knowing Spud had never seen the world.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_00]: So she began crafting replicas of famous landmarks such as London, Paris, and Hogwarts to name a few,
- 9:05[SPEAKER_00]: showing spread the world from the comfort of home, though his favorite spot undoubtedly was Hawaii.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm a little jealous in his locked-down vacation.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_00]: But by March twenty twenty two, Spud kicked a bucket at just three years old, roughly the average life expectancy for a hamster.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_00]: Lisa was devastated, even claiming that Spud gave her a reason to get out of bed.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_00]: She knew in her heart that there was only one thing to do.
- 9:33[SPEAKER_00]: Hawaii.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_00]: What Spud now turned to ash Lisa took a four thousand dollar trip to Hawaii.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_00]: where Spud's essence was scattered into the Hawaiian breeze.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_00]: Really puts the popsicle stick gravesstone I made from my dead hamster to shame.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_00]: These days people can get carried away when it comes to pampering their poochies.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_00]: From grooming to garments, dogs have never been so domesticated.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_00]: However, this next bedowner takes it to another level.
- 10:02[SPEAKER_00]: In twenty twenty one, Canadian chef Sean McDonough got a beautiful laboratory puppy which he named hazelnut.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_00]: With a passion for cooking and a love for hazelnut, Sean got thinking, why not combine the two?
- 10:15[SPEAKER_00]: No, not cook hazelnut, but cook five star meals for hazelnut.
- 10:19[SPEAKER_00]: With a taste for the finer things, hazelnut routinely dines on dishes such as lobster bisc, king crab, cabinera, and chacutary boards to name a few.
- 10:29[SPEAKER_00]: When asked, Sean cited hazelnut's most luxurious meal as beef with fogra, bone marrow travel, and lobster.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_00]: Damn.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_00]: Does this mean there's a dog out there who literally eats better every day than I ever have?
- 10:42[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, Casal nuts even chowed down on Octopus.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, there's gotta be a way I can get in on this free deliciousness.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_00]: Um, woof, woof.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_00]: For most of us finding a rat in her house would cause other panic and chaos.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, it's not unheard of for people to have bad rats, but one woman has taken that to the extreme, commanding an army of fifty rats.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_00]: In twenty eighteen fifty-one-year-old California and Michelle Raven got herself four-ped rats.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_00]: Two naked rats, Chuck and Elvis, plus two hooded rats, Lucy and Ethel.
- 11:16[SPEAKER_00]: But for Michelle, four rats just didn't hit the spot.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_00]: Over the next four years, she would acquire forty-six more rats, when she allows to screw around her and her house.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_00]: It's the stuff of nightmares for many.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_00]: But according to Michelle, her quote unquote, Babies can do no wrong.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_00]: She testifies that there are personable creatures who are mostly friendly.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_00]: And while they're generally known for living in sewers and trash cans, Michelle says the idea of rats being dirty and diseased is just in an accurate stigma.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_00]: Ensure these little guys can be pretty cute on occasion.
- 11:50[SPEAKER_00]: But is that really an excuse to live with fifty of them Michelle?
- 11:54[SPEAKER_00]: Is it?
- 11:55[SPEAKER_00]: Meet seventy-three-year-old Linnea Latanzio.
- 11:58[SPEAKER_00]: In nineteen ninety-two, Linnea's father asked her to help him find a new pet cat.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, Linnea couldn't find him a pet cat, but she did find him fifteen kittens.
- 12:10[SPEAKER_00]: Ever since then, she hasn't been able to curve her passion for Feline friends.
- 12:15[SPEAKER_00]: So much so that in twenty sixteen it was reported she was sharing her home with around one thousand one hundred cats.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_00]: But don't worry, she isn't your classic throwing cats while I am coherently screaming tight cat lady.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_00]: She runs a sanctuary for Feral and abandoned kiddies.
- 12:31[SPEAKER_00]: The cat house on the Kings, found on Kings River Road in Parliere, California, is Linnaeus twelve acre cat sanctuary where she and her one thousand one hundred cats live.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_00]: Or at least Linnaeus, too, having been forced to vacate the overcrowded main house and set up camp in a mobile home.
