TOKYO (Reuters) – A dog that survived in a house swept away to sea
three weeks ago by the devastating Japan tsunami was saved on Friday
by a coast guard rescue team flying over an island of debris.

Local television showed an aerial view of a brown medium-sized dog
trotting around the roof of the house -- the only part of it floating
above water -- before disappearing inside through a broken section of
the roof.

The coast guard rescuers, thinking there might also be people alive
inside the house, lowered one of their team onto the roof. He tried to
coax the dog out, but then went in after tearing a wider opening. He
came out with the dog in his arms and they were transported back to
safety by boat.

LONDON -- A British community college says it has a recorded a house
cat whose lawnmower-like purr hit 73 decibels - 16 times louder than
the average feline.

Northampton College in central England said Wednesday that it had
dispatched a music team with specialist sound equipment to record 12-
year-old Smokey. The recording has been submitted to the Guinness
World Records.

The gray-and-white tabby has already made several appearance in the
local press, where journalists compared the purr to the sound of a
Boeing 747 from a mile away.
