Man arrested after trying to revive critter
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — Police say they charged a Pennsylvania man with public drunkenness after he was seen trying to resuscitate a long-dead opossum along a highway.
State police trooper Jamie Leviier said several witnesses saw 55-year-old Donald Wolfe, of Brookville, near the animal Thursday along Route 36 in Oliver Township, about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Wolfe kneeling before the animal and gesturing as though he were conducting a seance. He said another saw Wolfe attempting to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Zoo holds celebration for 50-year-old primate
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Zoo is used to hosting birthday parties, but this one was a little different.
Duchess the orangutan turned 50 on Saturday, and the zoo treated her to gifts, an ice cake filled with fruit and a rendition of "Happy Birthday" by hundreds of zoo visitors.
Her keeper, Bob Keesecker, said Duchess didn't seem too stressed about the milestone.
"I told her it was her birthday today and she didn't seem to be overly concerned about it," he said. "I made sure her hair looked good before she went out."
Zoo officials say Duchess is the nation's oldest captive Bornean orangutan, and is now 10 years older than the 40-year life expectancy of orangutans in the wild.
Duchess was just 2 years old when the zoo opened in 1962 and is one of only a few remaining original animals. She has given birth seven times and
lives with one of her daughters, her daughter's mate and their daughter.
Saturday's birthday party included the groundbreaking of a new $4 million orangutan exhibit that will provide a more natural environment for Duchess and her family.
'Potentially dangerous' dog damages police car
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A pit bull mix in Tennessee has been sentenced to obedience training after his attack on a local police car.
Winston didn't bite anybody, but he mauled a Chattanooga police car
in what might have been a confused attempt to take a bite out of crime.The persistent pooch managed to tear off a section of the front bumper and damage the tires.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that a judge ruled that Winston had been a very bad dog. He was sentenced to obedience and canine good citizen classes, and he'll have to wear a tag that says he is "potentially dangerous."
Charges against his owner will be dismissed if the classes are completed successfully.