- 12:49[SPEAKER_00]: But as crazy as a thousand cats may sound, Lene is constantly finding her feeling residents new homes with loving families.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_00]: So it's actually estimated that had in her whole career, she's had around twenty-eight thousand cats total.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_00]: But all this kitty care comes at a hefty cost.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_00]: Roughly one point six million dollars a year, taking into account staff, food, litter, maintenance, and medical fees.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, Lanet even trained as a vet to keep costs down, but that's not a scratch on the whole expense, which is just barely able to be funded by donations and sponsorships.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, I guess saving yourself over a million dollars a year by not being surrounded by over a thousand cats doesn't appeal to some folks, huh?
- 13:31[SPEAKER_00]: All right, gather round kids, I have a story to tell you.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_00]: This is the story of Chabba the Toad.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_00]: Once upon a time in twenty-nineteen, a woman named Sita Hood found a little green visitor on her porch, and known not the extra terrestrial kind.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_00]: The amphibian kind.
- 13:49[SPEAKER_00]: Sita was keen to accommodate her little toad guests, so she offered him a shooter live in.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_00]: Not just that, but she gave him a name, too.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_00]: He was now job of the toad.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: And Jabba was very pleased with his shoe house, so much so that every day Jabba would go about his life and then retreat back to the warm cozy and presumably slightly stanky comfort of Cena's shoe.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_00]: But as summer came to an end, Jabba departed into the nearby woods for hibernation.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_00]: It was a long and lonely winter for Sita, but as so often as the case, she loved revealed when the following spring Jabba returned to Sita's shoe.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_00]: It was then that Sita made the shoe job as official summer home, with a bold sign warning all to not disturb his majesty.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, there's been no public update as to whether Jabba returned for a third summer.
- 14:40[SPEAKER_00]: But Sita said the regardless of whether he returned again, she was grateful for Jabba's friendship.
- 14:45[SPEAKER_00]: And on that note, I'm grateful for your friendship.
- 14:48[SPEAKER_00]: So far, we've already seen how bereaved pet owners can do the strangest things when they're pets die.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_00]: And well, this next story is no exception.
- 14:57[SPEAKER_00]: In two thousand eight, Beth and Brian Willis, a retired couple from the UK, made headlines after doing something pretty peculiar with their dearly departed dogs.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_00]: Turned out, they had made them into sweaters.
- 15:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, what was once a Swedish Loppelun named Penny, and White Samoyed named Kara, were both immortalized and sweater form.
- 15:20[SPEAKER_00]: As insane as that might sound, Resta shared that Beth and Brian weren't exactly wearing their pet skin.
- 15:26[SPEAKER_00]: What they'd actually done was collect the multi-furb from their dogs, and when they eventually passed, had it spun into yarn, which was used to knit their woolly sweaters.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_00]: Still, I'm not gonna lie Beth and Brian, and it's a bit weird.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_00]: Nevertheless, they're smitten with their sweaters, claiming they're quote extremely warm and pretty much waterproof.
- 15:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you get caught in the rain with one of these on, just give yourself a quick shake and you're good to go.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, Lady Gaga.
- 15:53[SPEAKER_00]: Popstar, movie star, fashion icon.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_00]: She's a global phenomenon.
- 15:58[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wait, wait.
- 16:00[SPEAKER_00]: They're telling me we're not talking about that Lady Gaga.
- 16:04[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, from the top.
- 16:07[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, Lady Gaga.
- 16:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, Lady Gaga isn't just a pop star, but a few shipping chicken belonging to Sharon folks.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_00]: A big fan of the real Gaga, Sharon named her chick Lady Gaga and dresses her in equally eccentric outfits, which, by the way, she occasionally matches with.
- 16:27[SPEAKER_00]: Work at girls?
- 16:29[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not just her name and appearance that pays homage to the star, but according to Sharon, the little clicker even has a diva attitude to match.
- 16:38[SPEAKER_00]: Much like the star Lady Gaga turns heads everywhere she goes with her posse.
- 16:43[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, as if seeing someone walking and chicken wouldn't already grab your attention, let alone the chicken wearing a dress.
- 16:50[SPEAKER_00]: But that's just the life of a star.
- 16:52[SPEAKER_00]: From photo shoots to attending events such as Manhattan's annual blessings of the animals where pet owners come together to celebrate their animal pals, Lady Gaga's one busy chick.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_00]: And hey, she's even a musician too.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_00]: With any luck, perhaps one day will even get some chicken covers of Lady Gaga's best hits.
