I laughed, and laughed a lot for some reason, at this little story from BBC. It also made me happy because at least people’s hearts are in the right place.

Apparently concerned Brits in the town of Southampton in Hampshire have dialed 999, the equivalent of the US 911, to report a pony stuck in the mud on a number of different occasions.  Firecrews rushed to the pony’s rescue each time. Only problem is Mayflower (that’s her in the picture there) was never stuck in the mud. She just has really short legs and a long sausage like body.
