Transmigration of the Soul?
Suzanna and Babe lived at Old Friends – the home of the old dogs at Best Friends Dogtown. Suzanna was a very lively girl and had a little dance in which she would hop up off her front feet when she got excited. Babe was rather placid.

About a year ago, Suzanna went over the Rainbow Bridge. A few days later, Babe’s behavior changed altogether. She became very lively, took on all, or at least most, of Suzanna’s mannerisms, and started doing Suzanna’s dance – getting excited and hopping up off her front feet.

The Raven Conspiracy.
About three years ago, the ravens who hang around Dogtown, swooping down on unattended bowls of dog food (there aren’t that many unattended bowls!) made some kind of a deal with the dogs.

The big food storage building overlooks Dogtown from the top of the hill and is known to the dogs as The Great Temple of Food. The ravens would gather around the building and, when it was open, they would fly in and grab some unopened cans of cat food. They would then fly over Dogtown, dropping the cans on the dogs, who would get quite excited and try to open them. While the dogs were busy opening the cans, the ravens would make off with the regular dog food.

In the interests of safety (dogs opening cans with their teeth is not good dental practice!), the doors to the Great Temple of Food are now kept closed as much as possible.

Beaming Up Missy.
One of the Dogtown staffers is convinced that Missy, an old Border collie who goes all over Dogtown spreading rumors and gossip, is actually an alien. This is because if you go to Dogtown after dark and shine a flashlight , Missy will always come running and then stand right in the beam. This can only be because she expects to be beamed up.

And here's one from the Brazilian newspaper O Estado de Sao Paulo, which appeared on November 29, 2001

Cows Reportedly Watched as UFOs Crashed in Brazil

A Brazilian farmer said an explosion from a mid-air crash between two low-flying UFOs had temporarily blinded his cattle herd. Five other witnesses in Corguinho, southwest Brazil, say they saw the crash, too.

Farmer Getulio Alves said the explosion burned trees nearby, but police say they haven’t found any evidence.

An official from the Doorway Project, which provides UFO information to tourists, told the newspaper: “The blast happened in a hard-to-reach place. We still haven’t found the wreckage, but soon we’ll find it and prove it’s all true.”

No comment yet from the cows.