- 17:11[SPEAKER_00]: Click her face, the edge of Clawry, Beek romance, all right, I'll stop.
- 17:17[SPEAKER_00]: All I want to know is, once the hottest musical collab of the year coming from Gaga and Boo.
- 17:22[SPEAKER_00]: Out the time's rescue animals don't have the best start in life.
- 17:26[SPEAKER_00]: And when Texas man Chris Mendiola rescued his dog Bear in the year of the year, he noticed something shocking.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_00]: Bear had a tattoo.
- 17:35[SPEAKER_00]: Disgusted that anyone could do such a thing Chris decided to make a statement.
- 17:39[SPEAKER_00]: He got a matching tattoo.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_00]: But what exactly was the tattoo?
- 17:45[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's just say it wasn't your classic rose or hard kind of tattoo.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_00]: Instead, it was a male symbol with a cross-thruit.
- 17:53[SPEAKER_00]: Or as people were quick to point out to Chris, a medical symbol indicating that Bear had been neutered.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_00]: You see in the U.S., some vet's and shelters will tattoo dogs that have had the sniff, so they know they're not a threat of becoming a multiple-time baby daddy around their local area.
- 18:09[SPEAKER_00]: To Chris' surprise, his grand gesture, which was intended to be heartfelt, sent him viral for all the wrong reasons.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_00]: Still, Chris maintains that his tattoo was but a sign of love for bear, and that he has no regrets.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_00]: Are you sure Chris?
- 18:23[SPEAKER_00]: And that even just a little... You've heard the phrase to work like a horse.
- 18:30[SPEAKER_00]: And while that's because generally horses are hard workers.
- 18:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yet one horse and Korea doesn't exactly have the greatest work ethic.
- 18:38[SPEAKER_00]: me gin gang.
- 18:40[SPEAKER_00]: The horse who refuses to work right and, well, do anything.
- 18:44[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, this horse is so lazy that if anyone tries to ride him, they'll simply drop to the floor and play dead.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_00]: And let me tell ya he does a very convincing job.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_00]: With his eyes closed, mouth a jar and contorted arms and legs, the sponi puts on a truly Oscar winning performance.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_00]: After lying there for a moment or two, he'll then wait until the coast is cleared and then stand back up.
- 19:07[SPEAKER_00]: But should anyone approach him again?
- 19:09[SPEAKER_00]: He'll re-assume the deathbed performance.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_00]: While the collapsing to the floor isn't certainly unique, it said that horses might refuse to ride for a multitude of reasons.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_00]: The four main ones cited as either pain, misunderstanding fear, or as is likely the case with Gen Gang, disrespect, challenging the authority of the perceived leader of the social hierarchy, or maybe the source just needs a chance to make it big on the stage, saying his name and lights in Broadway, as he so clearly desires.
- 19:39[SPEAKER_00]: Someone get this fine actor in agent,
- 19:43[SPEAKER_00]: And today's day and age everyone should feel free to be and express who they truly are no matter what race gender or sexuality.
- 19:51[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, things have gotten so progressive that even a dog had gender reassignment surgery.
- 19:57[SPEAKER_00]: Well, in a way, allow me to explain.
- 20:01[SPEAKER_00]: and twenty-fifteen Frank and Mary finally, a couple from Scotland bought a female Jack Russell named Molly.
- 20:07[SPEAKER_00]: However, over time, they noticed Molly wasn't behaving all too ladylike.
- 20:11[SPEAKER_00]: And what they described as increasingly male behavior, Molly would do amnately masculine canine behaviors, such as sometimes lifting her leg to pee.
- 20:20[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds minor, but the finally is wondered if there might be a medical issue or discomfort causing the behaviors, so they took Molly to the vet.
- 20:28[SPEAKER_00]: Lo and behold, an examination would reveal that Molly was actually intersex, that is she exhibited both male and female privates.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_00]: And Molly's case she had for one of a better word, normal female external bits, but a pair of a, shall we say, two toys hiding on the inside.
- 20:47[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, this is extremely rare what with only fifteen other recorded cases of a similar situation on record.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_00]: Still, the vet went ahead and removed Molly's male parts of farming that doing so would prevent it from developing into a potentially painful condition as she got older.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: Regardless, it's said that she's now happy fit and healthy.
- 21:06[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for listening to the podcast, we'll see you again next time you'll want to be amazed.
